Don't know much about Lucha, but from what I can tell, the main difference is pacing and selling. Lucha is faster paced with less selling, and they make a pretty huge deal about dives.

As far as Japanese wrestling goes, it really depends on the style (Kings Road or Strong Style.) King's Road is stiffer, and used to be about two guys slowly building up to a finish (Ie, things would get more intense). Also, they learned more from their matches, so as people fought more, you'd see more reversals and counters, more kick outs, etc. However, King's Road has been bastardized, and is now responsible for your typical indy "we're going to kick the shit out of each other and drop each other on our heads, do our finishers 7 times, have a series of nearfalls/reverals, and then another finisher." So to go to WWE style would mean being less stiff, and really also working a different pace.

Strong Style is really the closest to WWE. Except traditionally, Strong Style also had more submissions, and more strikes. Probably the easiest to adapt from though. Honestly, Yoshi Tatsu and Daniel Bryan aren't that far away from Strong Style.

Japs - no selling, lots of chops.
Mexies - jumping off high things, lots of hurricaranas.
Americans - talking a lot, restholds.

that had me thinking too. wwe brought sin cara in because of his moveset, so i'm assuming he should continue to do all the moves he is famous for. if that's true, then "adapting to the wwe style" would mean punching or chopping the other guy a couple times between each move. doesn't seem that hard.

Japan - Slow, stiff ad intense.
Mexican - Fast paced and risky.
American - Entertainment and a move exhibition in matches.

Mexican wrestling is more gymnastic with an emphasis on flips and high-flying acrobatics than on impact on the opponent.

Japanese wrestling is more like an actual athletic competition between two guys who look like they're legitimately trying to hurt each other.

American wrestling is more about the story that surrounds the match than the match itself. Style-wise it's somewhere in between the other two with elements of both.

Granted these are pretty broad generalities, as there are aspects of each that can be found in all three.

Lucha Libre is guys in masks. Japanese is guys with stereotypical slanted eyes. American is guys on steroids.

Mexicans simply do not sell
Japanese have to sell when they are kicked in the face
Americans are taught to sell.....
