From press release-described "punk indie supergroup", Team Lazerbeam, comes Wrestling with Emotions: New Kid on the Block -- dating sim, of sorts, that set you and your created wrestling character on a path to find love in a wrestling promotion set in the 90s.
Also, it should be noted this is actually a sequel to Wrestling With Emotions: The Quest for the Perfect Match, which was released via indie portal Itch.io a few years back. I also didn't even acknowledge the "WWE" initialism here until I made a folder for its screens when I was downloading them. I must have been too distracted by the game's pretty amazing art.
Here's the official pipe bomb:
Taking place six years after the original game, New Kid on the Block casts the player as a rookie wrestler on the hunt for love in the world’s biggest promotion. Befriend, seduce, enrage and bodyslam a diverse cast of musclebound heartthrobs in a one-of-a-kind experience that flips the classic dating simulator upside down and powerbombs it through a ringside table.

Tower of Power - Craft a new persona with the 'Look Out Lovers' character creator, combining props and accessories to create your own dazzling dreamboat!
Lay the Smackdown - Build loving relationships, lifelong friendships and bitter rivalries with a diverse cast of suplex superstars!
