Oh, you found it already? I thought it was The Worf Effect.
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
A character who is the strongest of the team- be they Strong and Skilled, The Big Guy, etc., is often taken out early during a fight scene so to make things "fair" for the opposing side. A couple of examples that I can think of are Sips from Regular Show, who often gets literally thrown to the sidelines during an epic Chase Scene or fight scene, or is just taken out earlier than the audience would have expected him to be.
The second example that I think applies is Huey from The Boondocks. He's typically regarded as the ass-kicker of the group, but is routinely getting his ass kicked by adults.
