Line 6:
* As [[Wrestler/Raven|Raven]] put it, "There's a reason why [[Ric Flair]] keeps getting [[Face Heel Turn|turned face]] - who wouldn't want to party with the Nature Boy?"
* As of early 2010 [[Chris Jericho]] has been doing a form of this on WWE NXT, a show where eight "rookies" are paired with a "pro" mentor as they wrestle in hopes of winning a WWE contract. On the first episode he was rather displeased at his rookie Wade Barrett's verbal sucking up when introducing Jericho, but when it was Barrett wrestling on the fourth episode, Jericho at ringside went well above and beyond to put his rookie over, leading to this amusing exchange with the commentators as Barrett ground down his opponent that got Internet fans cheering:

'''Josh Matthews:''' I was just telling Cole the same thing, that you just said--"
'''Jericho:''' "You better be, pay attention--"
'''Matthews:''' "I told him--"
'''Jericho:''' "Say something!"
'''Matthews:''' "I know I... just did."
'''Jericho:''' "Do your job!" *slams table and stalks off*
'''[[Michael Cole]]:''' "Yeah, say something!"
'''Matthews:''' "He hates you!"
'''Cole:''' "Me?"
'''Jericho:''' *walking from the table* "Talk about Barrett!"
'''[[Michael Cole]]:''' "We are!"
'''Jericho:''' *turns around* "MORE!" *has to suppress a grin, while Cole and Matthews openly LOL on-air* }}
* Back in '08-'09, they were trying to turn [[Randy Orton]] into a [[Complete Monster]] by having him vicously attack his opponents family members, and then punting them in the skull. Except he was cheered when he did it to [[John Cena]]'s father, and when he did it to the McMahon family while [[Triple H]] was handcuffed to the ropes, he got what was probably the loudest pop of the year (''especially'' when he attacked Stephanie). Rumours were that the angle with him and Legacy was meant to have Ted [[Di Biase]] turn face but the fans rooted for Orton anyway which had him being booked as a face despite retaining many of his heel characteristics. Although he did team with [[John Cena]] and [[Triple H]] in a couple of matches seemingly laying his differences aside for them.
