Line #7 PlayingWith/WrestlerOfBeasts


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character's badass cred is shown by them fighting ferocious animals head to head.
2	* '''Straight''': [[TheBigGuy Flash]] [[BarbaricBully Young]] fights a large bear, and manages to knock it out with a {{megaton\|punch}} left cross.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Flash bears the reputation of TheDreaded; He can just shoot a DeathGlare at a bear to cow it into submission.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Flash challenges a charging bear only to [[DeadlyDodging side step so it falls off of a cliff]]. Still a sign that he is a competent and cunning fighter but less physically intense than typical.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Flash is a game warden, zookeeper, rancher, or in any other occupation that requires working with or will involve large, dangerous animals at some point.
7	** Flash is just that strong.
8	* '''Inverted''': [[FriendToAllLivingThings Flash]] is introduced nursing orphan baby bears.
9	* '''Subverted''': The "bear" that Flash was wrestling is actually a domesticated breed meant to be docile and submissive while looking fierce.
10	* '''Double Subverted''':
11	** While that particular breed of bear is docile and submissive. Flash is wrestling a particularly aggressive specimen of that breed.
12	** Just because the bear is docile and submissive, it doesn't mean that it's weak. It's still an extremely strong animal.
13	* '''Parodied''': Bear wrestling takes place in a ring complete with the bear wearing a singlet and the bear himself honoring the referee.
14	* '''Zig Zagged''': Flash can take on a bear, but a tiger would be too much for him.
15	* '''Averted''':
16	** Flash doesn't fight bears.
17	** Flash gets his ass predictably whooped against a bear.
18	* '''Enforced''': An EstablishingCharacterMoment for TheBigGuy.
19	* '''Lampshaded''': "Holy shit, did he just whoop that bear's ass!?"
20	* '''Invoked''': ThoseTwoGuys [[Fiction500 Harry Oswalt]] and [[CasanovaWannabe Eddie Roque]] prank Flash by shoving him into the bear enclosure, fully knowing that Flash would make a comical spectacle of himself by punching a bear out.
21	* '''Exploited''': Flash uses the newfound fame of beating up a bear to pose himself as TheDreaded; If he can take on bears ''and win'', then nobody would want to mess with him at all.
22	* '''Defied''': Flash refuses to fight a bear, he's either not crazy (if he's weaker) or hates hurting animals (if he's stronger).
23	* '''Discussed''': ???
24	* '''Conversed''': ???
25	* '''Implied''': Flash wins a wrestling championship with no prior experience and it's mentioned that his previous occupation was as a ranch hand.
26	* '''Played for Laughs''': Flash manages to knock out the bear with a powerful left cross... While screaming his lungs off with the biggest OhCrap expression, and [[PottyFailure almost wetting himself]] while fighting said bear, much to the awe of everyone wondering how the hell did this 6'4" JerkJock somehow end up in the bear enclosure.

28	Fight off a pack of wolves and a lion as the WrestlerOfBeasts.
