WWE currently has twelve championships that they recognize: Raw. Smack. Down. NXTTropes associated with WWE: Aborted Arc: Happens not infrequently, owing to many storylines only being developed as they go along rather than pre- planned in their entirety; plus they are played out in a volatile live environment where participants can get injured mid- arc or otherwise fall from favour. Plots can be dropped abruptly due to an unfavourable initial response from higher- ups (like Vince Mc. Mahon), a change of writers, or unexpected audience reactions sending the wrestlers involved onto a different path or even through the Heel. And then there's the Big Show who, when he's on top of his game, has a knack for pulling off feats that a 5. Action Girl: About half of the Divas qualify. For the other half, hope they are not being pushed as wrestlers. Affably Evil: Mick Foley, especially in his early years as a psychotic wrestler with multiple personas. All American Face: Hulk Hogan, Sgt. Subverted with Kurt Angle, JBL, and Jack Swagger. Torrie Wilson dressed up as Uncle Sam (top hat, striped coat, and bow tie) to promote the 2. Great American Bash (although this was clearly Fanservice more than anything else). John Bradshaw Layfield tried the same thing the following year - but it didn't go over as well. While it was normally subverted by Kurt Angle, it was played very straight whenever he made a Heel. Slaughter even BARKED OUT THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE to a roaring crowd. Alliterative Name: Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Mike . Most notable being Triple H, who started in the WWE as an upper- class blueblood, but since that is no longer his gimmick, his finisher (The Pedigree), his hometown (Greenwich, Connecticut), and even his ring name (. Though he really does live in Greenwich (but contrary to his original gimmick, wasn't born there, actually hailing from Nashua, NH). Even more glaring is The Undertaker, who, in what is currently portrayed as an at- least- semi- realistic combat sports league, is Death himself. The name of his finishing move - the .

Go home show for the Royal Rumble featuring Brock Lesnar on the Highlight Reel on WWE RAW on January 18.![]() Goldust would use a jumping butt attack (a butt- butt, the name is most associated with 1. Verne Gagne with his AWA was the wizard behind most of the 8. Superstars. The Attitude Era was dominated by ex- WCW guys whom Eric Bischoff fired because he thought they couldn't draw. The 2. 00. 0s drifted away from WWE's southern base to incorporate some East Coast names. Later, the company primarily poached ROH wrestlers. Attack of the Political Ad: In 2. Mick Foley thought the big giant screens seen at political conventions resembled the Titantron, and since politics was, in his eyes, an imitation of WWE, he figured maybe WWE could imitate politics. This resulted in a pitch to Vince Mc. Mahon for an angle where Randy Orton would do political attack ads against Mick Foley. So it's no surprise those types are often the champion. Just ask Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H, to name a few. When you're wrestling in front of 1. And the extra padding comes in handy when taking bumps. Philosopher Kevin Nash spelled it out in his inimitable style. Are you going to watch a porno movie with a guy with a three- inch dick? Hulk Hogan followed this basic outline, but in being the megastar he was, he set the mold and was the true prototype of a patented Vinnie Mac babyface superman: Goofy, wins often, rainbow- colored merch, spouts slogans. Vince doesn't care much for high spots (. When they do appear on Raw, it usually involves said Cruiserweights doing Heavyweight spots (suplexes and holds). Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, and Rey Mysterio Jr. John Morrison seems to have figured out how to game the system, too. Evan Bourne is terrible at it. Most conspicuous of all was X- Pac back when he was being pushed; a series of neck injuries forced him to wrestle like a big man, despite his small stature. NXT has a little more leeway when it comes to this style. This is probably one of the few that can be justified; Hayabusa once missed a springboard moonsault and didn't walk for a decade. Vince's strong dislike of high flying moves makes a lot more sense when you factor in corporate liability and teaching kids (many of them underage) to try these lethal moves in their backyard. And then, there is always Benoit.. Also applies to people under Vince. Triple H often has the same mindset as Vince but also has called for . Harley Race originated the gimmick of wearing an ermine cape and crown, sometimes accompanied by a . Sherri went all Lady Macbeth and attacked Macho . Sharmell would claim the scepter while married to winner Booker T. Bad Boss: Vince Mc. Mahon. In fact it's the entire premise for his onscreen persona. Before Vince, there were no heel bosses. Eric Bischoff also deserves credit for turning heel after a run as WCW's milquetoast commentator; though his position as Exec Producer of WCW was inside knowledge, his heel turn made it official, and he 'took over'' WCW with the help of his stable, the New World Order. This is what inspired commentator Vince to do the same. Eric, as RAW general manager, better fit this trope — as did Paul Heyman as both Smack. Down general manager and ECW chairman. Longtime Smack. Down general manager Teddy Long, however, is an inversion: He tolerates no disrespect or Loophole Abuse by the heels. Badass: WWE's resident go- to Badass is Mark Calaway, better known as The Undertaker (see his Crowning Moment Of Awesome entry). Come Hellfire or Vince Mc. Mahon, this man lives for the fans, and he's respected for it. Badass Beard: Triple H, Shawn Michaels (Of the Perma- Stubble variety), The Undertaker, Randy Savage, .

Up to Eleven by paying off a bewilderingly diverse Carnival of Killers (Shelton Benjamin, the Spirit Squad, Chris Masters, and Umaga just to name a few) to either convert to Mc. Mahonism, rid WWE of D- Generation X, or both. In fact, practically every heel on RAW (and even some from Smack. Down! Mc. Mahon. Bilingual Bonus: Sometimes people such as Rey Mysterio Jr. Inadvertently inverted by Maryse on the 0. RAW: she and Ted Di. Biase received a piece of paper with . Maryse read it in French first, saying: . Very few even come close to being full- time heroes like Tito Santana and Rey Mysterio. Black and White Morality: Doesn't stop most feuds from being presented as this, though. The '8. 0s/Hulkamania era is probably where this was played the straightest, with all the faces essentially being portrayed as real life superheroes and all the heels being played like real life supervillains, with very little room for ambiguity. Black and Gray Morality really took off in the Nineties, when anti- heroes and the Heel. This has been averted bysomethough. And in a sense, the current title holder(s), as it puts a giant bullseye on their back as they want it for their own. Breaking the Fourth Wall: It's extremely rare that they actually do this, rather than just Leaning on the Fourth Wall, but it finally happened (pretty much) in NXT season 3.
