As another non-fan of wrestling, I was able to contextualize the game by thinking about it as a comic book story:

” It is a game about telling the story of storytellers whose only tool is violence. You play a character who plays a character, with this super-weird vagueness about the reality/contrivance of the feuds being played out.” 

That could just as easily be used to describe comic book characters and storylines, and the “everything is settled in the ring” idea matches one to one with nearly all of my experiences playing Champions as a teen. 

Will Peter Parker finally ask Mary Jane out? Who knows! The Rhino just literally knocked over a bank and called Spider-man out, so it’s time to throw down!
