I have never played a wrestling game, but I've been watching quite a bit lately so I figured I'd take the dive. All the game did on the first match was explain the mini games. After that I'm left on my own with the ability to look at the basic controls, which don't help me against just normal level cpu characters who drag my body around the mat, switch and adjust me for different moves, and climb/jump off the ropes.

All I've come to learn about this game is from the Quick Look, but it seems like a huge misstep in attracting a new audience when there's no basic in-game instruction on how to play...

Yeah, none that I can find. Which is weird cause a lot of the earlier games had a tutorial mode.
