    Evil billionaire/Millionaire tyrant

    The evil billionaire/millionaire tyrant character works well as a villain — due to the jealousy of the
    fans who want the things "money can't buy" for themselves which they can't afford — in contrast to
    professional wrestling's working-class fan-base. It is because of this audience that Dusty Rhodes'
    Common Man or "American Dream" was highly successful with the crowds.

    The original gimmick of this type was created by "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, which
    consequently inspired wrestlers like his son, Mr. McMahon and his family (including his son and
    daughter), "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and his daughter, Hunter Hearst Helmsley, JBL, Tiger Ali Singh,
    and most recently, Alberto Del Rio's arrogant rich Mexican aristocrat character, and stables The Four
    Horsemen, The Diamond Exchange, The Beverly Brothers, The Blue Bloods, and most recently, The
    Vaudevillains, and The Hurt Business.

    Ruthless ruler

    Similarly to evil billionaire/millionaire tyrant characters, ruthless ruler characters are mostly a
    villainous gimmick based on real-life royals, nobles, aristocrats, monarchs, imperials and empires.
    Wrestlers who originally used this gimmick include Jerry "The King" Lawler, which inspired others
    like The Sultan, King Corbin, King Booker, William Regal's arrogant royal noble English ambassador
    character and his manager Sir William, and stables The Nation of Domination, The Kings of Wrestling,
    and most recently, The Kingdom, The Undisputed Era, and The Imperium.

    Hated crime gang/Terrorist thugs/Bad guy bandits/Mafia mobsters

    Hated crime gang/terrorist thugs/bad guy bandits/mafia mobsters work perfectly well as a villainous
    stables due to real-life crime gangs, terrorist thugs, bandits, and mobsters but has become a more
    popular gimmick (partially due to being over with fans who seem to be more malicious, malevolent,
    violent, aggressive, erratic, or hostile, and seem show no respect, remorse or sympathy — especially
    when they show some profanity — to the heels, even if they are trying to be friendly, polite, or nice
    to them, especially when they are telling them they are or telling them to). These include tag teams
    Cryme Tyme, D-Generation X, The New Age Outlaws, The Disciples of Apocalypse, The Gangstas/The
    Gangstanators, FBI, LAX, Mexican America, La Familia, The Forever Hooligans, and most recently,
    Riott Squad, The Forgotten Sons, Social Outcasts, Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Aces & Eights, The Bullet
    Club, and Retribution.
