Nice Job Breaking It, Hero/Professional Wrestling


 * In 2011, CM Punk was set to Kayfabe leave WWE in July, and had an upcoming shot at the world title. (Note that this was first done in Ring of Honor, with both Punk in 2005 and Tyler Black in 2010 threatening to leave the promotion for WWE while still ROH's world champion.) Obviously, Vince McMahon didn't want this to happen, so he sat down to negotiate with Punk. Punk made a number of ridiculous and hilarious demands (he wanted his face on everything including the turnbuckles, he wanted the WWE ice cream bars brought back so that they could put his face on those too, he wanted a private jet, etc), pissing off Vince...but Vince was still willing to give him everything he wanted. Just as Vince was about to sign, John Cena walked out and confronted Punk, leading to an argument that got increasingly more heated, which finally ended with Cena hitting Punk in the face after Punk pushed his Berserk Button. A very pissed off Punk left the ring and tore up the contract, vowing not to re-sign with the company, and to take Cena's title and walk out of WWE with it. Which is exactly what he did. As The Spoony One pointed out, if Cena had just stayed backstage while letting Punk and McMahon work out a deal, the belt would have remained with the company.
 * On the October 3, 2011 epsiode of RAW All the wrestlers both faces and heels voted no confidence on Triple H being the Kayfabe General Manager. This was actually a plot by a group of heels to get John Laurinaitis installed as General Manager of RAW. Conveniently during the voting top babyfaces CM Punk and John Cena were off in god knows where. Jerry Lawler who voted "No Confidence" on behalf of the superstars actually has the audacity to complain whenever John Laurinaitis does some obviously evil shenanigans like firing babyfaces or adding harsh stipulations (that favor the heels) into matches. Once again, nice job breaking it heroes.
