* Alternatively, Mick could be a rare ''male, older'' version of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, showing up whenever he's bored to fix things in hopes of becoming less bored. Also, wasn't that lost ear reattached?

He's already expressed wanting to turn heel back in 2006, but the writers/Powers That Be wouldn't let it happen. And thus he had to continue his face run in his current gimmick. So he's trying to downplay himself as subtle as possible to make his opposition look better. Whether if he's resorting to poop jokes or making himself look as [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadAss less bad ass as possible]], if the crowd refuse to cheer for him no matter what he ([[JerkassDissonance or his opponent for that matter]]) does, maybe he could turn (back) heel and do something different for the character. The problem? Women and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids children]] continue to eat it up. Now, the writers decided to embrace the idea, making him as [[LighterAndSofter kid-friendly]] as possible (Including the FU becoming the Attitude Adjustment), and now his latest apparel is orange ([[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything like a]] [[Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} certain television network]]). Cena posing with his haters after winning at [=WrestleMania=] is the closest thing he could get to doing actual heel work in his current gimmick. For all of his efforts to force a FaceHeelTurn, Cena's attempts [[SpringtimeForHitler have backfired]] miserably

Now that he had the VENGEANCE he always wanted, he - like so many normal humans - realised that he had not thought further than the culmination of his revenge which exposed his otherwise rather meaningless life. He has nothing to go to, no normal life (any chance of that dying with Lita betraying him) to retire to, no hope for a peaceful rest, the demons of his life forever haunting him. This tragic realisation is also why the same being that could dominate the legendary Undertaker got completely outsmarted and outmatched by Wrestling/{{Edge}} and explains his seemingly out-of-character promo about him loving holidays and other mortal stuff in that mold since the power that his desire to destroy The Undertaker gave him had virtually left him and the Kane who, like most humans, just want to be content with life emerged.

Friends again, the two hug after the match. By the way, it's a handicap match pitting two of Andre's (now-)former Heenan Family members, Wrestling/{{Haku}} and Wrestling/RickRude, and another former friend ... BROTHER LOVE!!! (The story being that Wrestling/BobbyHeenan decided to hide from Andre and convinced Brother Love to take his place.) The match is somewhat similar to a 2-vs.-3 tag team match Hogan and Andre had with Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy and Bobby Heenan at the Philadelphia Spectrum several years later. In the end, Andre has one last run of glory ... after Hogan hulks up while being kicked by Brother Love and knocking the preacher down, he tags Andre in and Brother Love – still wearing his glasses(!) – is headbutted so hard he starts bleeding. Brother Love squeals out once he realizes he's been busted open and his glasses are broken, and Rude and Haku rush in but Hogan catches them both and after knocking their heads together shoves them into a corner, where Andre is waiting with Brother Love. After Hogan uses Andre as a battering ram to squash all three heels, and Haku and Rude get one last noggin knocker before tumbling from the ring, Hogan whips Brother Love, who catches Andre's chop. One last senton later, Brother Love is broken in half and a pinned, beaten man. Hogan waits outside the ring and some more faces come to the ring to applaud as Andre soaks in huge cheers ... knowing it may be the last time he ever hears them as an active wrestler ... just as Rude and Haku look back as they're carrying a bloody, half-conscious Brother Love back to the locker room, and a catch of smiles (despite still selling their defeat and injuries) across their faces, knowing they all had one last chance to work with a legend. (Thankfully, Andre was still around another year or so in the WWF, but this is a last hurrah that (sadly) never was that could have been and given justice to his long career.)

From crooked referee to the World Heavyweight Champion ... Davis somehow defies the odds – i.e., with complete help from manager Wrestling/JimmyHart and the Hart Foundation – to pull the upset of upsets and defeat Wrestling/HulkHogan for the championship. It happens toward the end of the Hart Foundation's WWF Tag Team championship run (in the late summer of 1987) but after the Wrestling/HonkyTonkMan wins the Intercontinental Championship; for the sake of the angle, Wrestling/SherriMartel (the new Women's Champion), so with Hart also managing the Glamour Girls (Lelani Kai and Judy Martin) as WWF Women's Tag Team Champions ... Hart goes on an incomprehensibly estatic spiel about how now he's managing ''every WWF champion possible''!!! "All of them!!! Hahahahaha!!!!" and there is this huge celebration (with Wrestling/JesseVentura (naturally) egging them on and joining right in). As for how Davis wins the title, it's on the flagship show ''WWF Superstars of Wrestling'' where Davis is just getting completely squashed, a rarity for Hogan at this time, as he doesn't even need to "hulk up" (except at the beginning of the match, where Davis tries to jump Hogan from behind) ... he just completely batters Davis before putting him in his old backbreaker move (a move he never used since his early heel days) when Jimmy Hart distracts the referee and Bret Hart knocks Hogan out with the megaphone; a bloody and battered Davis is barely conscious as he is draped over an unconscious Hogan for the unbelievable three count, and Hogan has to be carried out on a stretcher. (Ventura cackles evily at Davis winning, noting that Wrestling/VinceMcMahon and WrestlingBrunoSammartino never gave Davis a chance, while the face announcers wonder how this miscarriage of justice can possibly be upheld.) The celebration, of course, is short-lived as Hogan completely dominates the rematch two weeks later and regains the championship; Davis does defend his title at a couple of house shows and even once at one of the big arenas (the three were Tito Santana, Ricky Steamboat and George "the Animal" Steele), losing each of them either by countout or disqualification.
