Some background about the game

My brother, Aaron, and my best friend Jason loved watching wrestling as kids in the 80's.   We also happened to stumble across a movie "Grunt - The Wrestling Movie" which provided some great lines.  By the way - we have no affiliation with the movie, other than fond memories and appreciation.

Bring creative (and playing a lot of first edition dungeons and dragons) we developed a set of rules for a pencil and paper wrestling game that we played with dice. 

I swear sometime the wrestlers we made up, as well as the real ones,  provided better story lines than what was on television at the time - although none of us came close to coming up with "The Shockmaster" introduction.  Lol.

We thought the randomness of things added a lot to the charm and provide some truly memorable matches.

Anyways, after recently retiring, I decided I would take trying to turn it into a computerized version. 

I hope you get hours off entertainment from this game.  I can picture my brother looking down and watching these "matches" with a huge smile on his face. 

Thank you!
