GRUNT - The Wrestling Game
Step into the ring and take control! Welcome to GRUNT - The Wrestling Game, the ultimate text-based wrestling simulation! This isn't about fancy graphics; it's about pure, unadulterated, bone-crunching wrestling.
Forge your legacy from the ground up. Create custom wrestlers, from hulking giants to rule-breaking villains, and assign them to powerful stables. Design your own championship belts and even build a unique moveset from a massive library of slams, submissions, and illegal maneuvers.
Will you book a legendary Pay-Per-View card, survive the chaos of a 30-man Royal Rumble, or guide a chosen star through a grueling tournament to capture the gold? The choice is yours, but be warned: in the world of GRUNT, anything can happen. A botched move can lead to a career-ending injury, a heated rivalry can spill outside the ring, and sometimes, the referee just isn't paying attention.
This isn't just a game; it's a sandbox for your wrestling stories. Build your dream roster, book the matches, and watch the chaos unfold!
Run the Show Your Way!
Book Epic Events: Schedule anything from a weekly fight night to a massive Pay-Per-View! Book matches manually to settle a score or let the system randomly generate a card for a night of surprises.
Diverse Match Types: Settle rivalries in classic 1v1 bouts, prove who's the best in a grueling Tournament, or throw your entire roster into the ring for a chaotic Battle Royal or feel the excitement of a Royal Rumble!
Live the Drama: An in-depth simulation engine generates play-by-play commentary, tracks match momentum, and brings every bodyslam and signature move to life with color and sound effects!
The Most Customizable Wrestling Sim EVER!
This is where GRUNT WRESTLING truly shines. If you can dream it, you can create it. Forget pre-set limitations—build your federation from the ground up with unparalleled control.
Create Your Own Federation: Start a brand-new promotion from scratch or launch a predefined roster to get right into the action. Manage multiple federations, each with its unique roster, champions, and history!
Design Your Dream Wrestlers: Manually craft every single wrestler. Define their name, size (normal or a ring-shaking HUGE wrestler), and whether they compete under a mask. Assign them to stables and watch them climb the ranks.
Build-A-Belt: Why settle for default titles? Design, name, and establish the prestige of your very own championship belts! From the World Heavyweight Title to the Intergalactic Hardcore Television Championship, the gold is yours to create.
Referees: If you choose, six different referees will officiate the matches. Each has their own "Personalities" that can affect the outcome of the match. Oh, and sometimes those referees are a little too slow and can be knocked out!
Loaded Moves: Choose a move to load up to deal out some extra damage! But be careful, you could get caught and DQ'd by a sharp-eyed referee.
The Ultimate Move Editor: This is a game-changer! Don't just pick from a list—create your own wrestling moves! Define a move's name, its damage, and a huge array of special properties.
Tweak the Rules of Reality: Dig into the Game Criteria menu and become a true wrestling god. Adjust the injury system, set the health threshold for in-ring death, and even enable a "Jail" or "Death Penalty" system for wrestlers who take things too far!
A Living, Breathing Universe
Your federation evolves with every match. Wrestlers aren't just stats; they are characters with careers, rivalries, and legacies.

Dynamic Rivalries: Wrestlers will form feuds that grow in intensity, adding extra heat and damage bonuses to their matches!
Career-Altering Events: The action has consequences! Wrestlers can suffer injuries that put them on the shelf, force them into retirement, or even cause the death of an opponent. Hey, this isn't "entertainment" - it's the real deal!!!
Track the Legacy: Follow every wrestler's journey with a detailed match history. Celebrate your champions with an in-depth chronological list of title reigns, complete with defense statistics.
