The Dragon/Professional Wrestling

In wrestling, Asskicking Equals Authority. Therefore, usually if you're going to have a Dragon, it's in a situation similar to Vince and the corporation - a Corrupt Corporate Executive as The Big Bad and his hand-picked champion as The Dragon. Some examples...
- The Rock to Vince McMahon in The Corporation
- Hulk Hogan to Eric Bischoff in the New World Order (although Hogan was more of a Dragon-in-Chief)
- The Undertaker to Vince McMahon in The Corporate Ministry
CHIKARA had a rare subversion of the Asskicking Equals Authority with the Bruderschaft De Kuerzes. The stable's top wrestler was Claudio Castagnoli, but the real mastermind behind the whole thing was Claudio's tag partner Ares.
Jack Swagger has recently played this role to Michael Cole.
