Line 4:
* [[Santino Marella]]. When he's not doing something to hurt/humiliate himself (like trying to mimic someone doing the splits and hurting his crotch in the worst possible way) or getting dumped when the dummy he's dating abruptly grows a brain, he's getting mauled by everyone up to and including the weakest females on the roster. It was vaguely implied his former girlfriend [[Beth Phoenix]] occasionally beat him up just for the hell of it.
** The ultimate humiliation in pro wrestling has to be when one of the ''fan favorites'' screws you over and the audience thinks it's funny. That's what happened to Santino when [[Shawn Michaels]] kicked him in the face backstage when Santino was rehearsing his "acting skills."
** Following his face turn, Santino seems to have [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] and became a more competent tag team partner of Vladmir Kozlov. Since his [[Cloudcuckoolander|overall quirkiness]] still remains, he still gets it once in while, but then again, how many comical wrestlers don't?
*** As of the 3/5/12 episode of Raw, Santino has taken another level in badass after winning the United States Championship from Jack Swagger.
* Chavo Guerrero as well. While not as great as his uncle [[Eddie Guerrero|Eddie]], Chavo's a pretty solid wrestler, but constantly gets stuck in this position. Hell, he's in a months-long feud where all he does is repeatedly job to Hornswoggle, the wrestling leprechaun.
Line 12:
** It's still in effect, even though it usually only appears at Pay-Per-Views these days, if you see it, you know it isn't surviving the night.
* For [[TNA]] it's Eric Young, at least until he pulled a [[Who's Laughing Now?]] style [[Face Heel Turn]].
* Tara could have possibly been considered one since she arrived in TNA. First she had to face ridicule from then-Knockouts Champion ODB for being a "([[WWE]]) [[Take That|Diva]]," even after beating her for the title. Afterwards, her [[Mascot|pet spider Poison]] is stolen by Daffney and only manages to get it back via an event which also leads to her losing her title in very ridiculous manner (See the [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)/Professional Wrestling|WallBangers page]] for more info) and when she does get a chance to get the title back, it's via a tag match in which she gets pinned! That in particular seemed to be the last straw as, like Eric Young above, she had pulled a [[Who's Laughing Now?]] style [[Face Heel Turn]]. Her tenure in TNA columnated in losing a career vs. title match against Madison Rayne...
** Only to return after spending about two months "disguised" in a biker outfit, win the Knockouts title in her first pay-per-view match back, and then drop the title on the ensuing edtion of Impact by BEING FORCED TO LAY DOWN FOR MADISON. And let's not even start with the majority of her run in WWE as Victoria, where she would job to anything that moves, wear ridiculous Haloween outfits, and even dance like a fool at one point with no explanation.
* Jamie Noble. Other than managing to beat up [[CM Punk]] and Chuck Palumbo, and being one of the first guys to put up a serious fight against [[Villain Sue|Valdimir Kozlov]], the last few years of his [[WWE]] career featured him getting pwned by the likes of Hornswoggle and ''Vickie Guerrero''.
