Somebody in the console gaming market needs to take a look at ROL: NEW and get some pointers. Although this is basically one month in the life of a wrestler, it is definitely worth the 3 bucks for it.
It basically is a choose your own adventure book for wrestling. You create your own wrestler using the guidelines in the core book and start running the game. Depending on your alignment you are taken through a circuit. You are also given choices at certain story points which allow you to branch off the main idea. You want to turn heel after being a face? You've got your chance. Trying to walk the face side and regain respect? You can do that too.
The only issues with this item is that sometimes you can see that the designer might have run out of ideas for a particular thread. Also, note that since this is a continuous story for several issues, your actions here will manifest later in other books which I highly recommend picking it up.
There are a couple of editing issues (typos) and confusion about where to go next, but the book does what it sets out to do and is a good addition to the Squared Circle Library.
