How it begins
The game starts with a warning that it contains criminal and violent acts.
You play a retired unpopular wrestler known as The Veteran who is now forced to live rough on the streets.
One day, a new wrestler called The Youth turns up. The Youth is the son of The Star, a wrestler responsible for much humiliation in the ring. Seeing your condition, the Youth and gives you the cold shoulder. Shortly afterwards, a flyer goes by advertising a wrestling tournament coming up very soon.
You decide to enter the tournament and find a way to regain your title, no matter the cost. Unfortunately, you're out of shape and have no uniform. Somehow, you have to convince The Promoter you're worthy of a place. So begins a quest to eliminate your opponents before they even reach the ring.
