About this game

Champion Wrestler is a wrestling-focused fighting game in which players choose from eight fighters and compete to become champion. Matches use punches, kicks, and throws to force opponents into submission.

The action is presented from an elevated side view that shows the entire ring. Leaving the ring starts a short countdown; failing to return before time expires ends the match.
