Personality Traits
Everytime I am Particular (Entertainment)
The first entry is particular about the development
of the match. When the percentage is high, the
wrestler is clumsy. For example, more likely to
cause an opponent to fall out of the ring. When it
is low, he's reliable.
Serious Time (Discretion)
When the percentage is higher, the wrestler's
tactics are purely for the purpose of winning.
For example, often drags an opponent to the middle
of the ring when they're down near the ropes to
avoid a rope break. When it's low, tactics are
more aimed at entertaining than winning.
Flexibility
This percentage sets his adaptability to the
opponent's style.
Cooperation
Used for Tag Matches, when this percentage is set
higher, more likely to do Double Team moves and
work with a partner.

Done (Back to Wrestler Edit menu)
This menu is very convenient for English-speaking players since
LOAD, SAVE, and DELETE are actually written in English. Also,
unlike FPG and FPD, saving will actually write the data
directly to the cart's memory -- no need to save again in
another screen afterwards. There are 77 slots available for
wrestler data.

Simply choose EDIT and then either the logo or the name to
change it. LOAD/SAVE are in English on-screen.

Rename
======

The rename mode's initial screen functions similarly to the Wrestler
Select screen. Use D-Pad LEFT/RIGHT to highlight an organization,
UP/DOWN to highlight a wrestler. Press UP again at the top wrestler to
rename the organization itself.

Wrestler Affiliation
====================

Use D-Pad UP/DOWN to highlight a wrestler, and press A to choose an
organization for him to belong to. Below all of the organizations is
the Hide feature which hides the wrestler from the Wrestler Select
screen altogether.
