<Reversals:>
  All reversals are performed by pressing Block while the opponent is executing 
a maneuver. Some moves can only be reversed if your character has the reversal 
in his move list. Moves marked with a ^caret^ can be reversed by any character.

<Rising Attacks:>
Drop Toe Hold
Shove
Rake to the eyes
Kip-up + Headbutt
European Uppercut
Arm Drag
  These are attacks which will be automatically executed if the Opponent is too 
close as your wrestler is recovering from a knockdown, preventing "Cheese" by 
timing grapples to execute as the wrestler is standing up defenseless. The 
actual move seems to be selected at random, but the Shove is the most common.

<Foreign Objects:>
Ring Bell - 3 uses
2X4 (Hoooooooo!!) - 3 uses
Camcorder - 2 uses
Folding Chair (open or closed) - 2 uses
TV Monitor - 1 use

(Standing) Pick up/put down foreign object - TU
(Standing) Use foreign object - P/K

All weapons add a +2 damage bonus and cause an automatic stun; they are considered unblockable hits. If you are struck while attempting to pick up a weapon, you will drop it. You cannot Run or enter/exit the ring while carrying the Folding Chair or TV Monitor, and cannot climb the turnbuckle with any weapon. As your weapons supply diminishes, the crowd will throw more into and around the ring.

Damage Multipliers[edit]

Action Bonus
Opponent stunned +1
Opponent on mat +1
Behind Opponent +1
Player on turnbuckle +1
Player on top of cage +2
Crowd chanting for Player +1
Taunt/Pose +1

Normal damage is x1, with bonuses given for the situations covered in the table to the side.

Note that these are cumulative, so from the top of the cage on a stunned opponent (standing) would be [1(Base damage)+2+1] = x4 damage. So far the most I've seen is x6 (top of cage, opponent stunned on mat, crowd chanting).

The use of Taunt/Pose gives the +1 to the next move by either player unless Opp. is stunned.

Character Moves[edit]

Note: Moves marked with 1 asterisk (*) are normal holds which drain the 'Hold' meter, while moves with 2 asterisks (**) are submission holds which fill up the 'Pain' meter. Moves marked with the 'at' symbol (@) are signature finishing moves which can only be executed when the opponent's health meter is in the red. Moves which are preceded by a plus sign (+) end in a pinfall. Note: All finishers automatically stun the Opponent, except for Shamrock's Ankle Lock Submission. Also note that the Trainer's Running Powerslam stuns but does not pin the Opponent when executed from the Standing position, unlike the British Bulldog's. When used from the Tie-up, it pins normally.
