Order by the year each wrestler made their WWWF, WWF or WWE main-roster debut. You place all 40 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Here each card is a wrestler, with a nickname or a short line about them under the name, and the order is the year they debuted on the WWWF, WWF or WWE main roster. The first arrival is on the line already, year in plain sight. For every new name, choose a slot among those placed so far. When you're right, the debut year shows up. When you're wrong, the wrestler still goes where they belong, and you're one of three lives closer to the end.
The roster covers the larger-than-life heroes of the early national shows, the edgier stars who followed, and the women and imports of recent years. Main-roster debut is the key phrase: a lot of these names wrestled for years elsewhere, in rival promotions, in Japan or in developmental, before they arrived. Stars who made their name in another company are the ones most likely to land later than you expect.
