Wrestling Empire is a professional wrestling simulation game developed by MDickie (Mat Dickie). It offers one of the most comprehensive wrestling experiences available on mobile devices, featuring career mode, exhibition matches, and a unique roaming mode that lets you experience life as a wrestler outside the ring.
With over 350 wrestlers across 10 different rosters, the game provides an epic shared universe where you can create your own wrestling star and compete for championship glory. Despite its distinctive visual style, Wrestling Empire offers unparalleled gameplay depth and wrestling mechanics not found in any other mobile wrestling game.
Developer Background
Mat Dickie (MDickie) is an independent game developer known for creating simulation games with incredible depth and customization options. He's known for developing games single-handedly, handling everything from programming to graphics. His wrestling games, including Wrestling Revolution 3D and now Wrestling Empire, have garnered a cult following for their unique blend of arcade gameplay and simulation elements.
iOS Version Specifics
The iOS version of Wrestling Empire offers the complete experience available on other platforms but with touch controls optimized for mobile play. The game requires iOS 12.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It includes in-app purchases that unlock additional features, but the base game provides full access to the core wrestling experience.
While modding is more limited on iOS compared to PC versions due to platform restrictions, this guide will cover alternative ways to enhance your game experience within the limitations of the iOS platform.
Pro Tip:
Wrestling Empire is best played with large screen devices like iPads for the most comfortable touch control experience. The game also supports external controllers on iOS, which can significantly improve gameplay.

Grappling System
The grappling system is the heart of Wrestling Empire's gameplay. Here's how to master it:
Basic Grapple Controls:
Press Grapple (G) again without a direction to release a hold (with a direction to whip them off)
Press Attack (A), Run (R), or Pick-Up (P) commands with any direction (or none) to execute the corresponding move from your move set
Use the Focus (L/R) command in a grapple to change your position (turn from front to back or vice versa)
Continue to use directions to move or turn where possible (such as getting to or from the ropes to break)
Corner Grapples:
When grabbing someone in the corner, you can override your default move by:
Holding towards to lift them up
Holding away to drag them out
Transitions:
Some moves offer you the chance to immediately transition into another hold or pin. In these instances, make sure you are holding the corresponding command before the move ends. If your intention is to let the move end naturally, avoid pressing anything at the moment of impact.
Interface Explanation
Understanding the game interface is crucial for maximizing your experience:
Health Meter:
The red bar under your wrestler's name shows current health. When it's depleted, you're vulnerable to pins and submissions.
Adrenaline Meter:
The yellow bar under the health meter indicates momentum. When filled, you experience an "adrenaline rush" where you become 10% stronger and can perform special finishing moves.
Spirit Meter (Roaming Mode):
The yellow meter in roaming mode represents mental health. High spirit can trigger an adrenaline rush; low spirit risks a nervous breakdown.
Match Rating:
The star rating in the top right shows the current quality of the match. Higher ratings lead to popularity gains and better career opportunities.
Control Tip:
In iOS settings, you can adjust the control size under Display options. Larger controls are easier to hit but take up more screen space.

When adrenaline is full, you experience an "adrenaline rush" where you're 10% stronger
During an adrenaline rush, your moves become finishers or stronger versions

11. FAQ
Unfortunately, there is no official way to install mods on iOS without jailbreaking. Apple's security measures prevent unauthorized modifications to apps. Instead, focus on using the extensive in-game customization options to create characters, promotions, and storylines that simulate the experience you want. The game offers significant customization within its official boundaries.
There are two ways to perform a finisher:
Fill your adrenaline meter (yellow bar) completely. When it's full, you'll experience an "adrenaline rush" and any move you perform will be either a special finishing move or a stronger version of a regular move.
Alternatively, you can attempt a finisher early by pressing the Taunt button during a grapple, but this has a high chance of failure if your adrenaline meter isn't full.
Wrestling Empire is a resource-intensive game, especially during matches with multiple wrestlers and objects. To improve performance:
Reduce the display settings under the "Display" options
Limit the number of wrestlers in a match
Reduce the number of weapons and furniture
Close other apps running in the background
Ensure your device meets the minimum requirements (iOS 12.0 or later)
Keep your device and game updated to the latest version
To increase your chances of getting a title shot:
Win matches consistently to build your popularity
Approach the current champion via the Roster menu and challenge them
Create a rivalry with the champion through promos and interactions
Negotiate for a "Title Push" clause in your contract
Become a fan favorite by increasing your popularity
Win tournaments or #1 contender matches when offered
Your chances improve significantly when your popularity reaches similar levels to the champion's.
Some wrestlers may have "Creative Control" over their gimmick, preventing you from editing them in booking mode. Additionally, you need to unlock full editing privileges by either:
Working for each promotion in career mode
Purchasing the Pro version which allows you to unlock all characters
If you're using iOS, Pro features are available through in-app purchases.
Creating 5-star matches requires attention to several factors:
Use popular wrestlers with good face vs. heel chemistry
Keep the match balanced with back-and-forth action
Create dramatic near-falls and submission attempts
Use high-impact moves sparingly for maximum effect
Don't let the match drag on too long (watch the clock icon)
Don't overuse weapons (watch the skull icon)
For a nearly guaranteed 5-star match, try a Royal Rumble style match with 6 wrestlers and 1-minute intervals

MFi (Made for iOS) certified controllers

Xbox One and Xbox Series controllers (iOS 13+)
To use a controller, pair it with your iOS device via Bluetooth in the Settings app before launching the game. The game should automatically detect the controller, but you may need to configure button mapping in the game's controller settings.
On iOS, Wrestling Empire save data is automatically backed up if you have iCloud backup enabled for apps. However, there's no official way to manually access or transfer save files on non-jailbroken iOS devices due to Apple's security restrictions.
If you're concerned about losing progress, ensure that:
Your game is updated to the latest version
You have iCloud backup enabled for apps
You allow the game to fully save after making significant progress
Injuries are part of the wrestling simulation experience, but you can reduce their frequency by:
Improving your wrestler's Stamina attribute, which increases injury resistance
Taking sufficient time to rest and restore health between matches
Avoiding extremely dangerous moves and match types when your health is low
Not continuing to wrestle when already injured
Accepting time off when recommended by the booker
Using the hospital to treat injuries properly
Remember that older wrestlers are more prone to injuries and take longer to recover.

First Blood: Make your opponent bleed first
Ironman Match: Score the most falls within the time limit
Battle Royal/Rumble: Throw all opponents over the top rope

Yes, Wrestling Empire on iOS supports local multiplayer for up to 4 players on the same device. This can be achieved in two ways:
Using multiple external controllers paired to your iOS device
