being knocked onto the floor, or how quickly he can throw off someone who
is pinning him. Your strength is depleted when you are hit or kicked, or
when you are thrown to the ground.                   
                 
As you play the game, two different icons will appear on the screen,
indicating what action you should take.

                           the ground. Pressing the fire button rapidly
                           will make your wrestler get to his feet, but if
                           your wrestler is weak, it may take a few while.

                           with your opponent. Moving the joystick rapidly
                           from side to side will build up your grapple
                           strength. This is shown by a growing bar at the
                           side of grapple icon. The first wrestler to make
                           their bar reach maximum height wins the grapple.
                           The winner of the grapple then executes his
