			'''Wrestleman''' is a term used to refer to [[Strong Bad]], based on his resemblance to a [[Lucha libre\|masked wrestler]].

			[[Strong Bad\|Strong Bad's appearance]], initially meant to emphasize his role as a villainous opponent for [[Homestar Runner]], was greatly influenced by masked wrestlers ([[retroCRUSH Interview\|particularly]] the "Strong Bads" team from the [[NES]] game ''[[Tag Team Wrestling]]''). This can most prominently be seen in the early [[Toons\|toon]] [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. The focus of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)\|Homestar Runner]] toons soon shifted away from such athletic competitions, with Strong Bad's appearance specified to be [[some kinda robot\|his face rather than a mask]] and wrestling appearances becoming vanishingly rare, but the origins of his design live on through this appellation.
