About This Game

Welcome to the page for The Pay Window, the sandbox wrestling simulation game starting in the 1980s!

  • Play through a fictionalized 1980s wrestling world into the 90s and 2000s.

The Pay Window puts you as the one running the show in the most exciting era of professional wrestling history starting in January 1986. You'll be right in the middle of the territory days with eight selectable promotions competing for survival, television deals, and territory. 

  • Manage roster morale, drama, and injuries

Sign talent, negotiate contracts, create tag teams and stables, and put over your champions while your competition does the same.

  • Book weekly shows and major events

Build weekly cards with matches, angles, and promos. Schedule main events, book classic squash matches (without penalty!), and title defenses.

  • Play history, or break it

Go through the eras in historic mode or dynamic mode if you prefer and rewrite everything. No playthroughs ever feel the same way.
