The Getting Over series aims to detail the psychological rules that the world of pro wrestling has developed over the past 100 years to draw the biggest houses and biggest fan reactions possible.Rule No. 1 - Its all about the money Rule No. 2 - Fans will hate a heel more if he can make them respect him Rule No. 3 - A baby face should be billed as a believable underdog Rule No. 4 - Always exaggerate, even when the truth is impressive Rule No. 5 -?A heel should have no redeemable qualitiesOne of the most memorable heel turns in pro wrestling history occurred when Larry Zbyszko betrayed Bruno Sammartino by attacking him with a chair following an exhibition match in 1980.Zbyszko had been sold to fans as Sammartinos real-life protégé, and it was easy to believe it because it was true. Sammartino had taken Larry Whistler (Zbyszkos real name) under his wing nearly a decade earlier, training him and then guiding him through his early years in the business.This opened the door for a highly compelling student-betraying-the-teacher storyline, but what really turned this into a white-hot feud was Zbyszkos adherence to the next rule in the Getting Over series.Rule No. 6:?A heel uses flawed logic to justify his actionsWhy it worksMost people want to be liked and therefore normally wont do things that would make others dislike them. Because of this tendency, when the time comes to cross the Rubicon and do something that will cause them to not be liked, people will aim to find any way to justify their actions -- even if it requires flawed logic to do so.This justification might work, to an extent, when telling a white lie, but when it is done in conjunction with the types of actions a pro wrestling heel partakes in, it comes across as excusing dirty deeds -- and it tends to infuriate audiences who see the malevolence for what it is.In Zbyszkos case, his character was jealous of Sammartinos talent, fame and fortune. Zbyszko was also afraid to confront Sammartino, because he knew deep down that Sammartino was the better wrestler.The logical way to handle this situation would be for Zbyszko to accept these disparities and be thankful for everything Sammartino did for him, but Zbyszkos character couldnt accept that. Instead, he found a way to get Sammartino to take on an exhibition match that was supposed to be a friendly test of skills that Zbyszko convinced himself he could win.When that match didnt go in Zbyszkos favor early on, he no longer had an honest out. At that point he had to make a choice -- accept a humiliating defeat or find an illogically flawed alternative, the latter of which presented itself after Sammartino accidentally threw Zbyszko from the ring following a clinch. This provided Zbyszko the opportunity to get mad at Sammartino and justify his betrayal, a justification fans rightfully saw as a flimsy excuse to turn on his mentor.No good deed goes unpunishedBy the mid-1980s, Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes had been feuding for various regional and world titles for nearly a decade.That should have made any disagreement between the two unsurprising, but Flair found a way to incorporate the flawed logic rule into their quarrel following a cage match Flair had against Nikita Koloff in September 1985.Flair had just defeated Koloff to retain the NWA world heavyweight championship when Ivan Koloff ran into the ring and proceeded to assist Nikita in a double-team attack against Flair while Kruscher Khruschev guarded the ring door.Rhodes ran down to break up this mugging and cleared the ring with a set of Bionic Elbows.Flairs character should have been thankful to be saved from such a beating, but he and The Four Horsemen didnt see it that way. Instead of thanking Rhodes for his efforts, they proceeded to attack him, lock the cage and then break his ankle.These actions caused what Flair said was a [legitimate] full-scale riot among the fans at the arena that night, so its all that was needed to assure a string of sellouts across the country -- but Flair went even further by finding an illogical way to justify those actions.Flair didnt mind getting rescued from an assault, as The Four Horsemen had done that type of thing for him on many occasions, so he had to call out Dusty for sticking his nose into Flair and the Andersons own personal business. The way he saw it, Rhodes wasnt part of his gang and therefore should have known better than to try to help him out. In Flairs mind, the attack was simply a way to drive that point home, but the fans saw it as his being ungrateful for the help, and it served to move Flair to the top of the most hated list.Might makes rightThe illogical justification also applies to a longtime staple of televised pro wrestling -- the squash match.This type of bout typically features an average-sized person versus a powerhouse behemoth in a battle that often doesnt last for more than a minute.These types of matches dont happen in real fighting sports because of the use of weight classes, but pro wrestling isnt interested in fair fighting -- its interested in getting a reaction from the audience, and nothing does that better than an unfair fight.Its why promotions over the years have showcased mismatches like The Road Warriors vs. Bill & Randy Mulkey (the ultimate jabroni tandem),?Brock Lesnar?sending both Bo Dallas?and Heath Slater ?to Suplex City and?Braun Strowman?obliterating a trio of jobbers who likely couldnt have matched his weightlifting prowess if they combined their lifts.These contests highlight the illogical idea that might should make right -- a mindset that understandably drives fans to want to see these bullies get their comeuppance.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- No longer the NBAs surprising overachievers, Damian Lillard says the Trail Blazers need to stay true to the process.Portland went 44-38 last season despite losing four starters to free agency the previous summer. The team got the fifth seed in the Western Conference and played past the injury-depleted Los Angeles Clippers into the second round of the playoffs.With greater expectations, the Blazers embark on this season hoping to build on the last.Its something well have to continue to push ourselves to do, but I think we just grow on what we started last year, Lillard said. You continue to stay true to the small things that we committed to last year and get better that way. I dont think you come back and say, `Its a new year, lets go change this and change that.The Blazers fell to the Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals, and this season Golden State again looks to be the team to beat with the addition of Kevin Durant. The Blazers counter with a deep bench and should vie again for the Northwest Division title.We have a lot of players who can have an impact to finish games. The first three years, we were relying on the starters. Last year, the depth was versatile and helped us get through the season, and we improved on that this year, coach Terry Stotts said. We look at the season as a continuation of last season.Lillard averaged a career-high 25.1 points in the regular season, becoming the third Portland player ever to average more than 25. He also averaged 6.8 assists.Backcourt teammate CJ McCollum averaged 20.8 points in his first year as a starter, giving the Blazers their first backcourt duo with an average of 20 or more points apiece in a single season. He was named the leagues Most Improved Player.Mason Plumlee returns as the starting center, with Al-Farouq Aminu at power forward. Maurice Harkless and offseason addition Evan Turner have been competing in training camp for the other starting nod.Other things to consider as the Trail Blazers prepare to open the season:NEWCOMERS: Portland signed Turner and free agent forward Festus Ezeli, while trading for guard Shabazz Napier and rookie forward Jake Layman. Ezeli played last season for thhe Warriors and averaged seven points and 5.dddddddddddd6 assists.Turner, who agreed to a four-year, $70 million contract, is adjusting to his new team in the preseason. Last year with the Celtics, the 6-foot-7 wing averaged 10.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists as Bostons sixth man.Lillard recently offered Turner some advice: I said to him, `Dont worry about what this person thinks or what that person is saying. We want you to play. Youre a playmaker and you score the ball. ... We need you to play off your instincts. Thats what you do well. Thats what you do well in practice. We want you to do it in a game so we can adjust to what you do and learn that way instead of you trying to get used to us all the time.ROAD TRIP!: The Trail Blazers once again embarked on a preseason team-bonding excursion to San Diego. The trip south was started by Lillard and McCollum in 2015. The team worked out at San Diego State and shared meals. I always knew they were cool guys and they had good chemistry, Ezeli said. But I didnt know the team was this tight.DEFENSE: Stotts has always emphasized defensive improvement, and this season is no different. The Blazers ranked 20th in the league for points allowed per game, 16th for opponents field-goal percentage and 17th for opponents points per shot.INJURY UPDATE: Center Meyers Leonard has returned to the court ahead of schedule following shoulder surgery. Noah Vonleh has also returned from a procedure on his thigh. But the Blazers continue to wait on Ezeli, who had a left knee procedure in August. There is no timeline for his return, and the Blazers are acting cautiously.MULTITALENTED: Lillards first rap album The Letter O was released Friday. Lillard, who musically goes by Dame D.O.L.L.A., worked with artists including Jamie Foxx, Raphael Saadiq and Lil Wayne. His first single is the song Hero, with Saadiq. Lillard has been involved with music since coming to the Blazers: He hosts the popular freestyle challenge (hash)4BarFriday on Instagram, and the video for his song Bigger than Us premiered on TNT in January.
