WWE Legends of WrestleMania embraces the leading sports entertainment organization's rich history to relive, rewrite or redefine the definitive elements of WWE from the Eighties and Nineties. Players will experience the entertaining lives of 40 larger-than-life Legends and have control over Legendary Managers, each of whom will play crucial roles in match outcomes. The game's new grapple-based fighting system captures the high-energy action and drama seen in vintage WWE matches, while a historically accurate representation of past WWE telecasts will set the stage, including dynamic visual treatments, signature ring entrances, renowned commentators and notable venues. WWE Legends of WrestleMania also includes a WrestleMania Tour Mode that allows players to participate in key matches from multiple WrestleMania events, a Create-A-Legend system to develop the Legends of tomorrow, as well as online functionality for players to compete on the biggest stages in WWE history.

It's easy to envision THQ looking towards its strengths and customer demographics and coming to the conclusion that wrestling, and the lucrative WWE license in particular, are key to the company's future success. While Smackdown vs. Raw has sat atop the world of wrestling videogames for a while, fan reaction and simple math show there are plenty of wrestling fans not playing wrestling games (or if they are, they're playing older games on outdated consoles).
