Line 164:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* This is a classic heel character in [[Professional Wrestling]]. The Honky Tonk Man made a career out of this character in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and [[Christian]] Cage was in this mode following his [[Face Heel Turn]] in TNA.
* [[Edge]] is very good at portraying this type of heel, though sometimes it's subverted somewhat when it is shown that the women who are in love with him actually ''want'' to risk their necks to save his, and even do so without his prompting (see [[Lita]] and Vickie Guerrero). [[CM Punk]] is currently (January 2010) milking this trope as part of his Charles Manson-like cult-leader character, with his skin-headed moll Serena literally ''smiling'' as he uses her as a human shield. (Depending on your attitude toward such relationships, I guess, this is either [[Nightmare Fuel]] or [[Fetish Fuel]].)
** Edge was such a coward as a heel that it wasn't unusual for him on house shows to spend up to ten minutes stalling outside of the ring before eventually locking up with his opponent.
