Basically, look over or think back to the different original characters you created in different wrestling games, and figure out whether they'd get over with the hardcore fans if they were real.
My de facto CAW is a guy named Oliver Dark, who's more or less my wrestler Mary Sue. He works with a mix of technical stuff, some suplexes and brawling with a cobra clutch and a frog splash as his finishers, and I imagine his mic work being a bit over the top and shouty but not very reliant on catch phrases.
I'm leaning towards "mixed reaction"- his selling and mannerisms lean toward the cartoony side of the fence, so I don't think he's for everybody. Plus I always make his face character super nice and his heel character into Satan incarnate, there's not much "nuance" with him.

My main original Caw is called Totorob, he would probably be an IWC favorite due to his workrate, his martial arts ability and great variation of suplexes in his arsenal, plus his finisher is a multiple fishermans buster into a fishermans plex. Generic red and black look though and brown hair, so probably in real life would be like a Tyson Kidd. My original female caw is called Lulu, shes pretty much based off the girl of the same name from final fantasy X, goth look, lots of weird taunting, big boobs, and a lucha based arsenal. Probably would be quite popular with the IWC!

Jack Lion is a typical 80s wrestler. He'd win the ICW easily over. ;D

Not really, I usually just make an exaggerated version of me who looks like he'd hang around with Teryo Law and icemg1k (I just dated myself with that reference, didn't I?)

No, probably not. He takes a lot of cues from Triple H.

Possibly. My Mary-Sue CAW is A technical wrestler in lieu of Regal, Finlay etc with MMA background that targets body parts before snapping up the win with a submission or dropping people with the "Stupor Kick" (I mispronounced Super Kick once and thought it sounded pretty cool and kinda made sense.) Also pull out some strong man offense with stalling suplexes etc from time to time.
Top rope's a big no-no though. Only ever go up if my opponent won't stay down for a Heatseeking Elbow, and that misses most of the time, setting me up for a beating.

My caw does a diving headbutt, I think that's most of the battle won.

Not mine, my CAW I create is your typical brawler and would be classified as a hoss today

Probably, he did a lot of flashy yet ultimately pointless moves.

All of my originals were just things that appealed to my warped sense of humor - Evil Robot Elvis, Craig the Mexican Super-Deity, "Nature Boy" Buddy Holly, etc.

Mr. Friendly started as a bandage up inmate then evolved to a dictator/clown character. I imagine he'd be loved for his hardcore ways and psychotic promos.
Ric Rocket, my self insert CAW, would be despised. He started as a flashy self-centered heel. But once he turned face, I dropped the high flyer moveset and bulked him up a bit leading to him having a stranglehold on the WHC across three games.

Probably, he did a lot of flashy yet ultimately pointless moves. This, also mine wore jean shorts and a baskeyball jersey and had the stone cold stunner as a finisher. I don't remember the name for this original creation but he should be known as Backyard McBreakneck.

Maybe. He's like CM Punk, being an indy legend with a great workrate who's a total arrogant scumbag.

I guess it really depends on how people feel about ninjas. I guess if it was the 80s they'd be pretty popular. My CAW of choice is pretty much just a generic ninja that uses kicks as a way to get around things like The Big Show.

Very likely. My go-to CAW (and e-fed character) is 6'7", 310 lbs. with a personality that's a cross between PCS era Kevin Nash & JBL. His in ring style is a mix between Kenta Kobashi & Kevin Nash. At pay-per-views he has hammy, over-the-top entrances that would put Triple H's & Undertaker's Wrestlemania entrances to shame. You tell me if you'd mark for that.

Before I knew who he was and only knew his name, I made a guy named Harley Race in WWF Attitude, and he was dressed up in black leather pants with flames on them.
In other words...oh yeah.

Considering it was roughly based on Steve Austin from ECW - oh hell yeah.

My first CAW was a 911 clones named The Peacemaker. He had basically all choke slams, clotheslines and power bombs. I dunno how that'd fly now.

So a guy named Inverter who basically wrestled like a larger X-Pac whose catchphrase was "I WILL TURN YOU INSIDEEEEEE OUT" or his nemesis, An Undertaker ripoff in a paintball mask named Darkslide.
...Probably not.
