The game uses a side-on one-on-one fighting perspective, with some modes or matches involving multiple opponents. Players move with the directional controls and use attack, jump, and grappling inputs to launch combos, throws, aerial attacks, and signature specials. Each wrestler has unique moves and a powerful finishing attack. Matches are typically won by defeating the opponent across rounds or match objectives.

Bret Hart

A technical wrestler who excels at quick combos and pressure.

The Undertaker

A power character with heavy hits and strong control tools.

Razor Ramon

A balanced fighter with solid offense and defense.

Shawn Michaels

A fast, agile fighter built around rapid offense.

Diesel

A heavy hitter with strong close-range pressure.

Lex Luger

A well-rounded power fighter with reliable fundamentals.

Learn each wrestler’s special-move input and confirm hits with short strings before following up with throws or finishers. Against heavy characters, avoid trading recklessly; bait a slow attack, then counter while they recover. When an opponent is knocked down, keep pressure on their wake-up timing to prevent them from regaining control.
