"Bunny Hugged" is a 1951 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon short, directed by Creator/ChuckJones, starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. In this one, Bugs is the pet of a rather delicate pro wrestler named Ravishing Ronald who is quickly (and quite literally) turned into a punching bag by his opponent, a terrifying muscleman called "The Crusher". Bugs, seeing that his "bread and butter" is imperiled, decides to go into the ring himself as "The Masked Terror". Naturally, The Crusher is hardly bothered by the wrestling skills of a small rabbit, so Bugs decides that he needs to reach into his bag of tricks to defeat him.

* FooledByTheSound: Bugs Bunny tears his wrestling mask in half to fool The Crusher into thinking he's ripped his shorts. Bugs then disguises himself as a tailor to give him some of his usual mischief.

Here, while still a menace in strength, the Crusher is a HulkSpeak talking [[DumbMuscle simpleton]] who is outclassed the moment Bugs [[ThisMeansWar "employs stragedy"]].

This is an interesting inversion since in real life, the RealLife GorgeousGeorge was a heel.seemingly effeminate wrestlers who Ronald is based on like Gorgeous George and Buddy Rogers were top heels and tough guys like The Crusher were babyfaces in most territories.
