That makes sense. I almost entirely forgot there is more than one end state to RtW. Anyway, I did a no loss play-through to find out how it is supposed to go, and I found that you need to win the main event match at Wrestlemania for the WWF title to reach the credits. If you are the WWF champion after the Royal Rumble you will see a cut-scene where Vince McMahon strips you of the belt. The only way you can secure a spot in the main event to win the title back is if you also won the Royal Rumble.

Also thanks so much for the response.

I was thinking this would be a good category to add. Speed running what could be considered the games main season/campaign mode could make for some interesting full game runs.

I've even thought of some categories, sub-categories and rule ideas.

Any% -RTA timing starts when player hits start on the stats screen before RtW begins. -Winning matches by count out is allowed -Purposefully losing matches by count out is not allowed -You may lose matches (but not by count out) -You may purposefully lose the Royal Rumble -All other rules considered, get through a year in Road to Wrestlemania mode as fast as possible

No Count Out: -RTA timing starts when player hits start on the stats screen before RtW begins. -No count outs -You may lose matches (but not by count out). -You may purposefully lose the Royal Rumble -All other rules considered, get through a year in Road to Wrestlemania mode as fast as possible

100% -RTA timing starts when player hits start on the stats screen before RtW begins. -No count outs -Win every match. End the game with a 100% win percentage in both single and tag matches. -This includes winning the Royal Rumble. -Win every championship belt before the end of the run. -All other rules considered, get through a year in Road to Wrestlemania mode as fast as possible

Additional Sub-Categories in Any% and 100%: Pin only: Win each match by pin (except the Royal Rumble) Submission only: Win each match by submission (except the Royal Rumble) TKO only: Win each match by TKO (eexcept Royal Rumble)

In the case of doing an Any% run for any of the above sub-categories, the player can still purposefully lose the Royal Rumble so long as all other matches are won using the single technique that the sub-category allows.
