Line 15:
* [[Button Mashing]]: Almost entirly subverted. Except in a couple situations, all button inputs are based on timing. However, it's completely played straight in Human's arcade game (and [[Sega Saturn]] port) ''Blazing Tornado''.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: ''Blazing Tornado'' was initially a standalone wrestling arcade game from Human, though the move animations were the same as the ''Fire Pro'' games. When it was ported to the [[Sega Saturn]], however, it was retitled ''Fire Pro Gaiden: Blazing Tornado'', officially adding the game to the series.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: All the wrestlers in the games look like their [[Real Life|real life]] counterparts, the only thing different is the name. This was taken a step further in the [[Game Boy Advance]] games, where all wrestlers under a contract with a US company ([[WWE]], [[WCW]], etc.) [[Adaptation Dye Job|had their skin, hair, and outfit colors changed]], too.
** [[Bruce Lee Clone]]: The second GBA game, Final Fire Pro Wrestling/Fire Pro Wrestling 2 had [[Bruce Lee]] thrown in under the name Kung-Fu Liu, along with other famous martial artists like [[Chuck Norris]], Mas Oyama and judo expert Kyoko Tamura.
* [[Character Customization]]: The [[Trope Maker]] for the wrestling game genre, or ''Super Fire Pro Wrestling III: Final Bout'' for Super Nintendo, to be exact.
Line 33:
* [[No Fair Cheating]]: Really, really odd one. You're playing ''Super Fire Pro Wrestling III Easy Type'', huh? No edit mode for you!
* [[No Problem With Licensed Games]]: The series ''is'' mainly known for a handful of renamed wrestlers from different federations worldwide thrown into one game, yeah, but some of its' installments are actually licensed and are spinning around one or two Japanese promotions. For the record, the first one was ''Fire Pro Women: All Star Dream Slam'' on [[Super Nintendo]], which featured actual female performers from All Japan's Women Pro Wrestling.
* [[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: After ''Super Fire Pro Wrestling 3'', none of the games number their sequels.
** In fact, the first game in the series wasn't just called ''Fire Pro Wrestling'', no, it's name is ''Fire Pro Wrestling: Combination Tag''. Wouldn't it be fair to say this trope is in the series's blood?
** For some reason, the only game in the series on the [[Sega Genesis|Mega Drive]] is titled ''Thunder Pro Wrestling Retsuden''.
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Extremely rare, but if a character has a move that can be done at the start of a match and potentially cause a critical, it's possible to knock out, pin, or force a submission in one move.
* [[Shout -Out]]: As a part of shoutout moveset performed by Kenny Omega of DDT, it's possible to assign [[Kinnikuman (Manga)|Burning Inner Strength]] to the created wrestlers.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To the NES classic ''Pro Wrestling'', featuring a very similar fighting system, as well as an assortment of wrestlers very blatantly intended to be existing ones.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: Once the games started including entrance themes for the wrestlers, they simply used slightly altered versions of popular wrestlers' themes.
