DO have him address the fans mid-match about conspiracy theories.

DO have him liberally use low blows.
DO NOT have him trust any partner or opponent.
DO NOT have him delay pins to show off.
DO NOT have him gloat.
DO NOT have him beg off - he is a proud, knife-in-his-teeth type of fighter until spooked as per above.

He is a conspiranoid. Everything you can think of that people usually roll their eyes and laugh at, John believes – and spreads in his podcast.
Backstory:
Not much is known about the man calling himself John Truth, whose medical records are still classified after several years' treatment in a state psychiatric facility.
He is estimated to be somewhere in his 40s, and is believed to reside around the Seattle area. It is also said he finished with his woman because she couldn't help him with his mind, and that people think he's insane because he is frowning all the time.
Appearance: A dishevelled, unkempt middle-aged man with greasy, receding dark-brown hair, several-day stubble and a definite beer paunch, scowling his way through life. Usually seen in shabby, stained clothes – normally denims, flannels, tank tops and combat boots.
Entrance Music: Paranoid (Black Sabbath)
