Matches take place in a side-view wrestling ring where players choose WWF superstars and compete in singles, tag-team, or tournament-oriented modes. Core actions include movement, strikes, grapples, and rope interactions. Wrestlers differ somewhat in feel and animation, so timing matters when attacking or attempting pins. Progress in longer modes comes from defeating multiple opponents in succession and managing momentum across bouts.

Learn each wrestler’s attack timing and grapple range before committing to a main pick. Wear opponents down with safer hits before going for pins, since early covers are easy to escape. In tag matches, maintain positioning to avoid getting trapped near the corner or ropes. Against stronger opponents, play patiently, punish recoveries, and use ring spacing to control the pace.
