The name of the eight wrestlers in this game are respectively: Miracle Rastan, Matterhorn Deecker, Jimmy Carbon, Black Machine, The Samuray, Rocky Garner, Nitro Bankus and Bloody Cobra Joe. The player can select a wrestler and take on the other seven in the game. The game ends when all opponents are beaten and the player's wrestler becomes the champion.
The player has a life meter, and also a power meter that increases depending on how fast the player pushes the punch button. Some digitized speech. Kind of a cute ending after a match, but this game doesn't really stand out in a crowd.
