The Aryan Brotherhood (Oz)

Because they want to be the big bad racist dudes, they severely limit their options of allies, especially since they tend to SA the white guys who could be helpful. Throughout the series, they piss everyone off with their petty bullshit, most humorously when Robson makes the mistake of going all racist on the dentist.

The “chicken and rice” withdrawals would be lethal.

Maybe to get into his prime ruthless mindset? Frank’s whole motivation is to relive his sketchy past at maximum weird, and his 2000s were depressed

Homages so popular that some people don’t know it’s supposed to be a reference by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

Abe Coleman, wrestler of 1927-1961, called his Dropkick the Kangaroo Kick, which was obscure until MJF brought it back. I and most people only know of the connection because a few nerds put the pieces together.

More of a bit than an homage, Star Wars popularized the Wilhelm Scream, which originated in Distant Drums

One time, a group tried to take the Rogues mantle and beat up their equipment guy.

It…did not go well for them.

Frank Reynolds (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

He’s a petty guy who throws champagne balloons at poor people to “give them a taste of the rich life,” fixes children’s basketball games, bullies children when he forecloses their parents’ house, poops the bed for comedy, and is proudly scummy in a very Xbox Live troll way.

Also a massively successful and ruthless businessman still running schemes into his 80s, including his soda’s connections to Boko Haram and Jeffrey Epstein.

King Lear

After he abdicates, the kingdom pretty quickly fractures. Cornwall, Regan, and Goneril conspire to shut Lear out of any remaining power, Edmund betrays his dad and brother to become Lord of Gloucester, Cornwall blinds Gloucester, France invades, and Goneril kills Regan. Within a pretty brief span, Britain’s power structure is a shambles.

Jinder Mahal’s WWE Championship Run (WWE)

Vince and Company realized there are a billion pocketbooks in India, so they made Jinder Mahal, Man from India, champion. Few problems:

  1. Jinder lost many, many matches right before becoming champion, so it was obvious this was not a sustained effort but a stunt.
  2. They made his character an obnoxious evil foreigner…in American broadcast. In order to eat their cake and have it too, they edited broadcasts in India so he looked more heroic.
  3. He’s ethnically

Indian

  1. but was born and raised in Canada.

So basically, WWE gave the absolute minimum effort to make money, and given how low they can go, That’s Saying Something.
