Line 9:
* Jimmy Jacobs. My God, Jimmy Jacobs. Who would have thought the same person who wore furry boots and played a giant for laughs would turn out to be a complete psychopath who would ''hang a bleeding Jay Briscoe from the ceiling'' and ''shower in his blood''?
* Melina Perez (fits it more as a Face than when she's heel) walks down the ramp smiling and waving to the fans but when the bell rings she is an aggressive screamer who goes to the limit.
* For a good face example, look at [[Eve Torres]]. Sweet, happy girl who looks [http://www.redhotdivas.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/evepower.jpg so much like Wonder Woman]{{Dead link}} I'm surprised DC hasn't threatened a lawsuit. However, if you push her one inch too far, she will put her Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training to good use and will snap you into several little pieces. Check out her [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] to [[The Miz]] and her attempts to climb over [[Michael Cole]]'s "Cole Mine" after he dumps on her matches a little too much. Similar things could be said of [[Natalya Neidheart|Natalya]], [[Beth Phoenix]], and [[Gail Kim]].
* Prior to his 1987 heel turn, [[Andre the Giant]] very much fit this trope, with many announcers referring to the big guy as a gentle giant. Whenever a heel crossed his path and used devious means to try to take him out, Andre became brutal and used his aggression to make the bad guys regret their moves. Famous examples came with Killer Khan, who was thoroughly beaten in a legendary stretcher match (the objective being to injure the opponent so severely they need to be taken out on a stretecher) at the Philadelphia Spectrum; and Big John Studd and Ken Patera (after the two knocked Andre out and cut his hair).
** As part of the Andre-Studd feud, Andre once appeared on the WWF's ''Tuesday Night Titans'' (a takeoff of ''[[The Tonight Show]]'') to discuss his feud with [[Vince McMahon]]. When McMahon persisted with questioning about Andre putting his career on the line vs. Studd's $15,000 at the first WrestleMania, a clearly annoyed Andre (who did his best to keep his temper and smile) grabbed McMahon by the necktie and told him he would fight the WrestleMania match on his terms before walking off the set.
