Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Haven't see the PPV, but if it just happened yesterday, then yeah, way too soon.
Errrrr, I don't think a wrestling event counts as a "real life event," and 25 years seems absolutely excessive for anything like that.
But a day is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse. I'd say it'd need a six month or so thing.

The real life page
does say 25 years, which I agree is ludicrously long, but I don't make the rules here.
Plus Pro Wrestling examples have their own page. Still too soon to say though.

25 years is a long time. but you know what's longer? "never", as in "never live it down". that's why Volkswagen, for instance, isn't an example - no one remembers them for their work in the Third Reich. most of us on here are pretty young, so 25 years seems longer than it really is.
Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
^ But did they live it down in they eyes of those who were around at the time? Still an interesting point worth looking in to.
"No Recent Examples Please" cleanup is the place to ask or discuss this.
Pro wrestling is a scripted work, so it doesn't qualify for the Real Life limit.
As for what the length should be, take it to the thread.
25 years??? My god, that's plenty more than enough time for someone to live it down.
Seconding that it's not a real life example since it's wrestling and that the 25 yr thing is pretty irrelevant. But one day is still way too early. Minimum one month surely.
What everyone else said.
Wrestling is completely scripted fiction pretending to be reality TV as part of the whole Kayfabe thing so it doesn't count as real life.
I should have clarified in my initial response that what OP may have meant is that it's real-life backlash to an scripted airing, versus a character in a show Never Living It Down an In-Universe action.
In other words, it should be treated the same way we would treat "a show's series finale is so bad that the show will Never Live It Down" which, depending on how you consider it, might be a real life example technically.

That's not a real-life example, that's just misuse.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
^^Wouldn't that be Ending Aversion? That might be a good question to ask.
YMMV.Hell In A Cell has an example of the recent PPV of the poorly received main event. Dont we wait for 25 years for real life events?
