Backyard Wrestling is a series of wrestling games aimed at young people, released for the Xbox and for the PlayStation 2 in 2003. It was developed by Paradox Development, while

the publishers of the series are Eidos.

Backyard Wrestling is also a term used for executing moves as seen on television or in live shows while not being trained to perform them. Professional wrestlers are highly prepared for their stunts, not to mention the kind of help they receive from props and cinematic angles, from which the average person does not benefit. There's an ongoing debate on whether practicing wrestling-like moves outside the official sporting venue is a bad thing or not. However, do not try to imitate anything you see in this game.

Backyard Wrestling offers a rather humorous take on the whole wrestling frenzy that is sweeping the world. All the wrestlers in the game are kids. You can choose one of the already existing characters, or you can create your own wrestler so that you can then pit them against already established names.

Because the backdrop of the wrestling game is a backyard, as suggested by the title, there are a lot of things different from professional wrestling. The moves are even more outrageous than in real fights and physics much more forgiving. Also, everything within the game world can be used to hit the adversary or as props for even more weird fighting moves. Do not try any of these in real life!

GLITCH

Mad Man Pondo and Talk Show Terror

If you are on top of anything and if Pondo grabs you for a slam move, then one of his moves, if countered, might make you throw him into the back of the set. He will not be able to get back to where you are. He will be trapped forever, causing you to quit the match.

Spinning head

When fighting in the slaughter house, get zapped by the man zapping the cow. When he zaps, look at his head. Its spins in a full circle.

Listen to music while game is paused

Pause game play and music will stop too. Unplug the controller and you will see a screen that reads "The controller has been unplugged. Insert the controller and press X to continue". Put the controller back in and press X. The game will still be paused, but the music will be playing now.
