What I find absolutely hilarious about Pete is the sheer embarrassment of a 6'4 grown man acting like a spoiled brat. On paper, he had a massive reach and weight advantage over a 5'10 Rick, yet he couldn't even defeat Rick while Rick was actively holding back just to let the town watch Pete ruin himself.
But the ultimate peak of his pathetic nature happens in the finale.
After Pete accidentally kills Reg, Abraham instantly tackles and pins Pete down. While effortlessly held by Abraham, Pete starts frantically shouting and blaming Rick for Reg’s death. To top off the absolute comedy of this scene, Pete starts flailing his legs because he is completely trapped and can't move an inch. With that final, pathetic display, Pete is reduced from an abusive bully to a whiny toddler throwing a tantrum—a literal manchild.
The reality is that Pete cannot defeat Rick, and he especially cannot defeat Abraham; he completely unravels when faced with someone who can truly fight back. For a guy who is 6'4, he had zero real combative ability and was completely weak-willed. The moment he wasn't fighting women or children, he was entirely powerless. He got pinned like a helpless child, throwing a lethal temper tantrum until Deanna finally gave the order to put him out of his misery.
