Line #3 ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill/ProfessionalWrestling


1	* During the pre-1990s era, a common practice to help push [[WrestlingMonster monsters]] – 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.
2	* Wrestling/KingKongBundy: During his mid- to late-1980s run as a monster heel, he often insisted that referees count to five (instead of the usual three) when counting the pinfall after delivering (sometimes multiple) avalanches to hapless jobbers, to push himself as an unstoppable force.
3	* Wrestling/BretHart got so agitated over Wrestling/JerryLawler's {{Heel}} shenanigans at ''Summerslam 1993'' that he wound up getting disqualified for leaving the Sharpshooter locked onto Jerry for almost three full minutes. That's longer than some TV matches last.
4	* At ''Survivor Series 1994'', Wrestling/BobBacklund locked Bret Hart in the Crossface Chickenwing for over eight minutes.
5	** This one is actually justified, since Hart didn't give up, nor did he break the hold. What was Backlund gonna do, let him go?
6	* Heels are more likely to pull this trope on regular episodes just because they can.
7	* [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] once hit Wrestling/MickFoley with '''SIXTEEN''' chair shots... Yes that's nearly half of Sheamus' total in the WWE Inc era, but Mick's hands were cuffed behind his back, and each shot was ''directly to the face and head''.
8	** 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]].
9	** [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] once attacked Wrestling/{{Kane}} with ''26'' chair shots. Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} hits Wrestling/BigShow after the latter got DQ'd with '''31''' chair shots.
10	* In Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}, "Lightning" Wrestling/MikeQuackenbush got himself disqualified by hitting his nemesis 17 times with varieties I-IV of the Quackendriver. Chikara actually has a rule against "excessive" punishment.
11	* One of Hiroyo Matsumoto's {{tag team}} maneuvers is [[AssKicksYou a butt splash on a downed opponent]] after [[CombinationAttack her partner has leaped into her arms or on her back.]] At Oz Academy's ''Stand by my Woman'', she performed this on company founder Mayumi Ozaki with Ran Yuyu and ''Wrestling/AjaKong'' latched onto her, making Ozaki suffer over three times her weight falling on her. Incidents such as this led to the ''Hiroyo Matsumoto Destroy'' meme.
12	* 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}}''.
13	* 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.
14	* Similar to King Kong Bundy, Wrestling/BigELangston used to insist the referee count to five instead of three.
15	* 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.
16	* When Wrestling/BrockLesnar began wrestling in 2002, he would follow up his F-5 FinishingMove with a constant barrage of suplexes and power bombs until the referee stopped the match.
17	* In his first couple years in the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]], [[Wrestling/JohnTenta Earthquake]] would follow up his wins by hitting another [[FinishingMove Vertical]] [[AssKicksYou Splash]] on his opponent.
