If any competitor is forced out of the ring, a twenty second clock is started. This clock will reset once both wrestlers are back in the ring. Should any competitor remain out of the ring long enough for the clock to reach twenty, then the match is declared void, and your challenge for the WrestleMania Belt is over. GAME RULES Each wrestler has a strength indicator on either side of the screen. This strength level will determine how quickly the wrestler can recover from being knocked on the floor, or how quickly he can throw off someone who is pinning him. Your strength is deplented when you are hit or kicked, or when you are thrown to the ground. As you can play the game, two different icons will appear on screen, indicating what action you should take. FIRE BUTTON ICON: This icon will appear when your wrestler is on the ground. Pressing the fire button rapidly will make your wrestler get to his feet, but if your wrestler is weak this may take a few seconds. JOYSTICK ICON: This icon will appear when you are grappling with your opponent. Moving the joystick rapidly from side to side will build up your grapple strength. This is shown by a growing bar at the side of the grapple icon. The first wrestler to make their bar reach maximum heigth wins the grapple. The winner of the grapple then executes his special move on the other wrestler.
