The game later received high financial support from the Extreme Champion Wrestling, World Champion Federation, and World Champion Wrestling.

Wrestlers were arranged in a pyramid of fame and money. This was based precisely on the ability of the athlete and talent. The juniors and amateurs included young performers and journeymen who joined the carnival for fame and to get fans. Wrestlers were called shooters for their ability to shoot and battle real competitions. These professional wrestlers were more competitive, successful, and not so much common to people.
