* After a [[World Wrestling Entertainment|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! For! Emphasis!|FIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRREEED!!!]]''''' as a result of Mr. McMahon's proposition}}.
