Championship Wrestling

STRENGTH
Each wrestler enters the ring with the same strength level presented in the chevron bars just below 
the fighter's name on the screen. Each move you make saps your strength. Some moves, like the 
airplane spin, take more strength than others. 
So choose your moves carefully. If you attemt a tough move at a weak moment, you may find yourself 
down for the count. You can buy a little time by dodging and your strength level will rise again. And 
you wear your opponent's strength down with punches and kicks before you attempt your best moves on him.
A word of advice: let your strength level slip too far and it won't take much to knock you down. 
If your strength level drops to 2, your wrestler will drop to the mat.
  
GETTING AROUND THE RING
To move your wrestler around the ring, move the joystick in any of the eight 
directions you want to go. You can circle the ring, get into position for a 
move, or dodge your opponent. Sound easy? Maybe so. But it won't seem so 
easy when you're dodging two tons of mad mauler and the crowd is going wild. 
When the action heats up, just remember all the movement around the ring is 
made only with the joystick.

USING THE ROPES
If you're good, you'll know how to use the ropes to full advantage. Run full 
tilt into them and you'll bounce back into the ring with enough speed and 
momentum for your next move. Reverse your joystick direction as soon as you 
hit the ropes to get maximum rebound.

THE FLYING DROP KICK AND SPIN KICK
You don't necessarily have to move in close to your opponent to deliver a body
bashing blow. With the flying drop kick and spin kick you can inflict your damage 
long distance. 
For a flying drop kick, hold the fire button down and push the joystick forward.
For a spin kick, hold the fire button down and pull the joystick back.

MAKING THE NEXT MOVE
If you've moved in close to your opponent, you can strike with one of four 
basic moves - Punch, Kick, Left Headlock, or a Right Headlock. Press and hold 
the fire button.
To Punch push joystick forward.
To Kick, pull joystick back.
To attempt a Left Headlock, move left.
To attempt a Right Headlock, move right.

TAKING YOUR OPPONENT DOWN FROM A HEADLOCK
You've got your opponent squirming in a headlock. The advantage is yours. Now 
what? You've got 3 ways to bring him to the mat - Suplex, Body Suplex, or 
Atomic Drop.
Or you can give your opponent a lift and get him ready for another set of 
moves. To make any of these moves, your strength level must be higher than 
your opponents. The Lift requires the most strength. The Body Suplex requires 
the least. So choose your moves carefully. You don't want to find yourself 
face down on the mat. All 4 moves are made with the firebutton pressed.
For the Lift push joystick forward.
For the Suplex pull back on joystick.
For Body-Suplex move joystick right.
For the Atomic Drop move joysticl left.
 
HEAVY HO WITH A LIFT
You've managed to take your opponent from a headlock to a lift. Not bad. 
Now that he's up in the air, why not let him down hard-with one of those 
high scoring moves.
For a Pile Driver push joystick forward.
For a Body Slam pull back.
For a Left Airplane Spin, move joystick left.
For a Right Airplane Spin, move joystick right.

COMING IN FOR A LANDING FROM AN AIRPLANE SPIN
If you got in a few dizzying airplane spins after the lift, then your opponent 
will be more than ready to leave the unfriendly skies. Two destinations 
will make this trip one he'll never forget - the pile driver or the throw.
Throwing your opponent intp the crowd is a little like feeding him to the 
lions. But it won't be easy. You've got to maneuver your opponent toward the 
middle of ther ropes on either side of the 2 front sides of the ring.
Then let 'er rip. And listen to the crowd go wild! After completing an 
Airplane Spin press the fire button. To throw your opponent, push forward. 
To deliver a shuddering Body Slam pull the joystick back.

GETTING BACK INTO THE RING
To get back into the ring if you have been thrown out, move the joystick in any 
direction to walk over to either side turnbuckle and climb back in. 

You can also take to the air yourself and smash your opponent with a turnbuckle 
punch or kick. To get up on the turnbuckle, maneuver close to any one of the side 
corners, face the turnbuckle, and press the fire button. There are 2 way down:
Turnbuckle Punch, push joystick forward.
Turnbuckle Kick, pull back on stick.

DELIVERING THE FINAL BLOW
Your opponent is down and the crowd is on it's feet. 2 moves can keep him down. Press 
and hold the fire button.
For a Leg Drop push joystick up.
For a Pin pull joystick back.

FIGHTING BACK
There are 2 ways to avoid a headlock. Tp punch your way out of a headlock 
push the joystick forward.
Pull back to kick your way out.

CUSTOM MOVES
Every wrestler has got one. His own personal move, guranteed to bring his opponent to the 
mat. Each wrestler makes his own special move in the same way. If your strength is very high and 
your opponent's is very low, an attempted headlock will result in your wrestler's custom 
move. If you can pull it off it will always bring your opponent to the mat, 
and it earns big points.

GETTING BACK ON YOUR FEET AGAIN
Sooner or later it happens to the best of 'em - you find yourself staring face down 
at the mat. A count of three is all that's between you and humiliating defeat. What do 
you do? If your strength has slipped too low, there may be no way out but through 
the back door of the coliseum. But if you've got enough strength, you may be able to 
fight your way back up by pushing the joystick forward.
Press the [RUN/STOP] and [RESTORE] keys at any time during play to begin again.
