-->'''The Undertaker''': Is it bad for business if I'm gone or is it bad for business if you'll be gone?

* Wrestling/TripleH claims that agreeing to a Wrestling/{{Wrestlemania}} 28 rematch with Wrestling/TheUndertaker after the latter's PyrrhicVictory the previous year would be bad for business due to not wanting to end the latter's career. The Deadman asks The Game one question in response:

* On the September 3rd, 2018 edition of ''Wrestling/WWERaw'', Wrestling/ShawnMichaels claims during an in-ring segment that he stayed retired after his second Wrestling/{{Wrestlemania}} loss to Wrestling/TheUndertaker out of respect for the latter, the fans, and the business.

* On the January 18th, 1999 edition of ''[[Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro Nitro]]'', Wrestling/KevinNash would respond to Wrestling/{{Konnan}} calling him out for being in league with [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hollywood Hogan's]] "[=nWo=] Hollywood all along then later betraying him.

While this trope can be TruthInTelevision as previously described, we'd still prefer to [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease not try to catalogue real-life examples]]; sooner or later, somebody would insert examples that amounted to "every time my least favorite politicians were made to look like idiots", and then the supporters of that politician would get upset, remove those examples, and probably add examples of ''their'' least favorite politicians getting pwned in retaliation, and then the supporters of ''those'' politicians would get upset… look, it should be obvious [[FlameWar where that would end up]], and [[BanOnPolitics it's just not worth the hassle]].

* On the July 11th, 2011 edition of ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'', Wrestling/JohnCena delivers one to Wrestling/CMPunk. Punk had spent the entire promo MovingTheGoalPosts while talking over his contract to renew with the WWE and trying to win over the audience in the process. Cena comes out and hits Punk with a KirkSummation, pointing out how big of a {{Hypocrite}} Punk is before asking him this question; if you love the WWE universe so much, why are you trying to leave the WWE? Punk [[VillainousBreakdown gets furious]] and tries to lay the blame on Cena, but the fact he'd just been offered the very things he'd been complaining about Cena having and ''more'' but still hadn't gotten enough to stay in WWE renders him unable to effectively answer this. Punk would then piss off Cena, by deriding his claim of being the underdog. He stated that Cena, like his hometown of UsefulNotes/{{Boston}}, has long since become a dynasty, comparable to the [[UsefulNotes/MLBTeams New York Yankees]]. Cena, unable to argue against that claim and angered over the comparison, promptly decked him in the face.

* In ''VisualNovel/ALittleLilyPrincess'', Lavinia and Jessie [[WithFriendsLikeThese profess to be best friends]], but it becomes clear that Lavinia doesn't think much of Jessie. On Lavinia's route, Lavinia expresses a preference for the protagonist, Sara, over Jessie, noting that Jessie does not think for herself, and Jessie is thus unworthy of being Lavinia's companion. Sara then asks the following question, which leaves Lavinia at a loss for words.
-->'''Sara''': Then what reward is there for Jessie's loyalty?

** In September, Matsuri and Miyu, the captain and vice-captain of the track team, get into an argument over their SecretRelationship.

Sachi then asks Yuna this question. Yuna says it doesn't matter- [[spoiler:she doesn't want Hina to go out with either one]]- and eventually has to confront the fact that [[spoiler:she's in love with Hina.]]
