Line 211:
* In an example of an actual ''good'' guy doing this, [[Professional Wrestling|WWE's]] [[Eddie Guerrero]] (RIP) would do this all the time as part of his "lie, cheat, steal" gimmick. Usually he would enter into a match with a [[Heel]], promising not to cheat during the match. Then, when he won as a result of cheating and was called out on it, he would shout to his opponent, "I lied, homes!" causing the audience to roar with approval.
* This trope would also be played with when he teamed up with his nephew Chavo Guerrero. He'd tell him, "We may lie, cheat and steal, but [[At Least I Admit It|at least we're]] ''[[At Least I Admit It|honest]]'' [[At Least I Admit It|about it]]!"
* On Night of Champions 2010, [[Chris Jericho]] participated in a Six-man elimination match for the WWE Championship with a [[The Promise|personal promise]] that, should he fail to win, he will leave ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]'' for good. Naturally, when he quickly lost during the match, the 'net was in an uproar since that was not the way for someone as popular as Jericho to go... then he appeared on the next episode on ''[[WWE Raw]]'' with this little message on his [[Twitter]] account.
