Lol, no. It's more like the picture of the duck that you turn on your side and can no longer unsee the rabbit. It's something that's possibly even subconsciously there, but when it's pointed out to you it ruins it. Like people pointing out that Owen Wilson says "Wow" a lot. You start looking for it.

There are debates on these boards alone as to just how over Ryback did or didn't get. I've never been that impressed by him or his crowd reactions. That being said, I think it does work on modern audiences because of what they are conditioned to. Watching the Royal Rumble pre-show, everybody was gushing over how great Buddy Murphy is, but to me he's really boring and I can't see him having wide appeal.

I think the modern audience can be a terrible indicator of what is or isn't actually going to attract other people.

If the heel is a "cocky" heel, the matches can drag on a little more as he has a more of a "cat with a mouse" feel, playing with his prey rather than destroying it as quickly as possible like the monster heel. More posing, feinting, out-maneuvering, etc.
That's all salient, but the psychology of it is just wrong for me. Why would a scrub even dare to get in the ring with a monster heel? Shouldn't that be suicide?

This is going to be a weird example, but have you ever seen the Mortal Kombat movie? I don't know why this is springing to mind, but there's that guy that fights Goro, who is like the monster of the film. That guy isn't a fucking loser. He looks like a legit martial artist that can hold his own for a second there.

WWE just goes too corny with it with the James Ellsworths and the guys with absolutely no definition and obviously nothing at all. It doesn't even lend itself well in comparison, because even the average guy would look good compared to them. It's just very hokey to me. There are ways to do squashes that don't give the game away.
