10 WWE Stars Who Were Fired Multiple Times
WWE just couldn't stop firing these former stars
3. The Ultimate Warrior
Few relationships in WWE history have been as fractious as the one between Vince McMahon and The Ultimate Warrior.
Jim Hellwig’s alter-ego was viewed as the heir apparent to Hulk Hogan and Warrior received a massive push and WrestleMania 6 WWE Title victory over the golden goose.
Warrior believed that he should have been earning at least as much as Hogan, which is one of the demands he made in a letter sent to McMahon prior to SummerSlam 1991.
Vince acquiesced in order to get Warrior on the show as advertised, but immediately told him to take a hike when he got backstage after his match.
Warrior would, of course, return to the company at WrestleMania 8. His downfall this time was not due to any outrageous demand, but rather being caught using Human Growth Hormone, in contravention of WWE’s drug policy at the time.
A third and final run in 1996 was a disappointment all around and predictably ended with McMahon firing Hellwig after the star no-showed several house shows.
This last firing saw the two parties go to court and contributed to Warrior’s persona non grata status for the best part of two decades.
