'''Wrestler''' is a [[Copy Ability]] which gives [[Kirby]] several different grappling and wrestling moves. It first appeared in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', and is currently exclusive to that game, meaning there is no enemy that grants this ability when swallowed, making it one of two Copy Abilities to have this trait, the other being [[Jelly]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]''. It is also the second Copy Ability to be introduced in a spin-off game, the first being [[Balloon]], which debuted in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''.

When using the Wrestler ability, Kirby dons a brightly-colored red and yellow luchador mask with flame-like decals which covers the upper half of his body, leaving only two holes in the front for his eyes. This ability gives Kirby several different melee attacks, in addition to lunges, grabs, and throws, making it very similar to both the [[Fighter]] and [[Suplex]] abilities.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Wrestler Kirby appears on two [[Character Treat]]s along with [[Sword]] Kirby, one using the paired artwork from ''Kirby Fighters 2'', and another showing both of them riding the [[Buddy Star Blaster]]. A separate Character Treat that depicts artwork of the [[Costumes|Sumo Topknot]] Rare Hat can also be collected. Wrestler does not appear as an ability in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' itself.

==Trivia==
[[File:KBR Wrestling Mask.png|thumb|100px|The Wrestling Mask headgear from ''Kirby Battle Royale'']]
*The Meteor Plancha attack functions in a very similar manner to that of [[smashwiki:Incineroar (SSBU)|Incineroar]]'s up-special move "Cross Chop" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Both moves were likely inspired by [[wikipedia:Mil Máscaras|Mil Máscaras]]' wrestling move, the [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Plancha|plancha]].
*With five pages worth of moves, Wrestler is the most complex Copy Ability in ''Kirby Fighters 2'', and among the most complex abilities in the entire ''Kirby'' series.
*A wrestling mask of similar design previously appeared as [[Costumes#Kirby Battle Royale|Headgear]] for the [[Fighter]] ability in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''.
*The primary artwork of Wrestler Kirby has a somewhat similar pose to Kirby's official artwork for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
*Wrestler Kirby appears in the discontinued [[Kirby Café]] food item, [[Kirby Café menu|Wrestler Kirby hamburger with chop]].
