In professional wrestling terms, a “heel” is a villain. Whether their goal is to embellish details in their promo or commit nefarious acts during a match. The heel is the Joker to the babyface’s Batman. There have been many memorable heels throughout wrestling’s history.

When it comes to those in the modern age, few fit said cliché as well as Stunt. Marko Stunt | Always Measuring Up…

On the surface, a character named “The Librarian” shouldn’t work for anyone including Peter Avalon. To a longtime wrestling fan, such a moniker may spur images of characters during the mid-90s, when personas ranging from garbagemen to hockey goons were seemingly all the rage. All Elite Wrestling decided to test the boundaries of seemingly everyday characters when they held a casting call for “The Librarian,” a character that entrants portrayed in different ways. By the end, one of the eventual winners was Peter Avalon. Those that have followed Avalon’s career will attest that he wasn’t always the uptight, sweater-wearing librarian…

When Cody Rhodes and The Elite announced the All-In event, which took place in September 2018, it was noteworthy for numerous reasons. Not only was it indicative of the thriving nature of independent wrestling. But it set a chain of events into motion that would shake the foundation of professional wrestling as a whole. Enter All Elite Wrestling, an independent promotion that was officially announced earlier this month.
