newLEGACYinc is a video game streaming group on YouTube and Twitch, who focus mainly on Professional Wrestling.

Created in 2009, the group initially consisted of Johnny (AKA johnEblud), the primary streamer and de facto leader of the group, along with friends Slip, LT, and Blake. It has since expanded to include many other gamers and wrestling fans, including Duel, Jericho, and Homer (formerly collectively known as 3MBTeam), Htial, Dino Winwood (impressionist and real-life wrestling manager), Sprite, Adam, Beefy (the editor and producer for the highlight videos) and Caveman (co-creator of the "Hogan vs. Flair" Create-a-Wrestler league), as well as occasional appearances from Johnny's pet cat Smokey. They've also befriended various real-life wrestling personalities, including Vince Russo, Evil Uno, Jervis Cottonbelly, Andrew Everett, Rosemary, Dakota Kai, Brennan Williams, Shane Thorne, Mansoor, Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze, Adam Cole, Colt Cabana and Brodie Lee.Through the group's expansion and changes, it has remained consistent in its love for wrestling video games, along with Grand Theft Auto V, The Jackbox Party Pack, and other fun games.

Some of the group's most popular wrestling game series and projects include:

• UMAD: An MST or Retsupurae for pro wrestling videos, featuring the guys providing reactions to backyard wrestling, Create-A-Wrestler leagues, action figure wrestling, among other miscellaneous videos. One of the most popular series for early fans, the series was eventually ended due to viewers finding and harassing the original video makers, usually young children.
• Story Time: The group watches randomly downloaded custom stories from the THQ WWE games. This series ended after Story Designer was discontinued.
• Universe Mode: Featuring two to three members managing brands in WWE Universe Mode, with the group making up storylines as the year progresses. Preceded by a "universe" in 2K14, in which the group booked and played Pay-Per-Views through online matches with randomly selected wrestlers and improvised storylines. It eventually became part of the 2K15 Universe continuity through Arc Welding, continuing into 2K16. Held from 2K15 through 2K18, currently on hiatus.
• The Saltyverse: A semi-competitive series of online matches in WWE 2K17.
• Slipdown vs. Raw is Johnny: A playthrough of GM Mode in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2006.
• Playthroughs of story/career modes for WWE and other wrestling games.
• Royal Rumble Marathons: The group simulates Royal Rumble-style matches in as many wrestling video games as possible, with the goal of squaring off the winners in the Royaliest of Rumbles.
• Stable Wars: A series where 4 nL members (and occasionally other associates) play through various wrestling games using 4 teams of 5 randomly chosen wrestlers.
• Kingiest of the Ringiest
• Elimination Chamber Eliminator
• Wrestling Games Grand Prix: Spun off from nL's Kingiest of the Ringiest event, a series of championship matches where the champion defends against any wrestler in any video game so long as they are both on the default roster. Initially featuring a single world title, a Multiversal title was later added allowing CAWs to fight each other so long as they are in a game with a currently functional online workshop. On hiatus as of June 2023.
• Whose Gimmick Is It Anyway?: A series where Johnny and Co. pick a wrestler from the roster of a game and switch up their attires, entrances, and move sets in a competition to make the most hilarious and cleverest combination. (Shawn Michael Cole, Brazor Ramon, The Kevin Owens Show, etc.) They then battle it out as the creations in a match. Just like the show the title references, the winner doesn't matter.

nL currently streams on Twitch, and can be found on YouTube here and here.

HULLO! And welcome everyone to newLEGACYinc's tropes!

• Ascended Meme:
  • After a Sheamoose sign appeared on WWE programming, Sheamus himself went on to tweet about it.
  • During Charlie Haas' match at Ring of Honor's Final Battle 2012, a "fiscal" sign could be seen in the crowd in addition to a small chant for it.
  • Spotted at the 2015 Bound for Glory show: "THE BIG DOG" (for Andrew Everett's match) and "nL Slip HOF" signs.
  • "Big Dick Nick" has become an Ascended Meme after Shane Thorne revealed he's aware of the meme's existence.
  • Rene Dupree is aware of nL's SVR 2006 season mode video about him, after he was asked about it during a livestream.
  • The idea of the Kingiest of the Ringiest started as a joke, suggested by chat during the 2019 Rumblethon and made into a donation goal (which unexpectedly wound up being met).
• Big "NO!": Duel's frequent use of the expression "OH NO!" when something bad happens to him while playing games has reached the point of Memetic Mutation.
• Big "WHAT?!": Johnny when the Payback PPV in the WWE 2K15 Universe Mode started with Ryback vs. Sting.
• Butt-Monkey: Duel tends to get made fun of the most. Being the game-runner for the Royal Rumble Marathons doesn't help him, as everyone is convinced (despite all evidence to the contrary) that he's going to rig the Rumbles in favor of Edge.
• Dueling Shows: In-Universe:
  • SlipDown! vs. RAW is JOHNNY.
  • SmackDown (Htial) vs. RAW (Duel). Becomes the centrepiece of a faction war between the new owners of SmackDown and RAW.
  • During the brief 2K17 Universe, WWE (Duel) vs. WCW (Jericho) vs. ECW (Johnny).
  • In the 2K23 MyGM series, RAW (Johnny) vs. SmackDown (Slip) vs. WCW (Adam) vs. NXT 2.0 (Jericho).
• Earn Your Happy Ending: This is a big one. After being kicked off Twitch.tv two hours into the 2014 TNAid charity stream (a twenty-four hour marathon effort for the anti-cancer charity Fighting Back), nL switched over to Hitbox.tv, a competing streaming site. They were greeted not only by the entire viewing audience who had switched over, but by a Hitbox admin, who proceeded to immediately grant nL partnership benefits, AS WELL AS donating a couple hundred dollars to their total himself! Furthermore, in a craze instigated by one of the channel's moderators, the nL audience got several notable wrestling personalities to retweet the stream link, from the likes of indy stalwarts Michael Elgin and The Young Bucks to WWE legends like Jake Roberts and Triple H! Further furthermore, infamous wrestling personality Vince Russo not only retweeted the link multiple times, he even joined the Skype call - twice - to book a show in EWR with the nL crew, and to close out the marathon by promising that anyone who bought a membership pass to Russo's website would see their money donated to nL's grand total, which by the end of their stream was over $10,000!
• Fan Boy:
  • Jericho is one to "Straight Shootin'" Stevie Ray. To the point where one episode of the Royal Rumble Marathon has him endlessly listing facts about him.
  • Duel is a huge Edge fan boy.
• Formula-Breaking Episode: They are known for playing mostly wrestling games... so one night, they decide to watch a children's Spelling Bee.
• Mad Libs Dialogue: In this video, they play for "the... Of. Of. Of. Of. Of. Of. Championship!"
• Number Two: The position moves around a lot, depending on who is available for the call at what times. Slip is considered this by many, seeing as how he was with Johnny during the first UMAD. Jericho assumes this role in the Universe Mode streams. Sprite takes this role on the group's Discord server as the only other member besides Johnny who is regularly logged-on and contributes to discussions.
• Planet of Steves: The end goal of Adam's 2K23 Universe playthrough; everyone Axiom defeats must also wear Axiom's mask.
• Power Trio: Duel, Jericho, and former member Homer, colloquially known as newLegacy's "3MB-Team."
• Running Gag:
  • Table matches in 2K16 and 2K17 ending as a result of a glitch that breaks a table. Usually happens against Johnny.
  • Cody Rhodes showing up as a surprise opponent in every PPV sim of 2022 when we least expect it.
  • Every member of newLegacy not named Duel booing Edge any time he appears in a Royal Rumble.
  • During the 2015 Rumblethon, an organic example occurred: Triple H just kept showing up to screw over Yoshihiro Tajiri, to the point where nL started comparing poor Tajiri to Daniel Bryan.
    "He's gonna start the HAI! Movement!"
• Shout-Out:
  • Given nL are fanatical wrestling fans, their streams are loaded with obscure wrestling references. For example, nL's namesake is a shout-out to former WWE stable, The Legacy. Additionally, whenever L.T. closes out a stream, he does so with a string of shout outs, firstly paraphrasing Zack Ryder's conclusion to "Z! True Long Island Story", then stating "I've got two words for ya" before signing off with "Keep dancing!".
  • "I've got two words for ya" is a shout out not just to WWE's D-Generation X, but also to Wade Needham of NoDQ CAW fame, whose two words to close the show were "Be cool!".
• Spin-Off: Homer, Duel, and Jericho's "Not In My Ballad," which can best be described as UMAD for wrestling related Music Videos.
• Spin-Off Babies: When it's ECW Anarchy Rulz's turn in the 2017 Rumblethon, that Rumble turns out to be simulated under "Big Boy Mode," which not only enlarges the wrestlers' heads but makes them very chubby as well, resulting in infant-like proportions. Everyone immediately decides it's ECW Babies, despite Johnny's protests to the contrary.
• Tournament Arc:
  • The "Brawl 4 All Stars Tournament" that took place on August 4th, 2012, which was won by Turd Master2.
  • The Brawl 4 All Tournament was done in several years after, with UFC Undisputed 3 and Fire Pro Wrestling Returns (twice, one with male wrestlers and another with female wrestlers)
  • The Hokey Pokey Tournament, hosted by Blake. Held every few months. The game used is WWE Wrestlemania 2000, where Blake has recreated iconic nL characters, as well as making some new stars. Most notable of the new blood: Willy 2 Silly.
  • The WWE 2K15 Universe Mode had one in the King of the Ring, supposedly hosted by Lucha Underground's Dario Cueto, which was really just Dino doing another one of his endless impressions.
  • In a non-wrestling or MMA game example, Duel and Jericho held the Turd Martial Farts Tournament in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, with the two of them playing in every match.
  • The 2016 Valentine's Day Tournament in FPWR, featuring both real life and storyline wrestling couples.
• Unlikely Hero:
  • Corey Graves in nL's Universe mode. He goes from being completely forgotten about during the draft to being randomized as the first World Heavyweight Champion, and proceeds to surprise everybody (including Johnny and Jericho) by constantly winning matches, defeating Brock Lesnar numerous times, making Brock tap out to win back the World Heavyweight Championship, and continues fighting despite being destroyed by Brock at Summerslam.
  • Xavier Woods surprisingly became one on episode #14 of Raw. After not appearing at all after losing on the first SmackDown he is traded to Raw and put in a WWE Championship match against Kane? (02), WHICH HE WINS! Woods even acknowledged the win on Twitter.
• With Lyrics:
  • Tree Tree McGee (an Undertaker druid with a brown robe and green hood) has Undertaker's theme, to which L. T. sings "I am a tree, I am brown and also green". This is later applied to Paul Bear, for whom the lyrics instead go "I am a bear, I do Tombstone over there".
  • Culminates hilariously during Paul Bear's double run-in when the CPU manages to line the Tombstone Piledriver up perfectly onto a weapon, leading Johnny to exclaim "I am a bear and I do Tombstone ON A CHAIR!"
  • During Rhyno's season mode, Johnny sings along to Rhyno's theme, as heard in this video
  • The same is done with the World's Greatest Tag Team theme during Charlie Haas' season mode.
• Wham Episode:
  • Two hours into nL's second annual anti-cancer charity stream - intended to be a twenty-four hour marathon - their channel was unpredictably and unceremoniously banned from Twitch.tv due to a DMCA complaint filed against them.
  • Night of Champions, what started as just a send-off to the WWE 2K14 servers ended up this. During the main event, Vince McMahon crashes the feed, announces that the 2K14 and 2K15 Universes have been crossed and he's in power with help from new West Ofrica and Stardust. A news broadcast with LT reveals Kane 02 is reeking havoc post being unmasked. Plus Bray Wyatt has built a new partner for Robodango who might be the Terminator, and Dario Culo reveals he only gave Vince half the power and the other half appears to belong to Shane!
• Wrestling Monster: To the boys surprise and horror, Semmy Schilt plays this role in the 2024 Kingiest of the Ringiest, demolishing all competition in short order with only Bruno Sammartino slowing him down. He ultimately loses to Randy Orton in the semi-finals by count-out.
