What the title says, just give a short "pros and cons" list for your character.
Senator Steve Phillips
Strengths *Longtime veteran of the business with a wide range of experience in many match situations, is generally prepared for any style of opponent *One of the top mat technicians in ACW history, expert in submissions and flash cradle pins *Old Man Knife Edge Chops(and proficient in his other strikes) *Extremely, stubbornly tough, very difficult to gain a decisive pinfall victory against, and has kicked out of moves that few if no others have escaped. *Endless variety of moves to draw from, including some of the most impactful moves in ACW *Although he dislikes participating in them, has become rather proficient in cage matches
Weaknesses *Physically is plagued with chronic injuries, knee, back, neck, shoulder, but ignores medical advice *Agility is nowhere near what it was, even some three years ago *Seems to have a particular weakness against the Wakigatame/Fujiwara Armbar *Can be taken off guard by a quick opponent *Is stubborn enough to brawl in disadvantageous situations *Will NOT use weapons in nearly any circumstances, including no disqualifications matches *Too small to use his more impactful moves against the larger heavyweight opponents *Considers himself a sportsman in the ring, which makes him susceptible to properly placed heel tactics *Has typically been overly trustful of allies, although the last year has changed this somewhat

XS3
Strengths * Constantly persistant within the ring * Utilizes technical wrestling in any form of match * Fueled on by his wife, Christine * Big frame able to wear down smaller opponents easily * Seven years of experience under his belt
Weaknesses * Incredibly stubborn; generally ignores people who tell him to back off * Not the fastest cat in ACW, making it easy for smaller opponents to out-run him * Lack of self-control during grudge matches may make it easy to get him DQed, unless the match has a no-DQ stip * Fragile state of mind has caused him to bow to personal issues on more than one occasion

Strengths - Never goes into a match without a back-up plan and a back-up plan for that back-up plan - Well-versed in the lucha libre styles and flys like no other - If he senses an injury, Adrian relentlessly goes after it - Adrian's moods are unpredictable which makes him hard to scout in the ring - Adrian's a graduate from Buddy Rose's "Fight Smart, Not Hard" school. If there is any way for him to take advantage of an opponent, he definately will.
Weaknesses - Adrian's state of mind is impossible to figure out since Starkweather got a hold of him months ago. He's either completely obnoxious or pissed off at the world. - Adrian is impatient when it comes to opportunities and title shots, as well when it comes to pins that don't get the job done. - Adrian believes he's right and everyone else is wrong. The earth rotates around the moon, the world is flat, and the grass is greener on his side. This outlook usually makes him a miserable person to be around.

BK London
Strengths
*Almost always able to adapt to the style of his opponents in the ring. *Is well versed in technical moves, but has been known on many occasions to get Hardcore. *High threshold for pain. *Can land the Shades of Michaels out of anywhere, and usually does. *Also like Senator, is very proficient in cage matches - and hasn't suffered a loss in one as of yet. *Thinking man's wrestler.
Weaknesses *His over confidence can become his downfall in the ring. *Can usually be distracted or thrown off once family comes into the situation. *Is a bit self-centered, only thinking about himself and how he can further his career. *Has been somewhat injury prone over the past year and a half.

AK:
Strengths - Seriously quick in the ring, and agile outside of it. - Generally patient and good at frustrating larger, heavier opponents - Able to take a hit or two, especially against other lightweights - Has worked over time to broaden her skillset, with some choice mat and submission moves to supplement her rapid striking / high flying style.
Weaknesses: - Probably more interested in putting on a "good show" rather than maintaining the strongest win/loss record - If her mobility is compromised, her ability to recover is limited - Worries about her age, and having to compromise between her career and other life choices (e.g. starting a family) - Can be slow to act decisively against malicious opponents (though her tolerance for bullshit appears to be much lower after recent events).

Strengths
- Very creative; although he wrestles in many different styles, it's still difficult to limit Hunter to just one, as he can bust out moves that he's never even practiced before if he thinks that they will help him win, making him very unpredictable - Very tolerant of pain, and uses that as a sort of mental technique, making people think that their moves do less damage on him than they really have, thereby making them somewhat nervous about him and his strengths - Uses the Shotgun, which is, like, TOTALLY the best finisher ever (>_>)
Weaknesses
- As for basically everyone else, very stubborn, and thinks he can take anyone any time and any place (although that doesn't necessarily mean that he will) - Has a tendency to showboat - Sometimes too clever for his own good, in that he spends too much time thinking through the most useless details, thereby distracting him from his overall goal

Strengths
*Is usually underestimated, when it comes to wrestling big name opponents. *Usually is control of a match %65 of the time *Loves to exploit weapon usuage, especially against those noble types like Jon. *Is an Eddie Guerrero type cheater, who never gets caught. *Has a backround in Krav Maga which makes his style more confusing to his opponents.
Weaknesses
*Is not the smartest man in ACW, usually falls for the dumbest tricks from his opponents. *Extremely gullible, if AK told him to jump off a roof to gain wrestling powers he would. *During a match, if he gets hit with a big move from his opponent, he backs off and stops being aggresive. *His moveset is as limited as Steven Segal's acting abilities. *Never toured in Japan, so when his opponents pull out moves he's never seen before he's defenseless. *Gets easily frustrated if an opponent kicks out after he nails his finisher. *Is a resident sociopath,so anyone that wants to help him, he usually shuns away so he can be alone.
