Being Bad for the Sake of Being Bad

One of the things that made Ric Flair such a great heel in wrestling is he would still cheat against really easy opponents he didn't even need to cheat against.  He cheated not because it helped him, but simply because he liked cheating.  It was fun for him to see what he could get away with.  I always liked when he pinned some jobber and still put his feet on the ropes for leverage even though you knew the jobber wasn't going to kick out anyway.

But what's even better heel behavior is when you like lying, cheating, and stealing so much that you'd STILL do it even when it actually hurts you.  I am so petty that I like to lie to my coworker about when I've been sitting in the chair at their desk sometimes.  If I HAVE been sitting in it, I lie and say I haven't.  But lying is so fun that even if I HAVEN'T been sitting in that chair, I will sometimes lie and say that I have.  And the best part is I've lied about it SO much over the years that even when I throw myself under the bus and go out of my way to say I've been sitting in that chair, my coworker STILL won't believe me!  Man, it takes some seriously hard work to get someone to distrust you SO much that they don't believe you even when you admit fault!  That's a serious level of distrust!

The Art of the Heel

American professional wrestling has split wrestlers into two primary groups since time immemorial, or at least since the days of Gorgeous George.  First there are the heels that go around and act like jerks all the time, and then there are the babyfaces who confront the jerks with the intent of ultimately teaching them a lesson in the ring after a sufficient build to a match.   In the late 80's this formula expanded from the ring to the commentary booth with commentators like Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan encouraging the jerk wrestlers in the ring to be even bigger jerks than they already were, much to the dismay of play by play commentators like Gorilla Monsoon who just wanted to call the action in the ring.  Eventually it got to the point where the heel commentators seemed even more like jerks than the heel wrestlers who were actually wrestling in the ring.  I can't tell you how much I enjoyed heel commentators and wrestlers over th...

The Foil

Before I watched wrestling, I was a fan of comedy.  I've pretty much been a fan of comedy my entire life.  Even in elementary school my parents allowed me to watch Monty Python's Flying Circus, which surprises me because a lot of its content is really not intended for small children. Still, it took me MANY many years to realize that a comedic routine is greatly enhanced with the presence of a "foil" or a "straight man" character - the regular person placed beside the crazy one just to emphasize how much the crazy person deviates from what's normal and accepted.  Gorilla Monsoon was a PERFECT foil for Bobby "The Brain" Heenan back in the days of WWF Prime Time wrestling, and to pursue the goofy and pointless art of being a jerk in daily life, finding an adequate foil of my own was a necessary requirement.   Fortunately I found out one of my coworkers could be a perfect foil.  Mostly because she refuses to give nonsense any kind of a foothold wha...

Cowardice and Victimhood

Cowardice is always a good trait for a heel character to possess.  When someone calls me out and makes me look bad by exposing my lying, I claim I'll let it slide this one time.  But even when it happens repeatedly, I just keep making that same claim - that I'll let it slide "just this once."  Even though I already let it slide several times by this point.  Clear example of somebody being too afraid to take action even though he repeatedly claimed he would. This kind of trait reminds me of Big Pappa Pump Scott Steiner at the Spring Stampede 1998 pay per view.  Despite being loaded with all kinds of muscles, it was clear that he was afraid to fight his own brother on the opposing team and he ran away during a tag match, leaving his partner Buff Bagwell in the ring to fight two men.  Good stuff with Big Pappa Pump looking that pathetic.  Certainly had me laughing. Another good way for a heel to look pathetic like that is feigning victimhood in an attempt...
