Opening Statement:
Hello, my name is Jon, and I am a wrestling addict.  The “soap opera for dudes” became my dark passenger at the tender age of 5, watching WWF Superstars and World Championship Wrestling (NWA) with my grandfather in the late 80s.  It didn’t matter which company I was watching, I’d take my wrestling however I could get it.  While my interest has wavered over the years, and my watching has diminished to one or two PPV shows, and the occasional episode on TV, I still consider myself a lifelong wrestling fan.  I miss the days of loosing my mind when Rick Derringer’s “Real American” would triumphantly blast through the speakers of my television, because that meant that in mere seconds, Hulk Hogan was going to walk through that curtain and vanquish the world’s evils inside the squared circle.  Protected by a hundred storey high wall of nostalgia (hulkastolgia?), these childhood favourites, these grapplers of yesteryear have now been repackaged in their very own wrestling videogame.  Legends of Wrestlemania takes our life-sized action figures and challenges gamers to relive their greatest battles, to rewrite the outcome of their greatest feuds, and to redefine an entire era of professional wrestling on what is without a doubt, the grandest stage of them all.
