Um... it is not that it will have to "get past Fast Eddie" as "be up to the Trope Repair Shop participants' standards."  And this title is not.  I know ''most'' people will probably get the trope/joke, but there is no way it would be clear to someone who has not seen the movie.  And people who ''have'' seen it/get the reference will likely misuse it.  In fact, I am not sure if this trope is "DisproportionateRetribution for losing a game/match" or "losing on purpose to avoid DisproportionateRetribution from the other person."  Both are perfectly legitimate tropes, but also two distinctly different situations.  Also, both are about ''events.'' Not specific characters.

That is why Fast Eddie's sig has "Acceptable: Clear" and the pages like CharacterNamedTrope were made.

Also, there is [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13291783440A86597600 a thread people should read through]] because of possible changes to YKTTW.  Mentioned in there is how people wish they did not have to make so many re-names.
