Dates Written: November 20th, 2003

I dedicate this to my brother Michael.  You really did like this game as I
did.  It just took me a lot longer to realize how cool this game really is.
Thanks for your patience, the help, and for being a good dude most of the
time.

Also, for Cougar.  I miss you, and I hope you are living it up in the
afterlife as you did in this world.  You will always be in my memories, and
you will never be forgotten.

Also, In memory of Howler and Koonce.  You two never had a good start in
your lives, but you had a good time when you spent your time at my house.
It was oh so unfortunate that you both had your already tragic lives cut
short, but I can only hope that I helped make your life a more enjoyable
experience.  You too will be missed, but not forgotten.

1) "Hello! ....And welcome to the Tecmo World Wrestling extravaganza.  I'm
  your announcer Tom Talker coming to you live from the magnificent Tecmo
  Coliseum.  The Mega-Event is about to begin where the TWW Title Crown is
  on the line.  Who will win and become the new champion of Tecmo World
  Wrestling?  Just think, you could be sitting on top of the world wearing
  the TWW Champion Belt!  Go for it!"

  These are the words Tom Talker greets you with.  This is your mission,
  your goal, your DESIRE.  To be the absolute best that there is, and to
  hoard this fact over all the others who would be crowned champion as
  well.  So go fight through the other nine competitors to become
  champion, but be wary because this is wrestling, and things do not always
  occur as they would in real life...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------Match Rules---------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) This section will list the rules of the match that should be followed, or
  you might end up disqualified.


a) To win, you must pin your opponent for a three count or they must be
  disqualified (see the following Match Rules for disqualifying actions).

b) Each match lasts for a maximum of seven minutes.  If no winner is decided
  upon within the time limit, the match is called a draw, with no winner
  being awarded.

c) If a wrestler is outside of the ring for a twenty count, they will be
  disqualified.

d) If both wrestlers are outside of the ring for a twenty count, the result
  of the match is a draw, with no winner being awarded.

e) If a wrestler is on the tope rope for five seconds, they will be
  disqualified.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------Muscle Training-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) This section will explain what this is, what effect it has, and the
  various exercises you can perform.


                o---------------------------------------o
                | What Muscle Training Is & It's Effect |
                o---------------------------------------o

This allows your attacks to do more damage.  You can increase your attack
power by a total of seven times your beginning power level.  How this is
achieved will be explained further down this section.


                  o------------------------------------o
                  | Exercise To Perform & How To Do So |
                  o------------------------------------o

You get your choice of doing Squats, Push-Ups, or Sit-Ups (they are all have
the same effect on your strength, so do not fret over which one to pick).
Once you enter your training session, get ready for some Button mashing
mayhem!  Press the A Button as fast as you can to train your muscles.  The
meter to measure your progress is located on the top of the screen, and
looks like the following:

   +---------------------------------------------------------------+
   |                                                               |
   |          POWER     O   O   O   O   O   O   O                  |
   |                                                        +--+   |
   |          PUSH   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   TIME |10|   |
   |                                                        +--+   |
   |                                                               |
   +---------------------------------------------------------------+

Power gets filled up one circle at a time, as you do one full Push meter.
It helps you to have a Turbo Controller, but barring that, a good manual
round will win you a couple circles of power.

Every time you lose, you lose one circle of power, but you have the option
of training some more, so you can win it back, and then add onto your
already trained muscles for even more power!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------Strategies----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) This section will list some strategies to keep in mind while you quest
  towards the Tecmo World Wrestling Title Belt!


a) Try to wear your opponent down with submissions when they are down on the
  mat.  This will make your efforts to get them hurt that much faster and
  it comes with minimal risk of being counterattacked than with the higher
  risk moves.

b) Try to use a move that is easy to pull off like a Piledriver.  You can
  use this one anywhere in the ring (as opposed to the Back Brain Buster),
  and it does a fair amount of damage.

c) If an opponent is giving you lots of trouble, try to get them counted out
  on the outside of the ring.  Grapple with them, and knock them down at
  about a 17 count to get the win (a little underhanded, but a win is a
  win).  Just be careful that they do not get you counted out instead!

d) If you struggle with your opponents, a good strategy at the start is to
  purposely lose at the beginning so you can raise your POWER through
  Muscle Training.  You can fill yourself up so you can cruise through your
  opposition.  Thgis is dependent upon ebing able to gain a lot in muscle
  training, as you do drop some muscle power as a penalty for losing a
  match.

e) After you beat the last opponent, you will receive your Belt, but you are
  in for one more match with a mystery opponent...

  This is easily the best NES wrestling game around.  Good graphics, wide
  array of moves (most with their proper names), and interesting looking
  characters make this a fun romp.  I hope you enjoy the game as much as I
  do, and remember that the specialty moves are a lot of fun to use, but
  some characters have far more useful and powerful moves than others.
