III. INTRODUCTION
The reason I decided to write this list up is that while working on a
create-a-wrestler character, I realized just how cryptic the names of a lot of
the taunt poses really are. I mean, "Hello Ladies" is pretty obvious, but
"Here I Am?" "That's What They Say?" What ARE those? And since most people
don't want to load a character, set his taunt, save, go look in a match, go
back and change, etc., all the way down the line. Add to that the fact that
some characters' taunts aren't available unless you choose their moveset as
a whole, meaning if you want that taunt you have to do it *first* and *then*
change the other moves, it can be a total pain. So, since none of the move
lists seem to include poses at all since they're all the same button combo,
I thought I'd find them all and post them as a timesaver for others. Hope
it comes in handy.
A note on formatting: I haven't used a plain text editor in years.
I *always* use Word or Wordperfect. But for easy distribution this needs to
be a plain .txt file, so I'm trying to count columns and hoping I didn't
mess it up. If it looks bad on a browser, I'll update it.
