Just to clear up some confusion,

If you do not want your character to look a certain way during a match, you need to be as detailed as possible in your profile. If you just throw down "heel" and ten wrestling moves, well that doesn't give the match writers much to go by. Everyone's idea of a heel can be different. Maybe a heel does everything he can to win, or maybe he's just a dick to the fans. The point is, we don't know for sure unless you tell us.

So my advice is to add more meat to your character's strengths and weaknesses.

A couple of examples:

Wrestler 1 Strengths: Monster heel, attacks opponents relentlessly, sometimes ignores referee, talks trash to his opponent, manager interferes

Wrestler 2 Strengths: Cheats, pulls hair, uses weapons, tons of outside interference

Wrestler 3 Strengths: Fights with honor, never uses weapons, prefers decisive victories, always goes for the finishing move

Wrestler 4 Strengths: Never gives up, able to take a beating, loves weapons


Now, it might not be possible to include everything but a match writer should at least be able to pull two things out of the strengths and utilize them in the match. If the writer sees Wrestler 3 then he'll know not to have that wrestler use weapons and to have him use a standard pin if he wins.


On that note, match writers should always take a minute to look over someone's profile. You don't have to include every move on their list in the match, but at least try to put in 3-5 of them. When I write, I usually try to get in 5-8 and I'll have the loser get away with at least a signature move or attempt a finisher. Of course, that's if the loser of the match bothered showing up. It's pretty easy, and you can pump out a quality match write-up that's under 500 words.
