10 Basic Qualities All WWE Heels Should Possess

4. Hiding Behind Others

A simple but effective tactic to remind the audience of just how low a heel can stoop to is by hiding. Whether it's hiding behind a curtain, failing to face the music and not confronting a babyface, or even to physically hide behind a manager, these are all great ways to remind the audience which superstar should be booed. Think back to the heel days of Randy Savage, and how many times would he jump to the outside and quickly put the lovely Elizabeth or even Sensational Queen Sherri in front of him, as if they were a shield. Only a real lowlife bad guy would hide behind a woman like that and use them as if their sole purpose of existence was to to physically protect him. It's a despicable act that is sure to generate heat, and would work in 2015, too. Thankfully, managers have been making a slow comeback in WWE lately and one of their purposes is for their client to use them as bait, or to escape an attack. The heel's mentality is often that the manager should be sacrificed so that the superstar can escape. Instead of fighting honorably, a bad guy will do anything he/she can to avoid getting caught or engaging in a fair fight, and if that means putting their ally at risk, so be it. The relationship between manager and heel is often built on shaky foundation as it is, and this fits right in line with the type of behaviour that is to be expected of a heel.
