Alpha 0.2.2 Is Live - 50 New Wrestlers, Stamina System & More!

Alpha 0.2.2 is now available for Wrestling GM 2026 on Android (Closed Testing)! This is our biggest content drop yet, packed with new wrestlers, smarter AI competition, and game-changing mechanics.

If you want early access and would like to help shape the game, please e-mail testing@wrestlinggm.com - we'd love to have you on the team.

50 New Wrestlers

That's right - 50 brand-new wrestlers have been added to the free agent pool! With a much larger roster to choose from, you'll have more options for building your dream federation. Whether you're looking for brawlers, technicians, high-flyers, or charismatic showmen - there's someone new waiting for you.

New AI Federations + Clearer Competition View

We've introduced new AI-controlled federations to make the wrestling landscape more competitive and dynamic. Plus, you'll now get a clearer view of your competition - see what other federations are doing and how you stack up.

AI Federations Now Sign Free Agents

This is a game-changer. AI federations will now actively sign free agents from the same pool you're recruiting from. If you see a wrestler you want, move fast - or your competition will snatch them first! This adds real urgency to roster building and makes the world feel truly alive.

Salaries Rebalanced

We've heard your feedback about the early game being too financially punishing. Salaries have been rebalanced to make the first few weeks more manageable. You'll still need to be smart with your money, but you won't go bankrupt after signing your third wrestler.

New Stamina System

A brand-new stamina mechanic adds another layer of strategy to your booking:

• Wrestlers lose stamina after competing in matches
• Stamina recovers when a wrestler is rested (not booked for a week)
• If a wrestler is only featured in promos (no match), they recover 50% of their stamina

This means you'll need to think carefully about match card rotation. Overworking your top stars will have consequences - tired wrestlers won't perform at their best!

Feedback We Need Most

We're actively listening to testers and here's what helps us the most right now:

• Navigation clarity - Can you find everything easily?
• UI layout - Does the interface make sense?
• Anything confusing - If something doesn't click, tell us
• Crashes and bugs - Screenshots help a LOT!

Every piece of feedback makes the game better. Don't hold back.
