(I posted this same message on two other nets today.. my apologies if you've seen this message multiple times)

I'm trying to track down an old wrestling themed BBS door game. The BBS I used to play it on was a WWIV board, so it might have been a WWIV chain, but not necessarily.

I know it's not any of the easy-to-find doors like Big League Wrestling, World League Wrestling, Supper Rassle, or GCWF. The one I'm looking for is mostly text-based, giving a different list of moves each round. I used to think it was funny to repeatedly press P, to (P)unch my opponent, (P)ick them up, and (P)ile drive them over and over again. My buddy and I used to get into grudge matches all the time and exchange long-winded in-game monologues at each other. Tons of fun.

I want to say it was named something like Mat Mania, but I'm not 100% sure. When I google that title, an arcade game is what comes up, not a door.

If this rings a bell to anyone, please let me know. I'd love to get it running on my board.

This game has been identified and found, thanks to Tom Swartz of Danger Bay BBS.

The game is indeed called Mat Mania, and it is indeed a WWIV chain, so it requires either WWIV or a BBS system capable of reading chain.txt as well as interpreting heart color codes. Got it running on my SBBS board if anyone wants to try it, and it's also in my board's file menu for download.
