So I have this idea in my head for a luchador who has moves based on his fame. What do you folks think of a move that scales as he levels up? Or should they just be advanced moves?

Just keep them as advanced moves. There’s already classes that have advanced moves that replace older moves with, basically, levelled-up effects.
And I’m very interested in the possibility of playing a Dungeon World luchador!
Gremlin Legions Thanks for the input!
Also while im here what makes a luchador a luchador to the folks of the tavern?
Bare chests, fancy masks, bravado, awesome but impractical wrestling moves.
Check out the Pitfighter who is exactly this…

Wynand Louw Curses foiled again!
Wynand Louw Actually now that ive taken a look at it, I think my ideas are sufficiently different
I think the concept is too narrow.
Tim Franzke WEll thats just one of the moves, He would have a wrestling style and other things like interacting with crowds.
Shadi Alhusary are you focused on mexican luchadores like El Santo, or you are thinking about generic wrestlers? There’s also the anime Tiger Mask (2 series) as a serial.
For sure you could play with the bad/good guy trope and the dramatic speeches freezing combat.
I would do the moves 2/3 martial artist, 1/3 bard, with something like a show off moves giving hold to spend on exceptional physical things.
Paride Papadia I was thinking mexican wrestler thing, and that stuff is super helpful!
Shadi Alhusary Cool!
There’s also a cartoon on Luchadores, I think it’s called Rocket… I will post link later
Tim Franzke you are right. The problem with my Pit Fighter is that he is dependent on a very specific setting: urban with a lot of people around. The GM has to be a fan of the character to make it work. Having said that, one of the most memorable characters I GMd for was a Pitfighter, but both me (GM) and the player really went for it. The group was captured by a band of Orcs who turned out to be followers of the pitfighting league. And they were fans of the character ..
Definitely take a look at the beta rules of World Wide Wrestling, Nathan Paoletta ‘s in-development pro wrestling RPG that’s also ‘Powered by the Apocalypse’. I’d love to see someone do a DW/WWW mashup.
