Should there be a "no real life examples please" or did no one think to add them?

Don't the CM Punk and Vince McMahon examples fit better on Married to the Job? Especially since Punk isn't particularly fond of WWE and mainly went to work their because he had an agenda, wanting to "change" it for the better? La Felina, by contrast, left walked out of WWE out of frustration but kept working for other wrestling companies and tough she has no other hobbies has no problem finding or keeping boyfriends. That seems more like a proper workaholic.

This was mentioned earlier (archived discussion) but the page description talks about people who work at a job they hate. This is not what it means to be a workaholic, ie. someone who compulsivly does more work than they have to. Most of these people don't mind or even enjoy working long hours and more often than not LIKE their kobs. Fortunatly most of the examples appear to follow this deffinition.
