Line 2:
* After a [[WWE]] title match on Smackdown between [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] and the late [[Eddie Guerrero]], heel manager Paul Heyman shows up, and after delivering a bigoted speech to both Eddie and Mysterio in which he expresses his desire to see the two of them and their families deported, he rants on about his "vision" for Smackdown, and ends the speech with "...and there's not a ''man alive'' who's going to stand in my way!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KfOIr1HGtc Guess who shows up seconds later to kick Heyman's ass.]
** The cocky rant itself was tempting more fate -- the next week he was drafted to Raw and minutes later quit his job.
** A similar thing happened to William Regal during his phase as Raw's heel GM ''and'' King of the Ring, when he often blacked out the venue during fights and such. Well, with Regal on the verge of dictator, loudmouth Mr. Kennedy interrupts him asking for a fight. Regal responds, "The very next person who interrupts me, whether it be you or anyone else, will be fired on the spot." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTnR6HM3AKY Guess who is the next person that interrupts Regal.] And by the way, Regal would later lose his match versus Kennedy {{spoiler|1=''and'' get '''''[[Punctuated!
** Regal wasn't the first heel GM of Raw to meet this fate. When Eric Bischoff was the Raw GM a few years earlier, he opened Raw the night after the Survivor Series pay-per-view in an understandably bad mood as Raw's team had lost to Smackdown's team in a 5-on-5 elimination match the prior night. When nobody responded to his demand for an explanation of why they lost, he threatened to come back to the locker room area and fire whoever he saw on the spot. Cue the entrance music of [[Vince McMahon]], the one person that Bischoff didn't have the authority to fire.
* Any time a wrestler says something like "I could beat you with one hand tied behind my back!", you can bet the house that he'll be put in a match with such a stipulation.
