You finish about 20+ matchs and become the WWE champion and the games ends . But quite a good game. The storyline is kind of short though.

If you want to walk left, just swipe left and hold your thumb down and your character will walk left and keep walking left until you move your thumb another direction (in which case he'll walk that direction,) or lift you thumb (in which case he'll stop.) That said, this game is extremely limited. Every wrestler has the exact same very basic moveset with the exception of their finisher. Faces look terrible. The career mode has very little story (unlike TNA's wrestling game,) and the different modes all play almost exactly the same. While the controls do work well, there's very little strategy to the gameplay -- it doesn't really matter what moves you do or where you are in the ring. The reversal system is pretty well done, but the game doesn't have anywhere near the grappling depth of an old N64 wrestling game (which I'm sure the iphone could run.) While I've had some fun with this game, there's no reason why it should be so basic or stripped down, and there's no reason why every wrestler should have the exact same moves. It's not a bad game, and I hope it does well to encourage THQ to continue making games for the iphone, but if they want to keep my business, the next one will have to have a lot more to it (more moves, tag matches, more strategic gameplay, etc.) the swipe to move controls are more a 'anywhere direction pad' and they work really well.
