Maybe what's supposed to happen is the attacker picks a visible target, then defender choose to either defend it with an asset of [defending attribute] class?
Tactics type looks a bit strange standalone. Wouldn't it make more sense to let these be purchased [Stealthed], but attach them to either originating or target asset like Stealth or Seditionists on action and See more move with them until dismissed, used up or destroyed?

World Wide Wrestling: Second Edition is a game of narrative professional wrestling excitement, action and drama. It scales well from players. One player is Creative, tasked with booking the shows, introducing antagonists and coming up with basic storylines. The other players take on pro wrestling archetypes, called Gimmicks, and play their wrestlers through feuds, partnerships and betrayals.
Everyone at the table is competing for that "top spot," but they're also working together to entertain their viewing audience! This game is accessible to both wrestling fans curious about roleplaying, and experienced roleplayers who want to see what professional wrestling is all about.
Creative the Game Master role comes up with basic storylines and literally books each Episode of play, deciding who's on screen when, who's in what match and, most importantly, who's going to win. The players play out their wrestlers as they participate in these segments, but they have agency to pursue their own agendas and "swerve" what Creative has in mind. Whether a quick squash or an epic full-roster Battle Royal, wrestling matches are exciting affairs that both build character and drive the ongoing storylines.

Where can I find first edition? Can't review the game here since I got it from differen sources, but this is in my top 3 PbtA scale just by reading it. If a 3rd ed will ever come out or even some form of revamped hack , I would only streamline the move selection a bit and grant some One2One support?
Otherwise, this is inane design. This may be an odd question, but if you had more people than a regular group would this game or its various hacks allow for some players to only run one type of playbook or the other? If I had some players more interested in worldbuilding and others that cared less about it, could I stretch the playbooks out to allow for a little more collaboration among more people? Or does that break this series of games? There's rules support for multiple players being part of the same family - it's certainly possible for someone to be in a 'leadership' role and control the family at the zoomed-out level, and the other players mainly focus on the zoomed-in character level.
Print versions have been available from Modiphius and via retail for almost a year. Are there any printer friendly versions of the handout sheets?
