Line 34: * Invoked during the course of the ''[[Blame]]'' manga with the main protagonist, Killy, who endures many physical hardships during his journey. By the final chapters, his otherwise indestructible body is literally falling apart. * Whenever a [[Police Procedural]] does an episode involving contact sports, there's a good chance that this trope will arise, probably because someone is covering up the fact that a celebrity player is dented iron and shouldn't be competing at all. * Several of the rules in [[Mixed Martial Arts]] seem to have the intended effect of mitigating ~~this -- for~~this—for example, the lack of a standing count in MMA as well as referee stoppages (a referee is to stop a fight where a fighter is incapable of or is not "intelligently defending" himself or herself), as well as mandatory medical suspensions (in North American states where the sport is sanctioned). However, as the sport is so young there's only a few fighters who are anywhere near old enough to show this effect... although some of those from the "Dark Ages" of MMA, such as Gary Goodridge, have shown this trope to a disturbing effect. * One heartbreaking real-life versions of this was the case of pro-wrestler Chris Benoit. After his death, studies showed that his brain was comparable to that of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient (he was 40 at the time.) * [[The Undertaker]] is the same way.
