Championship Wrestling lets you alone or you and up to seven friends battle it out for the most coveted wrestling prize of all: the World Wrestling Belt. After each player selects a wrestler, the computer will organize a single elimination tournament, pairing the wrestlers off in a series of one-on-one brawls to the finish. There are eight wrestlers to choose from, each of them capable of more than 25 wrestling moves. In addition to the standard wrestling moves, each wrestler is endowed with a custom move. The more complicated your moves during a match, the higher your score will be.
The wrestlers in this game are a diverse bunch. K.C. Colossus is a bald bruiser with a high degree of both strength and agility; his special move is the Trash Compactor, in which he trashes his opponents' faces with his elbow. Zantoklaw lurks behind a hooded mask. His iron will, steely grip and killer instinct makes him a formidable opponent, not to mention his dangerous claw-like grip (called the Klaw Hammer). Six other wrestlers are included: Howling Manslayer, The Berserker, Zeke Weasel, Prince Vicious, Colonel Rooski, and Purple Hays.
