* American Professional Wrestling has had a few examples of the trope, a notable one being Brian Pillman calling Kevin Sullivan (wrestler and writer) "bookerman" and walking off during a match. Also see examples ([[Goldust]], Beaver Cleavage) of wrestlers on air refusing to keep playing some lame gimmick (in Beaver Cleavage's case, a 50's schoolboy with a creepy attachment to his mother) and berating the writers for it. Though these are usually scripted rages, they more than likely have a basis in fact. After Brian Pillman's "feud" with the WCW writers, he actually left for real.
