Tokyo is the capital of Japanese pro wrestling, called Puroresu. You can visit Korakuen Hall, a venue that hosts dozens of wrestling shows every month. Mexico City is the heart of Lucha Libre, anchored by the historic Arena México and the promotion CMLL.

In the United States, Orlando houses the WWE Performance Center and television soundstages where trainees work year-round. Philadelphia is famous for its vocal fans and the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia. You can also play in London near York Hall in Bethnal Green, or in Calgary, famous for the Hart family training gym.

Mateo, 21, inherits a family wrestling mask in Mexico City. He sets a life goal to earn a spot on the Friday night card at Arena México. He edits his cast to add a strict uncle who also works as a veteran wrestler.

On Tuesday, Mateo uses place search to find a local gym and walks there to train. His uncle texts him to complain about his footwork. Mateo invites two other young wrestlers to a group text, and they plan an outing to a café to talk about their upcoming show.

Your morning in Philadelphia starts with a glance at your daily to-do list. You add two items: work out at a fitness gym and write a heel promo for tonight. You search the 3D map for a real gym, walk your character there, and chat with a training partner.

In the evening, you walk down to the 2300 Arena in South Philadelphia. Buildings show from the outside only, as there are no interiors or fighting mini-games. Instead, you meet your opponent outside and plan the spots of your match in your own words. The day ends with a recap of your moments and changes to your cash and health.

Real pro wrestlers work mostly on nights and weekends. A normal day includes hours of highway driving, an afternoon gym workout, and an early evening call time at the arena. Backstage, performers meet with a match producer, tape their joints, and wait behind the entrance curtain in the Gorilla Position.

In the ring, wrestlers take flat-back bumps onto wood and steel frames and sell the impact for the crowd. In the US, rookies train at private academies or the WWE Performance Center, and some states require an athletic license. In the UK, trainees attend regional schools like Playfight or Hustle in London.

Pro wrestlers spend much of their lives traveling between towns, which makes home life hard. In LifeSim, your partner, friends, and family have their own routines and goals. They keep a journal of past events and remember if you miss a birthday or a promise.

On your days off, you can look for happenings on the map, such as karaoke, a house party, or birthday drinks. You can invite locker room friends on an outing to a park or restaurant. As days pass, your character ages through life stages, and you can transition from an active performer to a backstage mentor.
