WWE Legends of Wrestling is an original series made specifically for the WWE Classics on Demand service.[1] The program features various "legends" of the business, for their work in and out of the ring, having a roundtable discussion about specific topics, persons, or occurrences in the history of wrestling. The show was originally hosted by WWE commentator Jim Ross–with former interviewer Gene Okerlund filling in for him on a few occasions[2]–until Okerlund took over hosting duties completely with the show's fourth panel.

As of July 2014, all episodes have been made available on the WWE Network. Subsequently 18 of the 33 episodes were removed once again as of August 2014. As of March 17, 2015, all 33 episodes are once again available on the WWE Network.
