If you're a fan of WWF, WCW or ECW then this is the game you've always dreamed of. The gates of The Game of Wrestling � 2001 have just opened for you. You get complete creative control of your federation. HWF, EWA or UKCW. But just like Vince McMahon you've got to plan ahead if you're federation is going to get to the top, if you are going to cram everything into your show. The Game of Wrestling � 2001 gives you control of one of the three different wrestling organizations, Hardcore Wrestling Foundation, Extreme Wrestling Alliance or United Kingdom Championship Wrestling. Each organization having fourteen wrestlers featuring three attributes. It's a massive monster of a game which takes play by mail gaming to a whole new level. But managing a federation isn't all glitz and glamour - it's a serious business. And that's the brilliance of The Game of Wrestling � 2001 system. You've got to learn how to lure the fans into the stadiums by putting on amazing wrestling matches or creating the next Rock or Stonecold. The wrestlers are what everyone comes to see, but if you make the wrong matches you will loose the ongoing battle for ratings in no time. Know your enemy! It is important to know what your fans are thinking, what they want and how to give it to them. Keeping the fans happy is an aim for all wrestling organizations. As they sit and watch the show's that you put on week in week out, they will chant, sing or boo during wrestling matches. This shows what they are currently thinking. Each turn (normally every two to three weeks). You will put on seven matches of your choice. You can choose who wrestles, who wins and more. And a rating is determined from the crowd reactions at your show. People don't just watch a wrestling show for wrestling alone, they also want some entertainment. Storylines such as certain wrestlers attacking others or being challenged to an TLC match. This can bring yet more entertainment to a show. This increases the ratings while helping your bank balance. As for each rating you receive for a show, you generate money from it. Your ultimate goal is to take eight of your best wrestlers and enter them in the champions PPV and your wrestlers will be up against eight of the other two federations best wrestlers to battle it out for the World Champions Belt. To summarize The Game of Wrestling � 2001 briefly, you, the owner of your federation will each turn, create a wrestling show like that of Raw is War. You will create the show step by step from behind the scenes, bringing in new wrestlers, sending current ones to a training camp to creating Pay Per Views, deciding who wins wrestling matches.
