** At Wrestlemania X-7, it took Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin a series of sixteen chair shots to the body -after a [[FinishingMove Stunner]] and another huge steel swing to the head- to finally put The Rock down for the 3 count. And moments later he [[KickTheDog nailed the former World Champion with the very title he just took from him]].
** [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]], once he attacked Wrestling/{{Kane}} with ''26'' chair shots. Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} hits Wrestling/BigShow after the latter got DQ'd with '''31''' chair shots.

* During his Iron Man match with John Cena at ''Bragging Rights 2009'', Wrestling/RandyOrton tried to '''''blow him up''''' with pyrotechnics. In fact, this is pretty much Randy's ''modus operandi'' -- other instances include that time he attacked Wrestling/{{Batista}} after he won the WWE Title from him at ''Extreme Rules'', and that time he RKO'd Wrestling/{{Christian}} ''twice'' on the announcer's table after Christian took advantage of the stipulations of their match and used it to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Note that during the latter, Randy was a ''{{Face}}''.

* Wrestling/BrockLesnar vs Wrestling/JohnCena, Wrestling/SummerSlam 2014. Cena is on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle by Lesnar, who hits Cena with sixteen German suplexes throughout the match. Lesnar even took Cena's [[FinishingMove Attitude Adjustment]], and [[NoSell laughed it off]]. As the announcers said when Lesnar won, "it wasn't even close." What makes this so notable is that Cena has a reputation as an InvincibleHero, so to see him lose so completely is very rare.

* During the pre-1990s era, a common practice to help push Monster Heels – especially large super-sized musclemen – as unstoppable, feared, bloodthirsty forces (at least on syndicated television) was to have said heel continue beating their opponent, applying a submission hold, or delivering the finishing moves multiple times to a hapless jobber long after the victory was recorded. Naturally, the heel would then grunt out that he wanted to do the same to the top babyface of the organization, thus setting up the anticipated feud.

* In ''WWE'', wrestlers who have been feuding long enough will pull off something that garners this trope. One example involves Wrestling/TheNexus beating the hell out of people, though their favorite punching bag Wrestling/JohnCena pulled this off himself at ''TLC 2010'' where after beating [[BigBad Nexus leader]] Wrestling/WadeBarrett, he pulled a table on top of him and then dropped a series of supposedly decorative steel chairs suspended by a cable on top of him.
