So Vince actually didn't owe him 500k. He was mad Hogan got a mil for mania while he only got 500k. Which was in the contracts. Warrior thought he was as big as Hogan which simply wasn't true. Warrior was a constant problem. Just a year earlier he refused to drop the belt to Rick Rude and Rick left the company. Warrior was trying to hold Vince hostage because he was already in the storyline and promotions for the pay per view. I'm no saying Vince hasn't ever been shady. But this wasn't one of those times.
@@lathe1233 Not true on the Rick Rude part. Rude was upset how much Warrior made compared to him at that PPV and he wasn't going to be main event level.

Vince had his face champs hold the title for a decent while.
He probably would have made more money in the long run without the 500k, since he got fired immediately after. Vince basically said, here's your 500k and that's the last money you'll ever see from me, instead of continuing to make regular paydays for years to come

Mr. Kennedy was a threat for John Cena and Randy Orton's spotlight, at that time, they were the future of WWE, they weren't a fan of Kennedy's in-ring skills bc he was unsafe to work with, but injury prone killed Kennedy's career
Kennedy wasn't unsafe, it simply a case of them using backstage politics to further their star power, plus it's far too obvious Orton didn't land on his head, simply overshot the spot.
I always thought Orton was pissed cuz he landed on his bad shoulder. His head didn't even touch the mat on that back suplex, if that's what Orton is complaining about then he straight up screwed Kennedy for no reason.
@@woobgamer5210 it's not like Orton of all people knew what Kennedy was or wasn't using, so regardless of if he was using, doesn't change the fact Orton straight up lied about Kennedy being unsafe here. Randy's head was fine but he said Kennedy hurt his head, not his shoulder. Which is total bs.
I don't think Kennedy was all that safe or maybe he was just unlucky and already on thin ice. I remember Cena tearing his peck with the dumb hip toss he used to do and I don't remember Cena doing it anymore when he came back.
Because Kennedy didn't deseeve to be in the WWE. The dude was literally hurting people in the ring and was too arrogant to admit it. He was just a train wreck. If you can't perform safely and properly then you shouldn't be doing the job.
the way the sum got demanded was a mistake, it couldve been resolved in a better way then threatening not showing up at a really important event last minute.
@@Jk-ey7mp I think it depends. How long was he owed? Had he tried to get the money through better means multiple times and failed? If he went through options prior to that, getting Vince by the balls to make it happen wasn't the worst idea, minus it killing his career. But maybe he realized that could happen when he did it and thought it better to get his money and go.
I actually enjoyed Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar, definitely more than tyson Fury vs Braun Strowman. The Velasquez vs Lesnar match felt more like a fight than a wrestling match, which is both what I hoped for and expected due to both being former UFC champions. It was intense and looked less choreographed/more sloppy. Which resembled more of a real fight than most wrestling matches that are more of a dance.
Cain just got paid to job. He is from AKA and beat Brock in the UFC and then had that 2 minute farce. From what I heard Cain got many compliments while Wrestling in Lucha Libre.
@@hackedboss9106 That's just not true. Cain is up there with the best the UFC has seen, Brock benefited from what was a pretty weak division at the time. Cain wins that fight 9/10 times
Cain had no idea how to wrestle in such an environment, he also looked incredibly goofy and underwhelming, especially compared to a monster like Brock, which was not really saved by the fact that he defeated Brock years earlier at a sport most wwe fans did not actually watch, and then this whole Dominik and Rey debacle around it. Losing Kennedy was a shame though, and most likely down to Orton and Cena trying to eliminate competition.
you are forgetting that Cain actually beat Brock in real fight. I watched this fight it war pretty good. Brock winning with Cain in wwe was a good promotion and they should have kept Cain around.
Trying to eliminate Kennedy because they were worried about him? More like this isn't the only incident he messed up in the ring and was a nightmare to work with. I liked Kennedy alot actually, but he didn't play well with others. Kennedy screwed Kennedy.
In ‘06, Angle was caught up in the big steroid scandal that was going on. Most people viewed him getting “fired” as an excuse to get him out of the business for a bit, waiting for the heat do die down. When he returned a while layer, he was much smaller & it was obvious he was off the juice.
Imagine someone like Kurt Angle asking to be released because of pain and such. Mad respect to him that he has drawn the line to keep the health he had left.
Speaking as only occasional watcher i kinda liked Eugene Was his gimmick a bit offensive? Yeah but when has tv and wwe especially ever been strangers to offensive portrayals? Anyone remember crime time? The mexicools riding lawnmowers? How about that classic time when Sargeant Slaughter became osama bin laden's biggest fan? Yeah...i prefer Eugene over all that
Ultimate Warrior demanded $500k THAT HE WAS OWED? Was that a large tab accruing over months? Or was that suppose to be his pay for that one match? If he had been waiting to be paid for various matches for months, I don't blame him one bit.
From what I read, UW was mad at not making as much as other guys (Hogan specifically) and demanded to be paid more for a previous match (basically demanding retro-pay after the match had already taken place) and for the forthcoming summerslam (where he was already on the ticket and being advertised). If he didn't get paid, he said he would not show. It was basically a tantrum that he was not being paid as much as the very top guy(s) and he held his services ransom. He put management in a bad position and pretty much guaranteed that he could not be relied on in the future - because if it works once, why not extort more money again? That's just what I read about it... could be slanted to favor one side in the story too...
@@tattoodude8946 If he was worth the $500,000 to have him turn up for a single match, then he was absolutely correct in thinking he deserved more money. I don't think that would be the case though, I find it much more likely they bowed to him because there was legal precedent to it.
There's two sides. The Warrior said that he verbally agreed to a new $500k contract after becoming champion at 'Mania. Then Vince reneged because he was disappointed with Warrior's title reign. Vince says Warrior demanded $500k for the one match at Summerslam.
@@jonathonjones2611 Just because verbal agreements can be legally binding doesn't mean every verbal agreement is. And that would be even harder to honor considering the industry and time period UW was in. In practice, we can say that any contract agreement UW verbally agreed with Vince which was not a physical signed one means nothing.
The Ultimate Warrior one seems sketchy if he was trying to get, what sounds like, back pay that was owed to him. I mean, if you haven't been paid in a while and have a little leverage you would do the same.
He kind of was and kind of wasn't though. He was upset Hogan's conrtact was worth double what his was and tried to negotiate matching pay. Though Vince did eventually submit and agree to it. Then as the event got closer he still hadn't been paid the difference and made the threat.
This is so weird. During this month. Randy and Kennedy were traveling together during this period. I actually hung out with both of them at a bar playing pool and had dinner with them. It seemed like there were tight friends
1:15 The thing with many controversial stuff the WWE does: They do it FOR the controversy, they don't accept controversy as a byproduct because they want to tell a story, they want the controversy and accept a "story" Eugene could be such a good character. Mentally impaired, heart of gold, fighting spirit. You can tell powerful storys of him. For example when he realized that "Friends" (Heels) only act nice, because he can give them an advantage, only to play along for a few weeks and backstabbing them. Or he gets beaten up regularly by heels, only to step up to each one of them in singles and giving them a fight for their money, racking up feel good moments. Or he gets squashed by a group of 4 or 5, slowly building up a "clobbering" (while taking uncomfortable long to end the violence) only to be saved by a few mid-card faces building a Traditional SuSe match where, cuz I'm predictable, Eugine is the Iron man. Or he makes a heartfelt speech about being the "weird man", how he gets rejected even by the good guys. How that realisation changed his life and work place. How it made him very sad but also very angry. That he rejects to be just weird. That he want to be himself and everybody who doesn't like that can kiss his arse. Oh so many, this character was gold and can be used without punching down (although I quite enjoy me some punching down jokes, that's literally how I talked to myself for years).
Vince didn't have "no choice but to pay warrior". He could have fired him when he got the letter and changed the main event as he had 6 weeks. He did the same thing the following year at survivor series
The merchandise such as action figures, posters, t shirts, video games, etc. asociated with Warrior was immense. Dropping possibly the industry's biggest star at the time would be difficult to do on the spot.
Kurt Angle was literally the whole reason I watched as much wrestling as I did. He had so many iconic moments that I even went to TNA just to watch his matches
Cain’s last match was at crown jewel. They had planned on using him at the rumble. But, he got injured. So, it was scrapped. Ended up being released during the first COVID cut.
Buff Bagwell is another one. He only ever had one match in WWE, and he was fired almost immediately afterwards, because his match against Booker T was so poorly received. Apparently, Bagwell was a heavy drinker at the time, and Vince really didn't like that either.
Yes, Vince dropped the F-bomb, however the difference is that Vince didn't swear AT the crowd like the other guy did. Vince NEVER swore AT the crowd. He USES the crowd to either be a heel or to fire them up to give someone else a push. Never ONCE did Vince EVER belittle the crowd. So he wasn't being a hypocrite.
@@woobgamer5210 But you're mixing up the situation with what the first guy said. He said VINCE was hypocritical, NOT the situation. I agree that the times and the PG era have made the "situation hypocritical yes, but VINCE himself is NOT. VINCE never swore AT the crowd like in that particular instance. In THAT clip dude was insulting the crowd. Vince never did THAT. He certainly insinuated and made suggestive comments but "belittling" the crowd is like "asking for career death." Even when the Rock was heel and he had his famous "Rock Concerts" while insulting a city or their sports team, he NEVER belittled the crowd. There's a definite distinction that can't be overlooked. These fine distinctions are what SELL WWE/ Like how they HATE being called "fake." Practiced, Rehearsed, Coryographed???? These are accurate; FAKE is not accurate. And it's why Wrestlers like Lesnar get REALLY pissed when some EFFING joker casually calls them out on it.
"#2: Brad Maddox Brad Maddox is best known to WWE fans as...." Funny, the only thing I remember about him is a certain internet video involving him, Paige, & Xavier Woods. 🙄🤮
I'm surprised Bart Gunn didn't make the list. Wrestlemania 15, gets squashed by Butterbean in the Brawl for All, then is fired immediately afterwards. All because he unintentionally ruined their plans for Dr. Death to feud with Steve Austin by beating him.
I think the real reason he was fired is because he humiliated Vince by getting destroyed by Butterbean so quickly, because it made the entire WWE roster look weak compared to legitimate fighters
@@royjonzejr Butterbean himself said that he was brought in to be Bart Gunn's punishment for beating Dr. Death on Dark Side of the Ring. The fact that they even sent Bart to a Boxing school showed that they even tried to sabotage him, as Butterbean admits that he had a better chance of winning if he fought like he did in the Brawl for All instead of as a boxer. Not helping that Bart revealed that they changed the rules to better be in Butterbean's favor.
Let's create a shoot fight tournament... with a worked conclusion... and punish the guy for winning in a shoot fight. Uhhh.... I think WWF needed to lay off the meth in the mid 90's.
Ken Anderson stated that he had buried the hatchet with Orton before the pandemic when the WWE were in Minneapolis. He said they hung out for a half hour and talked about life in general.
@@xxJuJuxx1922 even though they didn't drop him for that. He had a mental breakdown and was released because he couldn't reliably perform without anxiety attacks
"There was no other way than Warrior's way" Translation: 'Warrior is right , I owe him the money but as soon as I pay him I will fire him for forcing me to pay him money I already owed him" "
Translation, you actually don't know anything about the situation whatsoever. Because what really happened was, warrior wanted the same money that Hogan got. Which was 500k more. But what he was neglecting is that Hogan killed him in merchandise sales and money draw. The warrior wasn't unpaid, he just wanted more. He was a nightmare to work with. The year prior Rick Rude left the company because Warrior refused to drop the belt to him.
I know that Kennedy/Anderson has had that reputation of being unsafe and also i think i heard unprofessional but watching the tape back angle shown it doesnt look like Randy landed on his head or neck.
“Brad Maddox is most well known to WWE fans for his time spent servicing as the General Manager of RAW between 2013-2014.” Well, yes, but actually no. 😂
Nah, there are a lot of people who doesn’t like fat wrestlers. When you have a fat wrestler who’s pretending to have mental capacity of a 6 year old, there was no place for him other than straight into the pooper.
I feel like Randy and Cena were intimidated by Kennedy because he had charisma neither one of them had and he would have been a big star if he stayed around.
According to an interview with Kevin Nash, Mabel almost got fired on the spot after a match as well cause of that butt crash to their back move he would do. According to Nash, was opposed to the firing despite the injury and said he just made a mistake, let's just make sure it doesn't happen again.
The problem Maddox had is that he has nowhere near the drawing power necessary to break pg ratings, so it doesn't really matter if Vince was hypocritical dropping the f- bomb on-air unfortunately.
This is why so many who were in the WWE left. I understand some of these, but the ones like Mr Kennedy is ridiculous. Kennedy was one of the heels I actually liked. He played the heel part very well, one of those you loved to hate the character, but respected his talent. He also rose up pretty damn fast. Went from his debut to a major event (the MITB match at WrestleMania 23) in only 2 years... Then they release him over a botched move? What about the pile driver that broke Steve Austin's neck? Vader when he caused Mick Foley to lose an ear? Undertaker when he caused Mick Foley to have internal bleeding, among other serious injuries? Vince with all the sexual harassment he pulled on Trish Stratus, Mickie James, etc? Seems like double standards. Give the top talent a million chances, but someone relatively new like Mr Kennedy the boot over a mistake? Randy should've understood that injuries are a possibility... He knew what he signed up for when he signed a contract for the WWE. I wonder what his dad, uncle, and grandpa (some old school ring vets) would say about him whining about a little botched move enough to get someone fired? Guarantee they all were on the receiving end of botched moves and just served their own "unscripted justice" instead of whining about it...
Still a big problem when the of the biggest stars in WWE and probably more wrestlers as well don't like him and don't want to work with him. So WWE releasing him instead of dealing with constant back stage problems and probably bad matches maybe not nice and unfair for Kennedy but a good choice for both sides
He also destroyed a whole year's worth of planning when he tore Cena's pec, which ruined his WWE title reign and had multiple other complaints on him. The man was really unsafe and only didn't get fired earlier due to that 10 month injury absence. This particular video is poorly researched outside of the Velazquez vs. Lesnar fight and Eugene vs. Miz.
@@manporo5865 safety aside, can't say that Kennedy was one of the best at making you hate his character even while knowing it was scripted. That was my point
@@manporo5865 I still remember imitating his entrance several times when I was in the Army, but changing it with my last name. It got a good chuckle out of my 1SG the first couple times because his nephew was a huge WWE fan, so he knew who Mr Kennedy was.
@@lathe1233 Nah, we worked with the Warrior for two years. He was happy with his $6 mill from WCW and had invested wisely but hated wrestling (bumps, travel, schedule, boys etc).
He owned a training business that was successful. Vince tried to get him the the HOF and Warrior kept refusing until finally he agreed and he apologized to Vince and Hogan and they apologized for the video they released that bashed Warrior. All was water under the bridge. Then 3 days later Warrior passed. Very sad for his wife and 2 little girls
Warrior/Hogan vs Col Mustafa, Sgt Slaughter, Gen Adnan - Warrior made big money demands and threatened to no-show. After the match, he was canned. When he returned he looked a LOT smaller, and many fans thought it was Texas Tornado playing the character.
I haven't watched wwe since 2003, back when scott steiner and Test (R.I.P Test) were fighting over Stacy. I have no clue why i'm being recommended this stuff but this creator is very VERY good at what he does.
Honestly I don't think any of these are true. The Cain one was definitely false and the John Cena clip in the video was about firing John Laurinaitis, not Ken Kennedy.
@@MrKingpin1205 The stories themselves are true, but the clips are obviously chosen for comedic effect rather than an attempt to portray the actual event. Some of these exchanges were public - such as the online battle between Randy and Mr Anderson - and a lot of the wrestlers have talked publicly about what happened. So yes, all of these stories are either true or at least hitting very close to the mark for why the releases occurred. Although the timeline might be a bit off; the wrestlers were not necessarily fired "immediately after" a match, so much as the match being the reason they were ultimately fired.
Woods was in the video too but wasn't released due to his privilege. If they had kept Brad too by now it would have been forgotten about the same way people forgot Woods from a New Day was even in the video. Cause he wasn't fired for it
honestly as someone who is too young to remember the Attitude Era at all aside from clips, and only just old enough to recall Ruthless Aggression, with every story i hear about Angle i garner more and more respect for him
4:58 Kennedy didn’t mess up the move at all. Many wrestlers talked about it even Kennedy and it showed Orton’s head never hit the mat and the move was fine and Orton landed flat as your suppose to. And if Kennedy is so dangerous why did no one say the same in TNA or other promotions?
Why does everyone call them "superstars," respectfully? Do you ever hear NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL players referred to as "superstars"? They're pro wrestlers.
Well I can't say about the Randy thing but the Cena thing wasn't even about Ken Kennedy. That clip was about firing John Laurinaitis. From what I've heard, Ken got let go because he couldn't stay healthy, which made sense because he stayed getting hurt and had to leave for months
@@jessemersier5499 I'm not saying he isn't because I don't know how he actually is as a person off camera. But as relating to Ken Kennedy, nothing in this video proves that Cena did anything to get Ken fired, as I said before, the clip that was used was about John Laurinaitis

But maybe he realized that could happen when he did it and thought it better to get his money and go.

I feel like Orton/Cena were out for Kennedy since Kennedy was being built up as a mega star at the time
Yeah I thought the same thing. Guess Orton/Cena saw him as a threat to their monopoly on the main event scene at the time.

Kennedy was way to stiff and was injuring people because of it
Whats funny about the Angle story is that Vince was willing to fight him over those text messages.

Dude that was scripted show.
I actually enjoyed Cain Velasquez vs Brock Lesnar, definitely more than tyson Fury vs Braun Strowman. The Velasquez vs Lesnar match felt more like a fight than a wrestling match, which is both what I hoped for and expected due to both being former UFC champions. It was intense and looked less choreographed/more sloppy. Which resembled more of a real fight than most wrestling matches that are more of a dance.
Cain just got paid to job. He is from AKA and beat Brock in the UFC and then had that 2 minute farce. From what I heard Cain got many compliments while Wrestling in Lucha Libre.
@@kevindifranco3494 he only beat Brock because of injuries lol
@@hackedboss9106 BIG FACTS
@@hackedboss9106 injuries? That is just an excuse for Overeem beating him. Velasquez demolished Lesnar...
@@hackedboss9106 That's just not true. Cain is up there with the best the UFC has seen, Brock benefited from what was a pretty weak division at the time. Cain wins that fight 9/10 times
Cain had no idea how to wrestle in such an environment, he also looked incredibly goofy and underwhelming, especially compared to a monster like Brock, which was not really saved by the fact that he defeated Brock years earlier at a sport most wwe fans did not actually watch, and then this whole Dominik and Rey debacle around it. Losing Kennedy was a shame though, and most likely down to Orton and Cena trying to eliminate competition.
The Kennedy thing was more about his arrogance backstage and his innate ability to legitimately injure his opponents during his matches.
What's a shame too it's that Cain's got some real lucha skills. He did really well in Mexico. Too bad he was injured.
you are forgetting that Cain actually beat Brock in real fight. I watched this fight it war pretty good. Brock winning with Cain in wwe was a good promotion and they should have kept Cain around.
@@bartangel4867 Not only did I not forget that, I even specifically mentioned it and why it did not help this whole debacle one bit. Some people...
Trying to eliminate Kennedy because they were worried about him? More like this isn't the only incident he messed up in the ring and was a nightmare to work with. I liked Kennedy alot actually, but he didn't play well with others. Kennedy screwed Kennedy.
In ‘06, Angle was caught up in the big steroid scandal that was going on. Most people viewed him getting “fired” as an excuse to get him out of the business for a bit, waiting for the heat do die down.
When he returned a while layer, he was much smaller & it was obvious he was off the juice.
he was abusing painkillers which was affecting him alot more.
What scandal??
@bls8959 a bunch of wrestlers were caught using steroids. angle was one, rey mysterious edge and so on
Except that's not why he was "fired". It is well known why.
It's funny because in the UFC Cain Velasquez had a reputation of always being injured. He went into WWE and got injured again immediately.
Also had a reputation as being the most dangerous man in the UFC at one point
Every AKA fighter trained like tards
Imagine someone like Kurt Angle asking to be released because of pain and such. Mad respect to him that he has drawn the line to keep the health he had left.
Speaking as only occasional watcher i kinda liked Eugene
Was his gimmick a bit offensive? Yeah but when has tv and wwe especially ever been strangers to offensive portrayals?

Ultimate Warrior demanded $500k THAT HE WAS OWED? Was that a large tab accruing over months? Or was that suppose to be his pay for that one match? If he had been waiting to be paid for various matches for months, I don't blame him one bit.
From what I read, UW was mad at not making as much as other guys (Hogan specifically) and demanded to be paid more for a previous match (basically demanding retro-pay after the match had already taken place) and for the forthcoming summerslam (where he was already on the ticket and being advertised). If he didn't get paid, he said he would not show. It was basically a tantrum that he was not being paid as much as the very top guy(s) and he held his services ransom. He put management in a bad position and pretty much guaranteed that he could not be relied on in the future - because if it works once, why not extort more money again? That's just what I read about it... could be slanted to favor one side in the story too...
@@tattoodude8946 If he was worth the $500,000 to have him turn up for a single match, then he was absolutely correct in thinking he deserved more money.
I don't think that would be the case though, I find it much more likely they bowed to him because there was legal precedent to it.
There's two sides. The Warrior said that he verbally agreed to a new $500k contract after becoming champion at 'Mania. Then Vince reneged because he was disappointed with Warrior's title reign. Vince says Warrior demanded $500k for the one match at Summerslam.
@@jonathonjones2611 Just because verbal agreements can be legally binding doesn't mean every verbal agreement is. And that would be even harder to honor considering the industry and time period UW was in. In practice, we can say that any contract agreement UW verbally agreed with Vince which was not a physical signed one means nothing.
@@jonathonjones2611 The upcoming match or a previous match?
Well, cena has been waiting for that moment to back up orton. Since kennedy was the reason he vacated 380 day title reign
The Ultimate Warrior one seems sketchy if he was trying to get, what sounds like, back pay that was owed to him. I mean, if you haven't been paid in a while and have a little leverage you would do the same.
He kind of was and kind of wasn't though. He was upset Hogan's conrtact was worth double what his was and tried to negotiate matching pay. Though Vince did eventually submit and agree to it. Then as the event got closer he still hadn't been paid the difference and made the threat.
The list of wrestlers Vince has fired for one reason or another could fill a video for an hour at least.
The list of wrestlers that he fired, rehired, fired, and rehired again would be an hour long video too.

@@midnightdeluxegaming6582 exactly lmao it explains in the video
1:15 The thing with many controversial stuff the WWE does:
They do it FOR the controversy, they don't accept controversy as a byproduct because they want to tell a story, they want the controversy and accept a "story"
Eugene could be such a good character. Mentally impaired, heart of gold, fighting spirit. You can tell powerful storys of him. For example when he realized that "Friends" (Heels) only act nice, because he can give them an advantage, only to play along for a few weeks and backstabbing them.
Or he gets beaten up regularly by heels, only to step up to each one of them in singles and giving them a fight for their money, racking up feel good moments. Or he gets squashed by a group of 4 or 5, slowly building up a "clobbering" (while taking uncomfortable long to end the violence) only to be saved by a few mid-card faces building a Traditional SuSe match where, cuz I'm predictable, Eugine is the Iron man.
Or he makes a heartfelt speech about being the "weird man", how he gets rejected even by the good guys. How that realisation changed his life and work place. How it made him very sad but also very angry. That he rejects to be just weird. That he want to be himself and everybody who doesn't like that can kiss his arse.
Oh so many, this character was gold and can be used without punching down (although I quite enjoy me some punching down jokes, that's literally how I talked to myself for years).
No. Brad Maddox is the guy best well known for giving us that sweet Paige footage...
Vince didn't have "no choice but to pay warrior". He could have fired him when he got the letter and changed the main event as he had 6 weeks. He did the same thing the following year at survivor series
they had a contract he couldn't just sack him before paying him or else he would have got sued at the time
its a saying bro. There is always a choice
The merchandise such as action figures, posters, t shirts, video games, etc. asociated with Warrior was immense. Dropping possibly the industry's biggest star at the time would be difficult to do on the spot.

Buff Bagwell is another one. He only ever had one match in WWE, and he was fired almost immediately afterwards, because his match against Booker T was so poorly received. Apparently, Bagwell was a heavy drinker at the time, and Vince really didn't like that either.
I saw Maddox’s last match on WWE. Was kinda crazy! Didn’t phase me when he said, “Cocky Pricks.” Just regular heel work. 😂
It’s perfectly fine
Yes, Vince dropped the F-bomb, however the difference is that Vince didn't swear AT the crowd like the other guy did. Vince NEVER swore AT the crowd. He USES the crowd to either be a heel or to fire them up to give someone else a push. Never ONCE did Vince EVER belittle the crowd. So he wasn't being a hypocrite.
Except... ever since the PG era, swears were basically soft-outlawed so... yeah it is hypocritical.
@@woobgamer5210 But you're mixing up the situation with what the first guy said. He said VINCE was hypocritical, NOT the situation. I agree that the times and the PG era have made the "situation hypocritical yes, but VINCE himself is NOT. VINCE never swore AT the crowd like in that particular instance. In THAT clip dude was insulting the crowd. Vince never did THAT. He certainly insinuated and made suggestive comments but "belittling" the crowd is like "asking for career death." Even when the Rock was heel and he had his famous "Rock Concerts" while insulting a city or their sports team, he NEVER belittled the crowd. There's a definite distinction that can't be overlooked. These fine distinctions are what SELL WWE/ Like how they HATE being called "fake." Practiced, Rehearsed, Coryographed???? These are accurate; FAKE is not accurate. And it's why Wrestlers like Lesnar get REALLY pissed when some EFFING joker casually calls them out on it.
"#2: Brad Maddox
Brad Maddox is best known to WWE fans as...."
Funny, the only thing I remember about him is a certain internet video involving him, Paige, & Xavier Woods. 🙄🤮
I'm surprised Bart Gunn didn't make the list. Wrestlemania 15, gets squashed by Butterbean in the Brawl for All, then is fired immediately afterwards. All because he unintentionally ruined their plans for Dr. Death to feud with Steve Austin by beating him.
I think the real reason he was fired is because he humiliated Vince by getting destroyed by Butterbean so quickly, because it made the entire WWE roster look weak compared to legitimate fighters
@@royjonzejr Butterbean himself said that he was brought in to be Bart Gunn's punishment for beating Dr. Death on Dark Side of the Ring. The fact that they even sent Bart to a Boxing school showed that they even tried to sabotage him, as Butterbean admits that he had a better chance of winning if he fought like he did in the Brawl for All instead of as a boxer. Not helping that Bart revealed that they changed the rules to better be in Butterbean's favor.
Let's create a shoot fight tournament... with a worked conclusion... and punish the guy for winning in a shoot fight.
Uhhh.... I think WWF needed to lay off the meth in the mid 90's.
Ken Anderson stated that he had buried the hatchet with Orton before the pandemic when the WWE were in Minneapolis. He said they hung out for a half hour and talked about life in general.
Lars Sullivan comes to mind😂😂
Lars was very controversial outside the ring so I can see why they dropped him
@@xxJuJuxx1922 even though they didn't drop him for that. He had a mental breakdown and was released because he couldn't reliably perform without anxiety attacks
"There was no other way than Warrior's way"
Translation: 'Warrior is right , I owe him the money but as soon as I pay him I will fire him for forcing me to pay him money I already owed him" "
Vince is never more irritated than when he realizes that he's just been played by another businessman.
Translation, you actually don't know anything about the situation whatsoever. Because what really happened was, warrior wanted the same money that Hogan got. Which was 500k more. But what he was neglecting is that Hogan killed him in merchandise sales and money draw. The warrior wasn't unpaid, he just wanted more. He was a nightmare to work with. The year prior Rick Rude left the company because Warrior refused to drop the belt to him.
That's not why Brad Maddox is remembered for 🥴
Ah yes...To quote one of the Usos...
"Don't be all Rated-R like your boy Xavier Woods" lol

Vince was 100% wrong about Eugene, I feel like everyone liked Eugene and he got over
Nah, there are a lot of people who doesn’t like fat wrestlers. When you have a fat wrestler who’s pretending to have mental capacity of a 6 year old, there was no place for him other than straight into the pooper.
I feel like Randy and Cena were intimidated by Kennedy because he had charisma neither one of them had and he would have been a big star if he stayed around.
Vince : yoouuuu'reee fireddddd.
Wrestle: oh sir, you want to taste my finisher, enjoy sir!!!!
Vince firing wrestlers is always how I imagined getting fired from a job Lmaoo.
According to an interview with Kevin Nash, Mabel almost got fired on the spot after a match as well cause of that butt crash to their back move he would do.
According to Nash, was opposed to the firing despite the injury and said he just made a mistake, let's just make sure it doesn't happen again.
The problem Maddox had is that he has nowhere near the drawing power necessary to break pg ratings, so it doesn't really matter if Vince was hypocritical dropping the f- bomb on-air unfortunately.
Imagine if he said that to braun and aleister
What do you think would have happened?
@@davidgraham8299 I think he would get someone else to fire them for him

Nah not every wrestler
@@cxzbacon12 they like the money yes but I'm sure majority of the roster thinks they aren't booked right
Warrior was suspended not fired. Then he quit 2 months later.
This is why so many who were in the WWE left. I understand some of these, but the ones like Mr Kennedy is ridiculous. Kennedy was one of the heels I actually liked. He played the heel part very well, one of those you loved to hate the character, but respected his talent. He also rose up pretty damn fast. Went from his debut to a major event (the MITB match at WrestleMania 23) in only 2 years... Then they release him over a botched move? What about the pile driver that broke Steve Austin's neck? Vader when he caused Mick Foley to lose an ear? Undertaker when he caused Mick Foley to have internal bleeding, among other serious injuries? Vince with all the sexual harassment he pulled on Trish Stratus, Mickie James, etc? Seems like double standards. Give the top talent a million chances, but someone relatively new like Mr Kennedy the boot over a mistake? Randy should've understood that injuries are a possibility... He knew what he signed up for when he signed a contract for the WWE. I wonder what his dad, uncle, and grandpa (some old school ring vets) would say about him whining about a little botched move enough to get someone fired? Guarantee they all were on the receiving end of botched moves and just served their own "unscripted justice" instead of whining about it...
Still a big problem when the of the biggest stars in WWE and probably more wrestlers as well don't like him and don't want to work with him. So WWE releasing him instead of dealing with constant back stage problems and probably bad matches maybe not nice and unfair for Kennedy but a good choice for both sides
He also destroyed a whole year's worth of planning when he tore Cena's pec, which ruined his WWE title reign and had multiple other complaints on him. The man was really unsafe and only didn't get fired earlier due to that 10 month injury absence. This particular video is poorly researched outside of the Velazquez vs. Lesnar fight and Eugene vs. Miz.
@@manporo5865 safety aside, can't say that Kennedy was one of the best at making you hate his character even while knowing it was scripted. That was my point

Did he though? The millions of dollars he lost over the years by not being in wrestling seems like he lost.
@@lathe1233 Nah, we worked with the Warrior for two years. He was happy with his $6 mill from WCW and had invested wisely but hated wrestling (bumps, travel, schedule, boys etc).
He owned a training business that was successful. Vince tried to get him the the HOF and Warrior kept refusing until finally he agreed and he apologized to Vince and Hogan and they apologized for the video they released that bashed Warrior. All was water under the bridge. Then 3 days later Warrior passed. Very sad for his wife and 2 little girls
I am rewatching all of the old wrestling and just got to Eugene 8(ish) episodes ago, and I LOVE EUGENE! That is a fantastic fun character.
Warrior/Hogan vs Col Mustafa, Sgt Slaughter, Gen Adnan - Warrior made big money demands and threatened to no-show. After the match, he was canned. When he returned he looked a LOT smaller, and many fans thought it was Texas Tornado playing the character.
I haven't watched wwe since 2003, back when scott steiner and Test (R.I.P Test) were fighting over Stacy. I have no clue why i'm being recommended this stuff but this creator is very VERY good at what he does.
Brad Maddox is amazing wrestler. I think his best match was a Tag match: Brad Maddox & Xavier Woods vs Paige
You're wrong , Brad Maddox is known to wwe fans with his infamous ménage a trois with Paige
Honestly I don't think any of these are true.
The Cain one was definitely false and the John Cena clip in the video was about firing John Laurinaitis, not Ken Kennedy.
@@MrKingpin1205 The stories themselves are true, but the clips are obviously chosen for comedic effect rather than an attempt to portray the actual event. Some of these exchanges were public - such as the online battle between Randy and Mr Anderson - and a lot of the wrestlers have talked publicly about what happened.
So yes, all of these stories are either true or at least hitting very close to the mark for why the releases occurred. Although the timeline might be a bit off; the wrestlers were not necessarily fired "immediately after" a match, so much as the match being the reason they were ultimately fired.
