Line 29:
* On NXT Season 5, Rookie Byron Saxton wants nothing to do with his pro Yoshi Tatsu due to the latter's courtship with Maryse rather than being his pro. While the viewers are supposed to be sympathetic towards Yoshi, the fact that Yoshi's infatuation with Maryse has interfered with mentoring his rookie (To the point where it cost him a match) makes Saxon appear more sympathetic.
* The number of people who have turned heel for no other reason than because they had the audacity to be angry after being attacked and/or bullied by Stone Cold Steve Austin for no apparent reason is pretty high. Prominent examples include Ric Flair during the initial brand split who was attacked despite doing everything he could to get on Austin's good side, and arguably Vince McMahon himself, who started a nearly five year feud simply by asking Austin to be a bit less anti-social.
* Bobby Roode, since [[Face Heel Turn|turning heel]] to take the [[TNA]] World Heavyweight Championship, has seen the bad side of new authority figure [[Wrestler/Sting (wrestling)|Sting]]. Sting has tried to punish Roode for his outright [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|cheating tactics]] and [[Jerkass]] tendencies including taking advantage of injured ex-partners and practically shooting them [[In the Back]], using [[Pointy-Haired Boss|Dixie Carter]] as a shield and spitting in her face, among other assorted tactics, by making life hard for him as the champion. However, Sting in the process has taken to forcing Roode into repeat title defenses the ''Impact'' after certain pay-per-views as well as physically involved himself in world title matters. Roode is a [[It's All About Me|selfish traitor]] with no redeemable social qualities whatsoever, but he's got a point about Sting's zeal for screwing with him to get a more virtuous champion - he's even recently [[Batman Gambit|exploited that to recreate an old Bret Hart title defense]].
