Muscle training
When you start your first match or lose a match, the Muscle Training screen
will appear.
If you want to "beef up", press the upper or lower arrow of the control cross
to move the cursor to "YES". Then press the START Button. A different screen
will appear where you select the kind of work-out you want to do. Press the
upper or lower arrow of the control cross to select. Then press the START
Button. Beef up those muscles! When the whistle blows, press the A Button over
and over as fast as you can. This will build up your power on the PUSH meter.
Once the PUSH meter reaches "full", a section of the POWER meter will light
up. As the POWER meter increases, so does the talent and skill of the
wrestler.
* CAUTION.... When the NES machine is turned off, the POWER meter
automatically resets to zero.

Displays
* Physical Strength Meter
When the wrestler's Physical Strength Meter is around full capacity, he is
able to spring back and recover quickly. This meter regains strength whenever
you make a successful move with a technique.
* Time Display
The Time Display normally shows the time remaining in the match. When there is
an illegal move, the clock displays the penalty count of five seconds. When a
wrestler is outside the ring, the count-out time of 20 seconds is displayed.

Match rules
- Each match is seven minutes. A match will be considered a "draw" when it is
not completed within this time limit or when both wrestlers are caught outside
the ring after a count-out.
- If a wrestler is caught on top of the ropes by a five-count, it will be
considered a loss by disqualification.
- If a wrestler is caught outside the ring by a 20-count, it will be
considered a loss by disqualification.

"DING, DING!"
- Selecting Your Wrestlers
Use the Control cross to move the star mark and select the wrestlers of your
choice. Press the START Button to save. When you have chosen your wrestler,
enter the name the same way as in ONE PLAYER mode.
- Biometer
This is the meter under the Time Display. Red indicates PLAYER ONE and blue
indicates PLAYER TWO. The perfect time to attack is when the color of the
Biometer favors your wrestler. Your defenses will also be at their best.
