What Is EWF RIPPED?
EWF RIPPED is a single-player wrestling trading card game built for collectors, strategists, and wrestling fans who want more than just a battle simulator. You are the promoter of your own wrestling promotion. You pull cards, build a roster, book matches, manage injuries, chase championships, and grow your business from a bingo hall operation into a world-class empire — all while a pair of broadcast commentators call every moment and an AI-powered General Manager reacts to everything you do.
This is not a simple card game. It is a full GM simulation layered on top of a collector's game layered on top of a live action card battler, all running in a single HTML file. No install required. Launch and play.
(WARNING: Clearing cookies may delete game data! A .exe is coming soon.)
The Core Loop
Pull cards from four box tiers — Standard, Holo, Elite, and Legendary. Each card is a real wrestler with their own win rate, stamina, alignment (Face or Heel), career record, streak, and battle stats. Send them into matches. Win to build their legacy. Earn cash. Reinvest in better packs. Chase the rarest pulls. Repeat — and watch the game keep throwing new things at you.
Every 30 ticks the season ends with a full AI Commissioner's address. Every 5 seasons a new 3-chapter storyline arc drops. The World Boss waits with a health bar you chip away at one win at a time. The market shifts every 5 minutes. Invasions happen. Auctions open. Sponsor contracts appear. The game is never idle.

BATTLE SYSTEM
Every manual match runs through a full broadcast sequence:
Match Intro Screen — a cinematic 1.8-second entrance tailored to your wrestler's state. Streak? Fire intro. Champion? Gold shimmer. Mythic card? Full walkout-level reveal. PPV? The biggest entrance in the game.
Dual commentary — I.R (serious, analytical) and Hank (chaotic, occasionally mentions his ex-wife Linda) call the match live with 200+ contextual lines covering PPV matches, streaks, radioactive cards, hardcore nights, championship moments, and more.
Live match stats panel — real-time win probability bar, stamina pips for both wrestlers, active buff tags, alignment badge, d20 effects reference.
Dramatic D20 reveal — the dice roll is a slot-machine style animation that decelerates before landing. Natural 20 triggers a critical win with gold flash and double shake. Nat 1 is a catastrophic botch.
AI GM post-match recap — powered by Claude. Every match gets a unique 2-sentence broadcast recap written by AI using the actual match context. Falls back to static lines offline.
Match types:
Singles Match
PPV Title Match ($100 · unlocks champion status)
Hardcore Night (Gimmick Mode — +15% win rate, triple stamina drain)
Legends Night (retired Hall of Famers can compete again)
3v3 Faction War (pick 3 wrestlers, synergy bonuses apply)
Ironman Gauntlet (5 wave survival mode — $25 entry, $1,000 prize)
TV Ratings War (your show vs. a rival network — cash on the line)
Invasion Defense (rival promoters invade without warning)
Signature moves — every wrestler has a named finisher. d20 rolls of 15+ trigger the move with a dramatic banner animation.
AI-POWERED SYSTEMS
EWF RIPPED uses Claude AI to make the game feel alive in ways static logic never could:
AI GM Post-Match Recap — unique written broadcast commentary after every manual match, referencing the wrestler, the roll, the streak, the stakes.
Pre-Match Scouting Report — before every PPV Title Match, I.R delivers a full analytical breakdown of the matchup using real stats, modifiers, and win odds. The report typewriters in. The opponent you read about is the exact opponent you fight.
Season Awards Ceremony — end of every season, the EWF Commissioner delivers a personalised address referencing your real roster, MVP, record, injuries, boss HP, and treasury. Built from your actual season data.
Boss Defeat Speech — when the World Boss falls, they give a first-person villain concession speech naming your champion, citing your record, and introducing the next challenger by name.
3-Chapter Storyline Arcs — every 5 seasons, Claude generates a complete narrative arc using your actual top wrestlers. Chapter 1 sets up the conflict. Chapter 2 escalates. Chapter 3 builds to a blowoff. You make decisions each chapter that affect the final payout — honour the booking for maximum reward, or break kayfabe for a smaller cut.

WHY PLAY?
If you like trading card games — this is the deepest single-player TCG experience you'll find for free. Card rarity tiers, grading, relics, autos, serials, variants, cloning, forging — the collector systems alone are hours of content.
If you like wrestling — every system is built around wrestling logic. Alignments matter. Streaks matter. Championship reigns matter. Invasions, Faction Wars, Loser Leaves Town, Hardcore Night — the booking decisions feel real.
If you like incremental / idle games — the passive income loop, Prestige system, and Battle Pass create a satisfying long-term progression that rewards coming back every session.
If you like AI-driven games — EWF RIPPED uses Claude AI for match recaps, scouting reports, season speeches, boss defeat monologues, and full storyline arcs. Every session tells a story that's actually about your promotion and your wrestlers.
