Seriously though, why don't heels do heel stuff anymore?

remember when the refs back would be turned, and a heel would reach into their tights and pull out a foreign object(maybe a roll of hard tape or brass knucks), clock the opponent, then hurriedly stuff back in their tights while the ref turns around and counts for the pinfall. :banderas:

Or a manager like Mr Fuji would distract the ref, slide his cane into the ring under the bottom rope and Demolition would hit the opponent with it then throw it out the ring and get the pinfall. :banderas:

Or like when Andre the Giant was the Million Dollar Man's bodyguard at WM 4, and he knocked the sh*t outta Hacksaw when the ref wasn't looking and Dibiase got the pin. :wow:

This is tried & true character building 101. Everyone saw what happened except for the ref, which makes it more infuriating to the crowd. It's apart of the fabric of wrestling no matter what era it is. It's like they want ppl to be a heel but still be liked.

That's cool if it's someone like Stone Cold, but a true heel should be hated and behave as such.

They probably stopped doing it because it's not realistic for everyone to see what happened except the ref. But it was a great part of a heel's schtick and the E should think about bringing this dynamic back.

I was having a conversation with a non-wrestling fan the other day about the sport/spectacle. This is definitely a part of the "suspension of disbelief" a wrestling fan needs to carry into a pro wrestling event. Yes, it flies in the face of logic but so does housing a locker room of men with personal beefs who decide the only time they'll take it to each other is in that very ring.

Is it realistic for Cena to kick out of 15 Lesnar suplexes? Come on...

I can believe that before I would believe a referee falls for the same bait that the heel wrestler/manager gives them every time. Especially a ref who has officiated the same wrestlers matches over and over again.
