Wrestling With Emotions: New Kid on the Block

Dev Update #2: Welcome to Cuddle Town!

Hey Lazerbuds!

We’re so stoked to share our second monthly dev update with you all. This month we’re going behind the scenes, literally, to show you some of the locations you can find in Wrestling With Emotions!

Yr Home


Make yourself at home! From the wrestling memorabilia covering every available surface, to the weights and photographs detailing your own wrestling journey, your home is a chaotic space where your character’s true adoration of wrestling is plain to see.



The Mirror


Who do you want to be?

In your home you’ll find a mirror where you’ll be able to design your rad wrestling babe at the start of the game! As you level up your MEAT, you can revisit the mirror to modify your muscle cutie!



Manny’s Office


There’s no location in Cuddle Town more revered than the office of MC Manny MC Man. As the head of the biggest wrestling promotion in history, Manny’s office isn’t just a huge deal to any rookie, but it’s also a museum exploding with over 50 years of Wrestling With Emotions’ history.



Sweat City


Pump it up! Sweat City is the infamous training ground of WWE legends and this is where you’ll come to level up your GUTS (Grabbies, Uppies, Throwies, Strikes)! Learn some stellar new moves in the ring to show them off in your next big match.


The Cuddle Dome


At the end of every week you’ll find yourself in The Cuddle Dome and also on the TV of every wrestling fan out there. It’s time to show them what you’re made of!


The Locker Room


Deep inside the Cuddle Dome is the Locker Room, where all wrestlers prepare for their matches. This is the perfect opportunity for chance encounters with wrestling superstars, which often results in bursts of backstage drama.



And that’s all we’ve got for you right now. But don’t fret, there’s more exciting locations in the works, including spots to take your favourite wrestlers out on dates!

Where would you wanna take your dream date?

As always, thanks a ton for your continued support. We hope to catch you at our next dev update next month!

Love and high-fives,
Team Lazerbeam

Dev Update #1: The Wrestlers

Yo gang! Welcome to our first monthly development update.

We thought we’d kick things off by introducing you to our diverse cast of wrestling weirdos. You’ll definitely want to get to know them as you’ll be spending heaps of time together backstage.

Ready to meet the future of wrestling?

Freakshow - The Mutant Swamp Dude



“Bork bork!” Big, green and completely unintelligible, Calling Freakshow weird would be an understatement. Bursting with bucket-loads of surreal energy, “The Green Machine” is adored by fans and feared by anyone unlucky enough to face them in the ring.
Pronouns: they/them
Nickname: The Green Machine
Finisher: Bork Buster

Matsuri - Full-throttle Grapple Punk



“Dinosaurs Will Die!” - Matsuri is the youngest of the league’s superstars. What she lacks in physical size, she makes up for in energy twice over. An explosive force of nature, her unbreakable spirit and punk attitude have made her the face of wrestling’s future.
Pronouns: she/her
Nickname: The Electric Tiger
Finisher: PMA DDT

Arms - The Barbarian Sweetheart



“It’s Cuddlin’ time!” - Arms is a larger than life superstar, with a personality as big as his massively over-developed biceps.
Pronouns: he/him
Nickname: The Barbarian Sweetheart
Finisher: Big Crush


King Pretty Guy - Posh Powerbabe



“Bow Down!” - The ultimate beautiful baddie, King Pretty Guy has firmly cemented their place at the top of the promotion. A cold hearted competitor and red-hot heartthrob, KPG rules over the promotion with a perfectly-manicured iron fist.
Pronouns: they/him
Nickname: The Monarch of Muscle
Finisher: Crowning Glory

Outburst - Magma Mouth



“Things are about to get toasty!” - Towering over all other competitors, Outburst is a mountain of muscle and uncontrollable attitude. A brutal warrior in the ring and an outspoken menace on the mic, she fears no other fighter and never shies away from speaking truth to power.
Pronouns: she/her
Nickname: Magma Mouth
Finisher: Atomic Chokeslam

Radical Ray - Bodacious Badass



“Too Bad, so rad!” - Bombastic, bodacious and bad to the bone, Radical Ray is one of the league’s biggest names. While his tubular persona might be out of touch with the alternative spirit of the 90s, he remains a firm favourite of younger fans that love his flashy personality, hard hitting wrestling and breath-taking breakdancing.
Pronouns: he/him
Nickname: The Funky Cyclops
Finisher: Dumping Bummer


Irresistible Steve - The Hottest Thing In The Ring



“Hot like pizza supper!” - Irresistible Steve lives by one rule: win at all costs, and look gorgeous doing it. A theatrical fan favourite, he prides himself on living up to his title “ the hottest thing in the ring”.
Pronouns: he/him
Nickname: The Hottest Thing In The Ring
Finisher: Superhot Hot Shot

What a group! Your decisions in game will decide whether you end up their beloved wrestling partners or their bitter rivals. Choose carefully!

There’s just one person left to introduce you to:

Big Boss MC Manny McMan



Wrestling runs through the veins of MC Manny McMan. A third generation booker, Manny rocked the boat when he took the reins of Wrestling With Feelings back in the 80s. His enthusiasm and energy are legendary, and above all lives to put on the most explosive show possible.

Unfortunately you can only become buddy-buddy with Manny for professional reasons. But, with 7 wrestling superstars to seduce, enrage or bodyslam, you’re going to be spoiled for choice!

Have you got your eye on anyone already?

We’ll be back with our next update in a few weeks! But you can keep in touch with us on Discord or Social Media in the meantime:
