Pro Wrestling Sim

One of the newest booking sims on the market, Pro Wrestling Sim has perhaps the most modern looking UI and a growing player base and modding community. Still in early access, the game's developer has been tirelessly active while working on the game and providing regular updates and new features. Recommended by a number of players as a balanced step between the simplicity of EWR and the complexity of the Total Extreme Wrestling series.
