10 WWE Stars Who Were Fired Multiple Times
WWE just couldn't stop firing these former stars
5. Goldust
Dustin Runnels has had tremendous longevity in the wrestling business and is still going strong in 2024.
It hasn’t all been plain sailing, though, and the man formerly known as Goldust has had his marching orders handed to him on multiple occasions.
In the Summer of 1999, The Bizarre One was given the heave-ho while out with a bad back, with reports speculating that WWE saw more potential in his ex-wife Terri, who they’d recently signed to a multi-year deal.
His second run ended when his contract was allowed to expire in December of 2003, but Goldy came back for another run starting proper in January of 2006.
In June, however, Runnels was once again future endeavoured after he no-showed the June 12 edition of Raw because he had to be in court for an issue related to his personal life. The court issue itself wasn’t the problem; not telling WWE he wouldn’t be at TV was.
The third time he was sent packing was while working as a producer in May of 2012, due to a dangerous finish in a tag match he was overseeing at the April 24 SmackDown tapings.
Goldust would come back for one more run in 2013 and this time he would remain with the company until his contract expired in 2019, at which point he headed to All Elite Wrestling.
