The only version. Still missing info on how to switch between partners in
a 3-on-3 tag match, and the victory screen for the Tag Team Championship...

I) Game Basics
1-on-1
The basic wrestling match. One or two players can compete.
Tag Team
A standard 2-on-2 tag team match. 2 players can compete against
each other or team up against the computer.
Triple Tag Team
A 3-on-3 tag team match. A 2-player match in this mode is Vs. only. Only one
of your partners will be on the ring apron at a time; to select which one is
current, press ???.
Royal Rumble
You must fight the other 11 superstars in an over-the-top-rope elimination
match. Six wrestlers will be in the ring at a time, and when a wrestler is
eliminated, a new one will enter the ring until all 12 are accounted for.
Opponents can be thrown out by winning the Tie-up with the 'A' button near
the ropes or by using a Hiptoss against a running opponent near the ropes.
Match Options:
One Fall - Referee, 10-count outside ring, Choke/Rake/Chair are illegal
Brawl - No Referee, no count-out, all moves are legal
Tournament (1-player only) -
1-on-1: The selected wrestler runs the gauntlet of the other 11 for the
World Heavyweight Title.
2-on-2: The team must face each other team (selected at random) twice to
win the Tag Team Title.
The 1P version of each basic mode and 1P or 2P Rumbles also have a
difficulty selection, from 1 (easiest) to 10 (hardest). The most noticable
effect of the higher difficulty is the speed with which the computer can
attack from the Tie-up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
III) Tie-up Moves
Pressing B+C (or Y) will cause the wrestlers to grapple with each other in
a standard collar-and-elbow tie-up position. An oval-shaped meter will then
appear above the wrestlers. The half to the left represents Player 1 and
the half to the right is Player 2. Rapidly pressing any button or buttons
will fill up the meter towards that player's side. When the meter reaches a
certain point, the following moves will executed with the buttons indicated.
Note that the computer is nearly unbeatable from the grapple, even as low as
difficulty 3.
Irish Whip to ropes - A
Hiptoss out of ring - A (near the ropes)
Atomic Drop - A+C
Backbreaker - A+B
Bodyslam - B
Headbutt - C

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
V) Strategy Tips/"Endings"
To perform illegal moves in a regular match, punch or run into the Referee
several times to knock him out. Also, illegal moves are legal as long as you
are on the floor.
The simplest method for victory in this game is to forget about the Tie-up.
At difficulty 4 and above, it's almost impossible to beat the computer in a
Tie-up, even with a turbo controller. Stick with this pattern: 3 punches,
which will knock the opponent down, then immediately take 1 step back and
execute a running elbow drop and several stomps/knee drops. Then, repeat
the process until you can do your finishing move. It even works on Level 10.
(Kinda tricky in the Rumble, tho.)
In the Rumble (nice segue :P), a two player team can clean up. Position one
player at each end of the ring. As soon as a new computer opponent enters,
have one player Tie-up and whip them to the other side, where #2 hiptosses
them right back out. If you can catch the first 3 or 4 early, the ring won't
be nearly as crowded.
Countouts are another way to beat the computer. Throw the opponent out of
the ring and slap him around. When you knock him down, quickly enter and
exit the ring to reset your count. Get him stunned when his count reaches
8-9, then climb back in the ring.
Ending 1: Beating the last match in a 1-on-1 tournament makes Mean Gene get
into the ring carrying the title belt. You are then shown a simulated
cover of the WWF magazine with your wrestler on the front and the headline
"New World's Champion". Zippa-dee-doo-dah, ho-hum.
Ending 2: Winning the Tag Team tournament ????
Ending 3: After the last opponent is thrown out of the Royal Rumble, you
will see a screen showing a wrestler's name, the time he entered the match,
who he was eliminated by (and @ what time) and who he eliminated (& times).
Press Left or Right to scroll thru each wrestler. The winner will also have
the words "Rumble Champion" under their name.
