i will never forget them for firing Bray Wyatt and Rusev... and i miss Samoa joe too....in wwe

[@martaviouspaul7117]

I can never forget when wwe released Bobby Lashely in 2007 I was heartbroken 🤣

[@dtanobo]

My boys RVD and Dolph Ziggler

[@NcWcN1]

I'd add Road Dogg (2001) in the list. Also down to personal issues.

[@KickItGoodAlex]

Had no idea Daniel Bryan got fired 😮 But whatever, great career!

[@siegfriedc2332]

Iirc, there were literally fan petitions going around when it happened. Then he showed up at Summerslam to fight against the Nexus.

[@KickItGoodAlex]

@siegfriedc2332 ah okay. Yeah I wasn't watching wrestling for a while, hence I missed it. Only got back into it during 2020.

[@user-ed4lu2hr7e]

RIP eddie guerrero u are missed

[@Sarvonis]

RVD did nothing wrong!

[@stingrey1571]

vince was jealous of miro/rusev because of cj perry. that is why he booked them in several breakup angles.

[@mezykin]

Vince McMahon is a vile perverted psychopathic control freak and possibly a child molester too (he's gonna be in the Epstein files just you wait). He couldn't bear seeing Lana and Rusev happily married so he tried to bury both of them.

[@stingrey1571]

@@mezykin I don’t think Vince is in the Epstein files. He didn’t need him. He had the fabulous moolah sending him women. Then after her he had Laurinaitis. The whole divas search contest was a buffet for Vince.

[@mezykin]

@@stingrey1571 well if he needed kids he'd have Epstein on speed dial I'm sure

[@rahamanroberson4333]

Yea, that part

[@PowerRangerfan]

I would love to see Chavo Guerrero wrestle in WWE again. Chavo was also entertaining in WWE.

[@robertxhacker]

10 minute segments on 1990s wrestlers please

[@legend9177]

That thumbnail spooked me not gonna lie!

[@unholyperiodza5442]

Jeff Hardy in 2009 that led him to his many failed drug charges that should've led him to retirement.

[@justingochioco1121]

My boy Braun Strowman was fired in June 4 2021

[@benpezzot8805]

Where chyna?

[@jsmith3946]

in the pacific ocean

[@mjstory1976]

Chyna WAS NEVER fired

[@jsmith3946]

@@mjstory1976 ya she was she ask for way more money then she was worth so the fired her and that's when she started doing porn

[@krispinwahsghost5999]

Ultimate warrior sucked. His promos were good, energy....but he wasn't that good in ring

[@tomseville2345]

He was fired with cause....three times.

[@krispinwahsghost5999]

@tomseville2345 yeah, I know he tried to extort Vinnie mac out of money like Right before a ppv match. Literally was expected to head line and dude said "nah, i want what hogan gets" I'm not a fan of hogan but, dude, you ain't hogan

[@bubbajoshproductions3990]

As great as they may be some main events from other promotions only can make it as high as upper midcard in WWE. Samoa Joe is an example of this and yep so is LA Knight

[@claymathewselevator8121]

Zack Ryder

[@thegamestar12]

Wheres jeff hardy man got fired twice

[@jsmith3946]

ask his dealer

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Bray Wyatt was the worst firing. Bryan came back within a month. Wyatt was gone for a year, then came back for one match, before passing away.

[@someonesomethingsomebody]

they still can't figure out how to book Rusev/Miro

[@Dugga49]

No Bray?

[@zanethind]

WWE releasing a lot of talented wrestlers due to budget cuts yet they still kept a lot of people who were not actually as talented as the released stars or just were not being used much as the released stars. And I really don't mean this as an insult to the people who were kept but if you look at the wrestlers that were released in the pandemic and the people they kept even you would be like oh c'mon. One example is they kept Reggie over BRAY WYATT! HOW DO YOU DO THAT?! I get Reggie had some talent especially but not much as Bray and Bray got released and if you look at what happened Bray did come back but apparently it just too late since Bray died in 2033 rip Bray. I'll never forget and forgive WWE for releasing Bray especially now since he's gone forever 😢

[@TheOgreKrenath]

Nice list

[@waitselljones8068]

They left out a few notable names like Bray Wyatt, but I'm sure it's because they're going to make another video called "10 MORE beloved wrestlers that were fired by WWE"

[@user-di7dn5rp5n]

Billy gunn n Road dogg

[@nickmontoya3001]

Now, were those papers sent in the mail or in person?

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

If you are talking about the ones that Punk got on his wedding day they showed up in the mail, I don't even think it was an "overnight" type of delivery either.

[@nickmontoya3001]

@@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269 my thoughts exactly

[@6Wheelz]

No Keith Lee/Shelton Benjamin?

[@JeremyJamesPrutchick]

Wasn't Shawn Michaels fired when he was with The Rockers?

[@duaneosmith]

Pretty sure he wasn't considered "beloved" during that time period, so...

[@killingragethrowback]

Punk's problem in AEW is he lived up to his name. Despite his age, he acted like a Punk. Maybe he had genuine grievances. Maybe he didn't but he certainly didn't deal with them in a professional way.

[@Canrugger]

Hahahahahahahaha good one

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Punk shouldn't be on this list. Since he technically quit, when he walked out

[@Dont-Ask-Me-My-Name]

Watching this video made me realize that the WWE always has far too much talent on their roster cuz honestly when all these people were fired I really didn't notice or care. Except for CM Punk & Eddie but all the rest were quickly replaced w/ insanely talented people so it never really hurt the product. And I say this as one of the biggest Ultimate Warrior fans but by 1996 there were plenty of other wrestlers to support

[@griffinkelly8694]

Ummm Damian mizdow?
