Line 226:
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* Pretty common following the standard [[Heel Face Turn]]: often the reformed heel doesn't even have to earn redemption, as it's enough that he's agreed not to be mean anymore. Lampshaded histrionically by [[Christian]] who was outraged that [[Heroic Sociopath]] [[Randy Orton]] is allowed to do whatever the hell he wants in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]. He screamed at [[Triple H]] to do something about the situation in his capacity as Chief Operating Officer, demanding to know something along the lines of "Don't you even care that this man once attacked your father-in-law and brother-in-law and terrorized your wife?!" Well, apparently [[Triple H]] ''didn't'' care.
** This can be particularly egregious in cases of tag-team matches. In these cases, seeing a total monster, who's undergone a [[Heel Face Turn]] teaming up with the same person who's life they completely destroyed a few months ago is not particularly unusual in pro wrestling.
* Subverted more often in [[TNA]], where it's more common for there to be tension between two tag-team partners when one of them has recently undergone a Heel Face Turn. Even characters who weren't evil to begin with, such as [[Sting (music)|Sting]], [[All of the Other Reindeer|are frequently mistrusted by other faces for having a mysterious agenda]].
