How it plays
Matches use a third-person, ring-level camera. Players move around the ring, strike opponents, initiate grapples, perform wrestling moves, run, taunt, and seek a pinfall or submission according to the selected match rules.
The game offers exhibition matches, tag-team bouts, battle royals, and championship-focused play. Wrestlers have different attributes and move sets, while momentum and damage affect the success of attacks and finishing techniques. Reversals and careful timing are central to longer matches.
Plan your run
Learn the grapple timing before attempting powerful moves. Weakening an opponent with strikes and targeted attacks makes pins and submissions more reliable.
Save finishing moves for moments when the opponent is sufficiently damaged. In tag matches, keep your partner available for saves and avoid fighting near the opposing corner when possible.
Use reversals conservatively, watch the momentum balance, and vary attacks so the opponent cannot easily counter the same sequence.

It presents the World Championship Wrestling roster and the influential New World Order faction in a presentation built around televised wrestling spectacle. Matches emphasize grappling, reversals, strikes, taunts, ring positioning, and pin attempts rather than traditional arcade rounds.

It is also widely remembered as a defining AKI wrestling title and an important Nintendo 64 multiplayer game.
