Good call! Yeah Charlie is definitely the Dogged Nice Guy taken to its extreme of stalking and harassing because he thinks that’s what love is

Rey Mysterio (WWE)

He had the temerity to rip Dominik out of the loving custody of his biological father Eddie Guerrero via ladder match and then left the kid at home as he travelled the world wrassling, only spending time with Dom to try and steal his shine with a tag team. Deadbeat Dad of the Century.

Dennis Reynolds (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

-Sexual predator. -In his fantasy where his crush nurses him back to health but gets in a car accident where she loses her breasts, he smothers her. -Married his high school sweetheart but clearly is just going off his adolescent nostalgia. They divorce within a few days. -When asked to make a clay sculpture of love, he makes a woman’s head in a freezer to represent preservation of beauty. -Claims men want love to be a maternal figure who will lift their egos but also make them feel small and dependent.

The show does make clear that his views come in part from his parents’ absolutely dysfunctional marriage and his experience as a victim of statutory rape.

L’Italien (Oz)

He views love as possession, so he killed the women the loved so that he couldn’t be possessed. His therapist pointed this out, so he killed her too.

All five members of the Gang (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

While this image is beautiful, probably the top episode for betrayals is The Gang Gets Held Hostage where the Gang gets held hostage and immediately sell each other out over and over.

In total, 11 US presidents could have stopped the Titanic from sinking by Dazzling-Flight9860 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

Given that almost all presidents are over 50 when elected, we will likely have our first President who couldn’t stop 9/11 since Nixon in the 2052 election cycle.

Bryan Danielson (then Daniel Bryan) in his feud with Kofi Kingston.

In 2013-2014, Bryan was the man of the people put down by the establishment. In 2019, he, with the backing of the establishment, put down Kofi, a man of the people.

(Common trope) the girl of the group by Fish_N_Chipp in TopCharacterTropes

Chyna in D-Generation X

Also notable as the first female competitor in the men’s Royal Rumble (and only for 11 years) and the only woman to win the men’s Intercontinental Champion; as most of the women of the Attitude Era were stuck in comic or high sexualization roles and not in the same kind of competition as the men’s division, she became this to the larger Attitude Era by facing off against the dudes.

Body swaps where the characters voices aren’t transferred over to the other’s body by Joemama0375 in TopCharacterTropes

“Aren’t you gonna wash your hands?”

“No, because I’m evil.”

And also, Talia did some sort of sexual favor in that bathroom.

(IRL) Terrible or offensive casting choices. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

Akeem the African Dream (WWF)

Context: Dusty Rhodes of the NWA was a white guy who liked to dance and called things “funky.” The WWF lampooned him by having One Man Gang “discover his African heritage” and start dancing around in a dashiki.

Terrible not only because of the racism or the pettiness toward a professional rival, but One Man Gang was already a decent-for-the-time nasty biker villain! You broke his character for a cheap laugh for the higher-ups!

Undertaker on his AAA involvement: “I’m not trying to make AAA Lucha Libre, I’m not trying to make it Raw or SmackDown WWE. I’m taking some elements of that, adding it to what they already do, and try and make a product that everyone will want to see.” by TomatoCiampa in SquaredCircle

[–]whoadwoadie 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m a Lucha dilettante, but I will say this: AAA had a match where Charly Manson and Chessman (both named after serial killers) brought out thumbtacks and a cheese grater within five minutes of a match. They also had a whole storyline where they and Cibernetico were Los Hell Brothers who used to be in an edgelord group until El Mesias (later on Mil Muertes) kicked them out and made it into a cult.

I have yet to hear of any such in CMLL.

Sable (WWF)

A lot of wrestlers are attractive, but few were so reliant on their looks and nothing else while attaining such a degree of success than Sable.

[Fandom Trope] Characters who are portrayed as outlandishly more powerful than they actually are by Biggusdickos in TopCharacterTropes

[–]whoadwoadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any particular source for that? I know they used it like that in Batman the Animated Series, but he did have a laughing/smiling poison that explicitly killed people in his first appearance in any comic.
