Here are some ideas to make your job a little easier.
WRESTLER DISPOSTIONS
- Lawful Good
A Lawful Good character will act and behave as a good person is expected or required to act. They combine a commitment to doing good with discipline to fight relentlessly for what the believe in. They will always tell the truth, keep their word, help those in need and speak out against injustice.
- Neutral Good
A Neutral Good character does the best that a good person can do. They will help others in need, and work with management but they do not feel bound to either of these ideologies.
- Chaotic Good
A Chaotic Good character will act and behave as they want with little to no regard for what others expect or think of them. They make their own way and follow their own moral compass, but they are typically kind hearted. They believe in doing what's right, just have no use for laws or regulations. They hate those who force their will upon others.
- Lawful Neutral
A Lawful Neutral character acts as the law. They are driven by a personal code and order/organization mean everything to them. They believe in personal order and standards by which people should live by, be it by choice or under the power of management.
- Neutral
A Neutral character does what they think is right. They don't feel strongly one way or another when it comes to most topics. A clear middle of the road type of character.
- Chaotic Neutral
A Chaotic Neutral character will follow their own path, and are lone wolves. They value their own liberty and freedom, but will not fight to protect this for others. They have a distain towards management and challenge normalcy. Even still, a Chaotic Neutral character won't intentionally disrupt things in the name of anarchy. They are unpredictable characters, but they are not random. What they do has meaning to them.
- Lawful Evil
A lawful evil villain methodically takes what they wants within the limits of their code of conduct without regard for whom it hurts. They care about tradition, loyalty, and order but not about freedom, dignity, or life. They play by the rules but without mercy or compassion. They are comfortable in a hierarchy and would like to rule, but are willing to serve. They will condemn others not according to their actions but according to race, religion, homeland, or social rank. They aren't the type of people to break laws or promises.
This reluctance comes partly from their nature and partly because they depend on order to protect themselves from those who oppose them on moral grounds. Some lawful evil villains have particular taboos, such as not harming innocent people (but having underlings do it) or not letting children come to harm (if it can be helped). They imagine that these compunctions put them above unprincipled villains.
Some lawful evil people and creatures commit themselves to evil with a zeal like that of a crusader committed to good. Beyond being willing to hurt others for their own ends, they take pleasure in spreading evil as an end unto itself. They may also see doing evil as part of a duty to an evil deity or master.
- Neutral Evil
A neutral evil villain does whatever they can get away with. They are out for themselves, pure and simple. They shed no tears for those they hurt, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. They have no love of order and hold no illusions that following laws, traditions, or codes would make them any better or more noble. On the other hand, they don't have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has.
Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies.
- Chaotic Evil
A chaotic evil character does whatever their greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive them to do. They are hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If they are simply out for whatever they can get, they are ruthless and brutal. If they are committed to the spread of evil and chaos, they is even worse. Thankfully, their plans are haphazard, and any groups they join or form are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leaders rarely last long.

FIGHTING STYLES
Striker Style - A wrestling style with many holds or throws to weaken an opponent, all building up to a big striking finisher. Strikers will often spend hours a day training their striking.
Brawler Style - Pretty much in the name. A brawler will brawl and try to beat their opponents into submission. This style is rarely pretty, but very effective. Full of chops, punches, some kicks, some drops or throws. A Lou Thez Press is also pretty much in every brawler's playbook nowadays.
Mat Wrestling - Also called freestyle, Along with Greco-Roman, it is one of the two styles of wrestling contested in the Olympic Games. Sees it's origins in Catch-As-Catch-Can Wrestling. The goal of the style is to throw your opponent and work them down enough to get the pin. Combines traditional wrestling, judo, and sambo techniques.
Technical Wrestling - Focusing more on holds, takedowns, submissions, and grappling, technical wrestling is about putting everything on the mat and finding ways to target, takedown, and submit your opponent.
Powerhouse Wrestling - Powerhouses show up to kick ass and leave. Combines brawling with big power moves and feats of strength. Powerhouses don't often have much in the tank and can get gassed fast, but they do everything in their power to end the match before that point.
High Flyer Style - An offshoot of Lucha Libre with a bigger emphasis on flashy springboard moves and sprinting around the ring to avoid your opponent. This style also includes some technical work to ensure your opponent cannot avoid your flashy flips and flops. High flyers are adrenaline junkies who rarely sell an opponents offense until they've suffered too much damage and can barely move, which makes it a very taxing and dangerous style.
Strong Style - One of the most common forms of Puroresu. Wrestling with an emphasis on strong strikes and kicks. Submissions are equally important to this style. Anything to break down your opponent. Comparable to MMA, although later Strong Style would add influences of other styles including more throws, powerbombs, drops, etc etc.
Kings Road - A very dangerous style. Kings Road favors a narrative story driven match, where you work over a part of the body leading to a big finisher (typically a drop to the head or neck). Submission wrestling is often completely ignored in this style, other than some rest holds to break down said limb. Considered one of the most dangerous styles of Puroresu ever formed, it has become a taboo in todays wrestling.
Shoot Wrestling - one of the oldest styles of Japanese Puroresu. Shoot wrestling combines boxing, MMA*, full contact throws and slams and other styles. An exciting mix max style that is still around today. *Some of the most prominent MMA styles in this form include Pancrase, Maui Thai, Sambo, Judo, kickboxing, submission wrestling, and much more.
Joshi Puroresu - a style of Puroresu performed exclusively by women. Combines Strong Style, Kings Road, Shoot Wrestling, Hardcore Wrestling and Lucha Libre. A highly entertaining mixed/mashed style. Typically exclusive to Japanese Women, but other countries have began to use it.
Lucha Libre - One of the oldest wrestling styles. Lucha Libre is often characterized by colorful masks, rapid fluid sequences of rest holds to slams or drops to high flying moves. Lucha Libre roughly translates into "Freestyle wrestling", meaning wrestling with no limits to what you can do. Hardcore wrestling also has a home within this style.
Hardcore Wrestling - also called garbage style or deathmatch. This style specializes in weapons wrestling, and the wrestlers are prepared to maim and/or be maimed themselves. Not a style for the faint of heart. This style also has a lot of brawling and some technical work.
Brawler Style - Pretty much in the name. A brawler will brawl and try to beat their opponents into submission. This style is rarely pretty, but very effective. Full of chops, punches, some kicks, some drops or throws. A Lou Thez Press is also pretty much in every brawler's playbook nowadays.
