And the semantics of the word "clean" frustrate me. Basically, I think if a wrestler wins their match because they have done something proactive -- it is something clean enough. By heel standards, especially. If a heel yells at the audience for too long and then a babyface rolls him up -- is that a clean victory? The heel was distracted and not paying attention. The good guy clearly took advantage of a moment of opportunity. It's just about how you look at it, of course.
I ran into opposition from Tedious when I suggested Axel beat Triple H "clean." What I meant was that Triple H's mounting injuries would get to him, Axel would jump on them, and people would be concerned about Triple H. To me, a heel seeing weakness and jumping on it is "clean" by their standards. The only thing cleaner would be if they had caused the injury themselves. But they can't help that faces are stupid and enter situations they probably shouldn't.
