Yep, sixty.

Virtual Basement are being ambitious here. They're not content to plump a mix of 10 stars from ROH, Impact and New Japan on the roster select screen and call it a day. Their game looks like it could have up to 60 wrestlers included, and some heavy hitters have already been confirmed.

The likes of Matt Sydal, Bull James, Brian Pillman Jr, Brian Cage, Beyond Wrestling’s Bear Country, WrestlePro’s Shawn Donovan and many others have proudly displayed their contracts for the game on social media. To date, VB has signed up a respectable 29 male stars. The downside is that only one female worker (Gabby Ortiz) has been announced.

More will surely follow there. It'd be a bit weird if Ortiz was the sole women's wrestler in the game, especially if Virtual Basement plan to implement the same separation 2K do between genders in their titles. Still, 30 names means they're halfway there.
