* CostumePorn
* CoolMask
* {{Face}}: In early WCW, Liger actually started out as the heel when feuding with Brian Pillman, but he was such a natural face that the fans started cheering for him.
* IHaveTheHighGround: That barely says it. He was the innovator of the Shooting Star Press.
* RedBaron: 'Thunder'
* ShoutOut: His whole persona is this to the anime ''Jushin Liger''
* {{Superhero}}

* CaptainErsatz: For the Wrestling/UltimateWarrior, as Hulk would show videos of him acting very much like Warrior with the apparent intention of making people believe Ultimate Warrior actually was coming in to WCW at the time.

* {{Jobber}}: Pretty much. He had one [=PPV=] match, a loss to the Equalizer at ''WCW [=SuperBrawl=] IV,''

* [[BreakupBreakout The Jannetty]]: Wrestling/BookerT is a much bigger name.

* SuplexFinisher: German suplex, naturally.

** StayingAliveDancePose: Of course.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: As a member of the Filthy Animals and the NWO Wolfpac
* FunPersonified: As a face.
* HeManWomanHater: Notoriously quit WCW for a short period rather than allow Wrestling/{{Jacqueline}} a run-in and bodyslam in one of his matches. He changed his mind and ended up agreeing to lose an entire match to her.
** WouldntHitAGirl: {{Enforced|Trope}} by WCW. Did nothing but arm drags and drop toe holds all match. Nearly won anyway by rolling through a cross body block.
* JokeCharacter

* TagalongKid: When he was claiming to be a member of the nWo Wolfpac.

[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wcwreese_3053.jpg]]
* BeardOfEvil: As Reese.
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: [[CaptainObvious The Yeti]]. Of course, he was actually a {{Mummy}}. And yes, it [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext made just as much sense in context]].
* TheBrute: For the Flock
* ChokeHolds[=/=]NeckLift: His FinishingMove as Reese was an elevated two-handed [=chokebomb.=]
* CommutingOnABus: He made two appearances as the Yeti (the October 23, 1995 ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'' and on October 29th at ''Halloween Havoc.'') Then he got turned into the Super Giant Ninja for the ''World War III'' battle royal and only made one more appearance after that. He made a handful of appearances as Studd in 1996, and was completely absent for the entirety of 1997. He debuted as Reese on the March 2, 1998 ''Nitro'' and was gone by the end of June.
* DavidVsGoliath: Juventud Guerrera defeated Reese at ''The Great American Bash 98'' with a [=huracanrana=] after ex-Flock member Van Hammer hit Reese with a chairshot to the back.
** Inverted when, as Ron Studd, he defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. on the October 19, 1996 ''WCW Saturday Night.''
* TheGiant: 7'3 and over 400 lbs.
* {{Homage}}: The name "Big Ron Studd" was one to his trainer, the late WWE Hall of Famer [[Characters/WWERockNWrestling Big John Studd]].
* IHaveManyNames
* {{Jobber}}: As Studd, he was probably one of the tallest guys to regularly be used as enhancement talent.
* MightyGlacier
* UsefulNotes/{{Nepal}}
* {{Ninja}}: A Super Giant one, in fact.
* PowerStable: The Wrestling/DungeonOfDoom and [[Wrestling/{{Raven}} Raven's Flock]]
* TheVoiceless: He got ''one'' speaking opportunity as Reese, which he used to name his finisher "The Double Choke Smash," although the announcers never called it that.

* DiscoStu

* AccidentalMisnaming[=/=]BlindIdiotTranslation: His name was initially mistranslated as ''The Ultimate Dragon''.
* ArchEnemy: First Psicosis, then anyone who was being managed by Sonny Onoo.
* CoolMask
* ForeignWrestlingHeel: At first
* HeelFaceTurn: He debuted in WCW as a heel under Sonny Onoo's management, then split with Onoo and turned face. He's been a face ever since.
* IHaveTheHighGround: His turnbuckle handstand. Also, he innovated the Asai Moonsault.
* LightningBruiser: A cruiserweight, but his kicks put him well into the Bruiser category.
* MaskedLuchador: He was Japanese, but because of the brutality of the Japanese training system he trained to wrestle in Mexico.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivered one to Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. On PPV. En route to winning the Cruiserweight Title.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: He didn't breathe fire or have wings, but he flew just fine without them.
* ShoutOut[=/=]{{Homage}}: His name is one to Creator/BruceLee.
* TooManyBelts: At one point, held 11 different championship belts, including the 8-belt J-Crown and the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. He made a point of wearing them all at the same time, to boot.

* ArchEnemy: Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr. From the time they both debuted in wrestling until Psicosis got fired from WWE.
* AxCrazy: One of his signature moves was diving straight over the top rope, head first.
** Look at his damn ''name.''
* TheChewToy: Mr. Torres got ''way'' more than his share of bad breaks. Cancelled push after cancelled push, being forced to lose a title he never won ''twice''.
* CoolMask
* FragileSpeedster: Against heavyweights. Against wrestlers his own size he was nearly a LightningBruiser - had a great powerbomb and a lariat.
* MaskedLuchador
* SpikesOfVillainy: His wristguards and shoulderpads had (decorative) spikes on them.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: His short lived one-man-rage against Raven's Flock when former enemy Ultimo Dragon helped him fend off the stable. Only the WCW bookers lost interest in the angle, then buried him to Perry Saturn 2 weeks later. And his Cruiserweight Title run, which was supposed to be lengthy until Wrestling/VinceRusso decided to start deliberately having the titles change hands continually.
* WhatTheHellHero: Perpetrated against him. He was forcibly unmasked by the Filthy Animals. Who were a face stable. And two of whom, Konnan and Rey Jr., were luchadors themselves.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Psychosis and La Parka formed a semi-regular tag team. La Parka probably hit Psychosis with his chair for no reason more often than the tandem won matches in their entire WCW run.

* FinishingMove: Train Wreck, a Powerslam
