Do you prefer the flash and glitz of sports entertainment? The no-nonsense hard hitting strong style? The blood and guts of hardcore wrestling? The high-flying exclusive tradition of lucha libre?

They can ALSO spend money in an attempt to screw things up for their competitors! Mess with their bookings! Damage their ring! Hurt their advertising, and more! Be careful, though... Word tends to get around when someone is being a scumbag! Put together all of these things and do your best to become the top promotion in the world!
