"Bunny Hugged" is a 1951 Looney Tunes cartoon short, directed by Chuck Jones, starring Bugs Bunny. In this one, Bugs is the pet of a rather delicate pro wrestler named Ravishing Ronald ("It's a livin'," the rabbit quips) who is quickly (and quite literally) turned into a punching bag by his opponent, a terrifying muscleman called "The Crusher". Bugs, seeing that his "bread and butter" is imperiled, decides to go into the ring himself as "The Masked Terror". Naturally, The Crusher is hardly bothered by the wrestling skills of a small rabbit, so Bugs decides that he needs to reach into his bag of tricks to defeat him.Features many traditional Professional Wrestling tropes.

comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ravishing Ronald is an obvious parody of OG effeminate wrestler George Wagner. His nickname of "The De-Natured Boy" is a parody of Buddy Rogers. Not to mention The Crusher is a parody of... Well, The Crusher.

Pro Wrestling Episode: This is basically a remake of a 1948 cartoon called "Rabbit Punch" that involved boxing, not wrestling. Though that short also descent to wrestling at the end.

Took a Level in Dumbass
 Bunny Hugged / int_6a4f3cf7
comment
Took a Level in Dumbass: In "Rabbit Punch", the Crusher was not only The Brute, but fairly crafty, and able to keep even ground with Bugs the entire cartoon (to the point the latter has to literally end the cartoon to claim victory). Here, while still a menace in strength, the Crusher is a Hulk Speak talking simpleton who is outmatched the moment Bugs "employs stragedy".

Squash Match: This wrestling equivalent to the Curb-Stomp Battle is what happens when Ravishing Ronald is decisively defeated by The Crusher. Bugs's challenge to The Crusher is on its way to being this when Bugs decides he needs to get more creative.

Fake Arm Disarm: The Crusher offers Bugs a handshake after the match. Despite the audience's warnings, Bugs shakes his hand back, only for the Crusher to grab the arm and bite it. Bugs being one step ahead, he actually gave Crusher a dynamite stick with a glove, which blows up in his face.

Face/Heel: Ravishing Ronald is the face [hero] while The Crusher is the heel [bad guy]. This is an interesting inversion since in real life, the seemingly effeminate wrestlers who Ronald is based on like Gorgeous George and Buddy Rogers were top heels and tough guys like The Crusher were babyfaces in most territories.
