		Modern professional wrestling is commonly associated within a company (often referred to as a fed), where the participants create an entertaining show simulating a dueling match.

		The match is essentially nullified, and called a draw or, in certain storylines, a restart or extended wrestling period is made possible by an authority figure.

		The steel cage match is set up particularly well because there's actually a door on the side of the cage that must be smashed open before any of the wrestlers can escape, but even after the door is open, wrestlers won't automatically jump off the ring apron to the ground.
		The ladder match is also a little different in that the belt is totally out of reach at the beginning of the match, even if a ladder was used.
		Legends of Wrestling II also features a tournament mode in which you can compete in standard, tag, or tag team title tournaments, but the game's main attraction is the career mode, which essentially functions as Legends' story mode.

		Like its predecessor, Legends of Wrestling II features a great concept--it allows you to play as some of the greatest personalities in the history of professional wrestling, such as Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Andre the Giant.
		The problem is that for a sequel, it does nothing to enhance the gameplay found in its predecessor, sans a few new moves and match types.
		Legends of Wrestling II is plagued by the same contradiction as every other wrestling videogame, but it has a somewhat rougher time of it than most.

		He also never withdrew from his public stance that professional wrestling was pure show, and for a class of patrons who, whatever their gullibility, now went to matches primarily to be entertained, he sought new ways to entertain them.
