Description

The place? Madison Square Garden. The time? A few hours before Wrestle-Mageddon XXV, the biggest pay-per-view event run by the American Wrestling Exhibition, the most biggest pro wrestling promotion in North America. Everything was going according to plan. But then...

Someone has gotten the owner of the promotion arrested. Someone else has secretly signed a deal to jump ship to the rival promotion, the Canadian Wrestling Confederation. And yet someone else has leaked the results for tonight's matches on social media.

Now, with the fate of the company, and their careers on the line, the wrestlers of the AWE have to solve these mysteries, while dealing with personal rivalries, and larger than life personalities.

Wrestle-Mageddon is a game about office politics, only your job is to body slam people or talk smack in the ring. It's about the legacies we leave behind, and the price we pay for success. It's also about people arguing about their contracts while wearing outrageous outfits. The game is entirely set back stage, focusing on the drama of the wrestlers trying to prepare for the evening's big event. While it's going to cover serious issues, such as injury, retirement, and drug addiction, it is still a game about pro wrestlers and thus will have more than a little humor involved.

If it arises, combat is handled through dramatic pose-offs. No actual physical violence will occur.

*No knowledge of pro wrestling is required to play the game. But knowing about pro wrestling won't hurt either.*
