      not all, but few who made it to the top act like the character they present in real life. This has pros/cons to it. If you act like how you do in the ring in real life or close to it in real life, it's not that hard. You are now the character in the ring. I believe Steve Austin did this and from what I heard was just one of the reason he got separated with Debra. His acted like "Stone Cold" in real life with his wife. It seems there are wrestlers whether they are too passionate or delusion have hard time separating from the life in the ring vs real world.
