About Career Mode
You begin at the bottom, an untested rookie ranked 20th. As you prove yourself and begin to move up in rank, you can start to show your stuff against better name wrestlers. As you tour around, eventually you'll end up on televised matches.

PPV matches include fan favorites like Hardcore Heaven, Guilty as Charged, Living Dangerously, Heatwave, Anarchy Rulz, and The November 2 Remember.
