10 Storylines WWE Stars Hated Doing
10 WWE storylines the wrestlers hated being a part of
WWE star is never going to like absolutely everything they are asked to do on screen. This includes storylines, the real heart and soul of sports entertainment and something that, given the time invested, performers want to be nothing less than top tier.
That’s not only not always the case, but sometimes a star will be so displeased with their scripted saga that they’ll then let the world know just how much of a bad time they had doing it.
These are 10 storylines WWE stars hated doing.
10. Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall
As one of the top stars the industry has ever seen, Steve Austin had the power to say ‘no’ to things he didn’t want to do.
At the peak of his powers, Stone Cold refused programmes or matches with the likes of Jeff Jarrett, Billy Gunn and Marc Mero, but he bit the bullet and engaged in a storyline with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in early 2002.
Rather than a dream match with Hulk Hogan, the Texas Rattlesnake was booked opposite Hall at WrestleMania 18 and the creative direction of their feud in the buildup to the Showcase of the Immortals did not meet Austin’s standards.
The Bad Guy himself later claimed that Austin was annoyed because he felt he should have been in a main event against the Hulkster and had to settle for what he got instead. To make matters worse, both Austin and Hall were both going through personal issues at the time and their in-ring work suffered as a result.
The Bionic Redneck was so disgruntled with how both the feud and match with Hall had gone that he skipped the WrestleMania after-party and flew home rather than go to Raw the next night.
