The example in the ProfessionalWrestling folder about Wrestling/PaulHeyman seems more about him as a real person than it is about his on-screen character (in Wrestling/{{WCW}}, Wrestling/{{ECW}}, the Wrestling/AmericanWrestlingAssociation and elsewhere as Paul E. Dangerously and under his own name in Wrestling/{{WWE}}), and the rip on the wrestler [[Wrestling/AlPoling 911]] seems more like Complaining About Shows You Don\'t Like. Could it either be removed or rewritten to be about how he manipulates wrestlers as an on-screen character, since this is a No Real Life Examples, Please! trope? Thank you.

* The soldier restrained him and [[spoiler:looked under his shirt]]. [[spoiler:America]] says he should be used to it by now. (AttemptedRape with RapeAsBackstory sprinkled in)
Then there\\\'s [[spoiler:Winter\\\'s]] reactions: She has a horrified expression (that she covers up) when Penny vaguely tells her what happened. Her voice is described as \\\"off-sounding\\\" when she confirms [[spoiler:that Penny explained the situation and she is going to help America.]] She grimaces and looks pained when [[spoiler:America]] mentions he should be used to [[spoiler:people looking under his shirt]].
Then there\\\'s the questions and responses:
* \\\"Are you in pain? Do you need medical [assistance]?\\\"
* \\\"If I may ask, has this soldier attacked you before today?\\\"
* \\\"Would you be willing to identify him and his partners?\\\"
* In response to [[spoiler:America]] refusing to identify them: (unhappily) \\\"That is your decision.\\\"
* \\\"If you tell me who was involved they will be arrested--\\\"
* \\\"Although I would like to file a report and call a squad to arrest your attackers, I understand the situation is more complicated than that. I am willing to adjust normal protocols for the time being. My superior would understand.\\\"
* \\\"I know I am a soldier and your recent... encounters with them have put them in a bad light, but I only wish to bring them to justice. I am also willing to be off the record. If you simply want a nonjudgmental ear to talk to, I am willing to listen.\\\"
Yes, all of that could refer to a physical attack rather than [[spoiler:rape/AttemptedRape]] but honestly Winter\\\'s responses melds more with her believing the latter.
Plus RuleOfDrama.
