About this pick
AYW Pro Manager is a professional wrestling management game that puts YOU front and center. You are responsible for creating a world class roster. You can make transfer and loan offers for rival talent, you offer contracts (inc bonuses and merchandise cuts), you book shows and so much more. The game is packed with features and decisions for you to make. The Boardroom Once you have decided on a company to take charge of from the 30 available (and more to follow), you should check out the boardroom. Here, you can see the trust level of not only the board of directors, but also the fans and the TV companies. If the level of trust drops below a certain level then you receive a warning. 3 warnings and you are fired. You then have to take over another company, with a fresh batch of stars. Don't worry though, you have a helpful assistant who will give you tips along the way. Maya can be found on your dashboard and she will deliver messages to your inbox, as well as weekly and monthly reports. The boardroom shows a snapshot of your place in the wrestling world. Your position will be updated at the beginning of each month. Just remember - the board are watching and if you fail to improve your position, the board will likely mention this at your end of year performance review (yes, this does actually happen!!) Book Like A Promoter When you are familiar with your roster, you can book some shows!

You need to create some storylines and ensure these are featured on your shows if you want to aim for those high ratings and ticket sales. Ticket sales will update as and when you book your shows and you can see these updating on the events screen. During shows, you are behind the curtain making decisions in real time. Before the event starts, you can add time to a match or you can delete a segment from the card altogether if you wish. When the event begins, you can check how each segment is performing with the commentary and reaction that takes place during the segment and also the crowd momentum will help guide any decisions. There is a wide variety of matches to choose from in AYWPM. In fact, there are over 100 different matches. You can also book exactly how a match will finish. Ref takes a bump? You got it. Chair shot after a run-in by a wrestler (of your choice)? You got it. Avalanche finisher into a submission? Why not? You can also book from a range of promos/angles, including a face off, a contract signing and many more. Another unique feature is the ability to add an advert to your show. This will gain money for your company (the longer the ad, the more money you receive) however, this will really annoy the fans.
