10 WWE Stars Who No-Showed Events
These 10 WWE stars didn't turn up for work
7. Sycho Sid
‘Softball Sid’, they called him, due to his habit of temporarily waving goodbye to wrestling stardom whenever it was time for the big man to step up to the plate.
The Master and Ruler of the World was a major attraction and was (almost) always welcomed back into the fold, regardless of whether he left WCW or WWE on iffy terms.
Due to his love of the game, Sid frequently decided he’d rather be on the field than at an arena he was booked at and developed a reputation for no-showing which would, invariably, lead to suspensions and firings.
The most egregious example of this was in 1992, not long after he’d headlined WrestleMania opposite Hulk Hogan.
Sid was working post-Mania house show main events with The Ultimate Warrior when he became unhappy with how the matches were going – particularly a spot where Warrior would kick out of his Powerbomb finisher – and up and quit just two nights into their programme.
Fans at arenas expecting to see Sid were instead ‘treated’ to his replacement, Papa Shango, with no explanation given for Sid’s absence.
