122-549: A heel (also known as a rudo in lucha libre ) is a wrestler who portrays a villain , "bad guy", "baddie", "evil-doer", or "rulebreaker", and acts as an antagonist to the faces , who are the heroic protagonist or "good guy" characters. Not everything a heel wrestler does must be villainous: heels need only to be booed or jeered by the audience to be effective characters, although most truly successful heels embrace other aspects of their devious personalities, such as cheating to win or using foreign objects. "The role of

183-516: A low blow on his distracted opponent. Other heels may act overpowering to their opponents to play up the scrappy underdog success story for the face.

244-471: A 6-man tag team "WWF vs. SCW" elimination match which ended with Maverick turning on Otto Schwanz.

305-488: A different public image, such as The Rock 's turn from a clean-cut face to self-absorbed narcissist in the Nation of Domination heel stable, or Tetsuya Naito 's fan rejection of his babyface causing him to drastically form Los Ingobernables de Japon . The term "heel" does not, in itself, describe a typical set of attributes or audience reaction, but simply a wrestler's presentation and booking as an antagonist. Depending on

366-525: A dramatic heel is the wrestler The Undertaker , who, on many occasions throughout his career, has switched between portraying a heel or a face. During his period as the leader of The Ministry of Darkness , he appeared as a priest of the occult in a hooded black robe and literally sat in a throne, often in the shape of the symbol used to represent him. Occasionally, faces who have recently turned from being heels still exhibit characteristics from their heel persona. This occurs due to fans being entertained by

488-594: A heel is to get 'heat,' which means spurring the crowd to obstreperous hatred, and generally involves cheating and any other manner of socially unacceptable behavior." To gain heat (with boos and jeers from the audience), heels are often portrayed as behaving in an immoral manner by breaking rules or otherwise taking advantage of their opponents outside the bounds of the standards of the match. Others do not (or rarely) break rules, but instead exhibit unlikeable, appalling, and deliberately offensive and demoralizing personality traits such as arrogance, cowardice, or contempt for

671-432: A mixture of both positive and negative character traits. In wrestling terminology, these characters are referred to as tweeners (short hand for the "in-between" good and evil actions these wrestlers display). WWE has been cited as a company that is doing away with the traditional heel/face format due in part to audiences' willingness to cheer for heels and boo babyfaces. In "local" wrestling (e.g., American wrestling) it

732-478: A negative audience reaction despite their portrayal as heroes. An example is Roman Reigns , who in 2018 was a top face in WWE, but got booed in his matches while his opponents got cheered regardless of their status as face or heel, due to perceived favoritism from WWE executives and a lack of character development . Such characters often (but not always) become nudged into becoming villains over time or retooled to present

1098-553: A wrestler despite (or because of) their heel persona, often due to the performer's charisma or charm in playing the role. Certain wrestlers such as Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair gained popularity as faces by using tactics that would typically be associated with heels, while others like Stone Cold Steve Austin , Scott Hall and more recently Becky Lynch displayed heelish behavior during their careers yet got big face reactions, leading them to be marketed as antiheroes . On other occasions, wrestlers who are positioned as faces receive

1464-418: The angle , heels can act cowardly or overpowering to their opponents.

Examples include Seth Rollins during his first WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign, Charlotte during her Divas / Raw Women's Championship reign,

1525-503: The "least employee friendly boss around", due to his tendency of double-crossing his own wrestlers. Since forming the group, Mosorjak twice turned on Major DeBeers, Boris Dragoff, Otto Schwanz, Jimmy Cicero, and Venom, though many eventually rejoined the group. Mosorjak, who had been brought up in an era dominated by the National Wrestling Alliance , attempted to find a balance between his traditionalist roots and

1586-548: The Assembly, but SCW continued to blame it for its troubles. Mosorjak managed to keep the promotion running for another year or two. He was able to expand its visibility with SCW's television show being seen Greensboro, North Carolina as well a regular internet television series via ProWrestlingTV.com in October 2002. By late-2004, however, with several key shows being cancelled or postponed, Mosorjak eventually decided to close

1647-593: The Carolinas. For most of its 10-year run, its traditional "home turf" was primarily in eastern and central North Carolina.

Prior to making their WWF debut, Surge , Venom and Pain wrestled Toad, Mike Maverick, and Otto Schwanz in

2196-426: The audience. Many heels do both, cheating as well as behaving nastily. No matter the type of heel, the most important role is that of the antagonist, as heels exist to provide a foil to the face wrestlers. If a given heel is cheered over the face, a promoter may opt to turn that heel to face or the other way around, or to make the wrestler do something even more despicable to encourage heel heat. Some performers display

2257-420: The fans or city they are in (referred to as " cheap heat ") and acting in a haughty or superior manner. More theatrical heels would feature dramatic outfits giving off a nasty or otherwise dangerous look, such as wearing corpse paint over their faces, putting on demonic masks, covering themselves in dark leather and the like.

The Rebellion remained together until June 2017, when they were defeated by Search and Destroy in

2501-477: The heel gimmick. Starting in the 1940s, he invented an extravagant, flamboyant "pretty boy" gimmick who wore wavy blonde hair, colorful robes and ritzy outfits, and was accompanied by beautiful valets to the ring for his matches. The crowd widely jeered his persona, and came out to his matches in hopes of seeing him defeated. George relished this attention, and exploded into one of the most famous (and hated) heels not only of his era, but of all time. Another example of

2562-411: The ladder by Corino near the end of the match though few people saw this because the lights were still out. In addition, Corino was arrested for assault at SCW's 3rd Anniversary show in Louisburg, NC , on November 22, 1997, when police were called after Corino threw a chair at manager Dexter Holley.

At one of these shows, during a ladder match between Steve Corino and Joey Matthews, the ceiling lights were knocked out causing sparks and fire which, according to Mosorjak, resembled an exploding ring match. Mosorjak, as Count Grog, was DDTed on

2989-465: The newer style of wrestling popularized by Philadelphia 's Extreme Championship Wrestling , and later adopted by mainstream World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Federation .

3172-448: The promotion. The decision was finally made due to declining attendance and Mosorjak working extra hours his regular job in educational research. SCW, like many independent promotions, tended to run above cost requiring Mosorjak to use his personal finances to keep the promotion going and put a strain on his budget as a result. SCW held its final show, "Blowout Bash", and featured Count Grog helping Otto Schwanz defeat C. W. Anderson to become

3599-456: Was only on a part-time appearance contract with WWE. This sort of behavior supports the intended kayfabe opinion that the face (or faces) the heel is feuding with is actually more deserving of the title than the title-holding heel is. Heels may beg for mercy during a beat down at the hands of faces, even if they have delivered similar beat downs with no mercy. Ric Flair in particular has been well known for begging an opponent off, then hitting

3660-576: Was present with many of these stars at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Convention and Fanfest in Charlotte, North Carolina years later.

3721-541: Was standing behind the ring announce table talking with someone when Corino threw the steel chair at him.
