Line 1:
{{trope}}
Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
* Earlier in Professional Wrestling, one of the markings of a face was that, win or lose, they'd wrestle fair while the heels would do whatever they had to in order to win. Eventually, as wrestling got [[Darker and Edgier]], wrestlers like [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]], [[Ric Flair]], and [[Eddie Guerrero]] would be massive faces for the fans despite cheating often.
* This trope was teased with at ''ECW: One Night Stand 2006'' as [[Rob Van Dam]] fought [[John Cena]] for the WWE Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom. Towards the end of the match, Cena was attacked by [[Edge]] (very much to the approval of the rapidly pro-ECW/anti-Cena crowd who shouted "Thank You, Edge!" as he departed) while Rob was out. When Rob came to, he recognized what happened and looked as if, for a moment, that he wasn't going to take advantage of the situation. The announce team (Taz and the legendary [[Joey Styles]]) yelled for him to capitalize on the opportunity and to not let his pride get the better of him. RVD then decided to shirk his pride and frog splashed Cena to win the title.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
*** The aforementioned [[Daniel Bryan]] would later subvert this trope later by cashing it in on [[The Big Show]].
