It is no longer available for download on the iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.

## Gameplay

Rob Van Dam wrestles against Kurt Angle. The buttons on the bottom right of screen represent what actions can currently be performed, while the virtual gamepad on the bottom left can control movement.

The game made use of the touch screen of iOS and Android devices by providing a virtual control pad for movement and three buttons for grapples, attacks and other in-ring actions. The actions that were available to the player were determined by the current in-ring situation - for example, pressing the attack button near a downed wrestler resulted in a stomp to the opponent's closest body part.[1] The game also featured an option that allowed players to create an original wrestler.[2]

Players could enter career mode to contend for one of three TNA titles: the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, the TNA X Division Championship or the TNA World Tag Team Championship. Match types included cage matches and submission matches.[3]
