*** Averted nowadays as the most humiliating moments she has had in recent times have been few and far between, most notably [[Wrestling/VickieGuerrero Vickie's]] revenge on her for getting fired, and her run-in with Creator/RondaRousey.



* Wrestling/SethRollins became this, as WWE World Heavyweight Champion no less. He's hated by every other main eventer on the show, gets his ass kicked and pinned on RAW way more than he should, and gets humiliated rather frequently. However, considering how much of a DirtyCoward SmugSnake he's been since he stabbed the rest of Wrestling/TheShield in the back and turned heel, including the manner in which he won the title in the first place, a lot of it can be seen as LaserGuidedKarma.

* In the later Wrestling/DGenerationX runs, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels fulfilled this role, often being the victim of (comical) physical abuse. This was best exemplified in the "One Night Only" DX reunion in 2007, where Shawn was attacked by both the Boogeyman and, saddest of all, '''''Wrestling/{{Hornswoggle}}'''''. It even extends to matches -- Shawn is usually the one who plays the role of RickyMorton, in which he's beaten like a bag of puppies until he makes the hot tag to Hunter and they hit their double finishers.

* [[Wrestling/LisaMarieVaron Tara]] could have possibly been considered one since she arrived in TNA. First she had to face ridicule from then-Knockouts Champion ODB for being a "(Wrestling/{{WWE}}) [[TakeThat Diva]]," even after beating her for the title. Afterwards, her [[{{Mascot}} pet spider Poison]] is stolen by Wrestling/DaffneyUnger and only manages to get it back via an event which also leads to her losing her title in very ridiculous manner and when she does get a chance to get the title back, it's via a tag match in which she gets pinned! That in particular seemed to be the last straw as, like Eric Young above, she had pulled a WhosLaughingNow style FaceHeelTurn. Her tenure in TNA columnated in losing a career vs. title match against Madison Rayne...
** Only to return after spending about two months "disguised" in a biker outfit, win the Knockouts title in her first pay-per-view match back, and then drop the title on the ensuing edtion of Impact by BEING FORCED TO LAY DOWN FOR MADISON. And let's not even start with the majority of her run in WWE as Victoria, where she would job to anything that moves, wear ridiculous Haloween outfits, and even dance like a fool at one point with no explanation.
* Miss Elizabeth, particularly for every storyline starting with Wrestling/RandySavage vs. Honky Tonk Man feud.

In both 2009 and 2010 she had only one pinfall victory that she got herself. She actually managed to capture the Divas' title from Wrestling/MickieJames...only to lose it to Melina about two minutes later. Then there's that one-sided feud with the {{Jerk Sue}}s the Wrestling/BellaTwins.

* Believe it or not, this trope also applies to WWE Chairman [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] himself! He ''never'' wins at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' (go ahead and check), was the personal punching bag of [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "Stone Cold" Steve Austin]] for a good two years, and was subjected to a seemingly never-ending HumiliationConga (having crap dumped on him, getting peed on, nearly getting blown up, etc.) when [[Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}} [=DeGeneration X=]]] took over ''Monday Night Raw'' in the summer of 2006. Granted [[BadBoss he brought it on himself a lot of times]] and on occasions often dished out as much as he took (the DX feud for example was in retaliation to an endless amount of abuse and humiliating stipulations handed to both [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels HBK]] and [[Wrestling/TripleH HHH]] after they [[DisproportionateRetribution got a little too impudent around him]]) but still his indignities often overshadow the majority of examples here.
** Vince comes off as almost heroic in these cases when you remember that this punishment he takes is completely by his own choice. Look it up, he never, ever comes out ahead in a feud. Even in the rare cases where he's the face, TheBadGuyWins. Vince pretty much says that he's a natural villain and shouldn't come out on top.
** His daughter, the Billion Dollar Princess [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Stephanie [=McMahon=]]], was also a Butt Monkey herself during much of the AttitudeEra, especially at the hands of Wrestling/ChrisJericho and [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] who never missed an opportunity to give her a verbal beatdown. One year, they even made a compilation of her [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1xvdy_stephanie-most-embarassing-moments_sport#.UbMVypz4L-q most embarrassing moments]].
* [[Characters/{{TNA}} Ken Anderson]]. In just one week, he was assaulted by: Wrestling/{{Sting}}, Sting again, Wrestling/MattHardy, Abyss, Sting again again, Sting a fourth time, Wrestling/HulkHogan, Sting yet again, and Wrestling/RobVanDam. Seems like people just can't resist beating up the asshole like Sting.
* Oh, boy, [[Characters/WWEDivas Jillian Hall]]. Hell she could even be the new trope namer, crossed with TheWoobie. Around 2007 they gave her a HollywoodToneDeaf gimmick as a TakeThat to Brooke Hogan who was trying to have a music career. When she got moved to Raw she became a joke and jobber and existed for four years being mad fun of for her bad singing. The problem was that the fact that it was supposed to be a mockery of Brooke was never really spelled out, thus it seemed like Jillian was just sent out to look like an idiot for no apparent reason and who had no idea how badly she came off to people. In both 2009 and 2010 she had only one pinfall victory that she got herself. She actually managed to capture the Divas' title from Mickie James...only to lose it to Melina about two minutes later. Then there's that one-sided feud with the {{Jerk Sue}}s the Wrestling/BellaTwins.
* Wrestling/MollyHolly circa 2002, during the 'junk in your trunk' angle where her entire existence was an excuse for people to make fun of her derriere - especially since she was Women's Champion at the time! She actually managed to make it worse by allowing it to be revealed on more than one occasion that she wore granny panties.
* Wrestling/ZackRyder seems to have been reduced to this as well in recent times, as he has been getting repeatedly pummeled by Wrestling/{{Kane}}, humiliated and used by a scheming Wrestling/EveTorres, and jobbing to wrestlers who are less popular than him (usually after a crowd-pleasing Broski Boot and a failed attempt to pull off a Rough Ryder).
** He finally gets his revenge on the 7/3/2012 edition of Super Smackdown, by eliminating Kane from the battle royal and throwing punch on Eve.
* In the lead up to the 1,000th episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'', Heath Slater fulfilled this role, with his overzealous ego causing him to run afoul of WWE legends, who are more than happy to put the One-Man Band in his place.
* A variation is Billy Gunn, if only because of how Ken Shamrock brought so much more enthusiasm to the task of beating him up than anyone else did, with no explanation ever offered.
* Wrestling/DragonGate's Naoki Tanizaki. He came from through the Toryumon training system[[hottip:*:Ultimo Dragon started a promotion called Toryumon, he later left/was forced out of the promotion but took the Toryumon trademark with him, forcing it to rename itself Dragon Gate]] and apparently someone's unwilling to let him forget it. He's been put in way more than his share of humiliating angles, e.g. being forced to wear an olympic-style speedo swimsuit and then lose cleanly to Stalker Ichikawa. Most recently, he lost the rights to his ''name'' to the former Tomahawk T.T., who's getting more of a push impersonating Naoki than Naoki ever did. And he was forced to change his name to Mr. Kyukyu Toyonaka Dolphin.
* [[Characters/WWEDivas Miss Elizabeth]], particularly for every storyline starting with Wrestling/RandySavage vs. Honky Tonk Man feud. In the process, she's been shoved to the canvass several times (and sexually harassed several times by the same man), had her wrist nearly broken by a man three times her size, was pulled into the ring by the roots of her hair by [[Wrestling/AndreTheGiant a man six times her size]] (the same man also broke her ankle at least once), was thrown across the room by an irate Savage ... just less than 15 minutes after Savage was thrown on top of her and knocking her out, was verbally abused by "Sensational Sherri," was repeatedly targeted by Wrestling/JakeRoberts for his satanic games (including being slapped, made to grovel for Savage's safety, slapped again, and nearly had a snake thrown on her to bite her!), and scandalized at least twice (including once by Wrestling/RicFlair).
