Welcome to World Wide Wrestling: Second Edition!This award-winning game of professional wrestling action enables you tocreate your own professional wrestling franchisethrough play, showcasing satisfying and surprising storylines. Its aboutfeuds, championships, betrayal, and righteous victory.Its about the clash of good and evil on the grandest stage. Its about whether youve got what it takes. And, in the end, its about what the audience thinks of your efforts.

InWorld Wide Wrestling, Creative (the GM role) sets up the show, orders the card and books the matches ahead of time. The players choosearchetypical pro wrestling Gimmicks, like the Monster, the Veteran, the Luchador, and so on as the base for their character. Wrestlers play through what Creative has planned, but they have the ability and autonomy to pursue their own feuds, set up their own matches and swerve Creatives booking. Creatives job is to make it look likethat was the plan all along. Characters are the wrestler as a professional; this means that you play out both their on-screen costumed persona, and their backstage efforts to maintain and progress their careers (and the ways the two effect each other).

Throughplay focused equally on action in the squared circle and events behind the scenes, you will discover who has what it takes to become a wrestling legend.

World Wide WrestlingisPowered by the Apocalypse.A simple 2d6+stat modifier system resolves the wrestlers iconic actions, likeWorking the Audience, Cutting a Promo and in-ring Wrestling.Play is mostly conversation, punctuated by occasional rolls and resolutions of the outcomes. The Gimmicks are broad templates customized by the player to suit their wrestling character, and characters advance over time by working matches with their biggest rivals, getting over with the audience and gaining Championships. Advancement comes in the form of raising stats, gaining valets or manager, gaining custom Moves and manouvers, changing Gimmick to evolve the character over time, and more.
