Never played any of the Fire Pro games before - how much does the game capture the "drama" of professional wrestling?

Elaborating on the question - is it a grappling-based fighting game like most wrestling games are, or are there things like: significant value to playing to the crowd; gameplay reward for working as a face or heel; executing well-timed offense to mount a comeback as opposed to having to deplete a health bar; etc. etc.?

Button mashing won't work in a Fire Pro game. You have to start with the simple moves and wear down your opponent. No crowed taunting needed.

Fire Pro is very much about the build of the match. You're rewarded for being able to plan out a strategy, going from smaller damage moves to larger damage moves. If you try to use a big move early, you'll likely be reversed. Fire Pro also relies on "Spirit," but only for those wrestlers who are setup to work that way. If you're playing as a wrestler with a lot of fighting spirit, basically you'll likely take a lot of damage early on, but be able to hold your own later in the match.

There's no real reward to working a match in the sense you're probably thinking of. But there are measures in place to make sure that matches don't just dive into using the same moves over and over again. For example, if you try to strike your opponent with a punch or kick, and you miss... each time you miss, you'll lose more stamina, therefore getting tired quicker. There's actually a button to "breathe," so you might need to find a time to throw your opponent outside and catch a quick breath. This also goes for running, and running will drain you even quicker.

There are no visible health or stamina bars, so the game requires you to really keep track in your mind of how much damage you've taken and how much you've dealt out. The grappling is all timing-based, so the only times you'll be mashing buttons is in a submission, test of strength, or trying to kick out of a pin.

I was already going to purchase this. But now that they have confirmed The Rainmaker being in the game, I'm in. XD
