A Worthy Opponent (Wicked Villains Book 3)

Product Information

Usagi and the Neko ninja Chizu have progressed through this trope into Friendly Enemy and a few hints of a less professional admiration over the course of the series. This is essentially the view the Colonel has of the wild horse by the end of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, as evidenced by the scene where he subtly nods to him in respect and rides away on his own horse.

Jerry Lawler became this for The Miz up to their match in Elimination Chamber 2011. The Monday before the match, The Miz announces that Lawler's mother passed the Saturday before and gives him his deep condolences. Instead of bad-mouthing him, Miz takes the time to state that he doesn't want this passing to get in the way of their match and to have a good fight (although thanks to Michael Cole, it didn't turn out to really be a good fight). Its white limestone walls proved to be an impassable obstacle. Even Algirdas admitted that the Muscovite prince had constructed a military wonder.Armisael: You have battled the Father. You have slain more of that which you call Angels than any other. You are the one whom the Angels fear, Pilot Ikari. He is coming to do battle with you, as you are the only one upon the Earth whom he feels is his equal. Rango receives this from Rattlesnake Jake at the end of the film. "I tip my hat to you. One legend to another." Said segment was an homage to a Marvel comic where The Champion of the Universe admitted he couldn't "defeat" The Thing in a match after defeating all of Marvel's other heroes.

Shawn Michaels— nobody ever came as close to ending the Streak as Shawn Michaels did at WrestleMania XXV at that point in time, until it was broken. In the southwest, Prince Dmitry rules Moscow (3, Red), a city difficult to capture due to its enormous size. Infantry, Boyars, Knights, and Crossbowmen defend the city, but when Dmitry takes the offensive he will also construct Trebuchets and rams. Inside of Moscow is the Kremlin Fortress (4, Grey), a bulwark that is considered impregnable and is initially too strong to assail. Despite their fierce and often ruthless battles, Battler often inspires the same respect he gains for his opponents. They include Beatrice, Erika and Knox, although the first one evolves into something more. Battler tries to extend this sentiment to Bernkastel right before their final battle, but she clearly does not reciprocate it.
