5 WWE Stars Who Suddenly Left After Major Pay-Per-Views
Here (and thriving) today, gone tomorrow after disagreements with Vince McMahon himself...
4. Jake Roberts (WrestleMania 8)
The fallout of WrestleMania in 1992 saw Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper make scheduled exits, but Roberts' was just slightly more sudden. "The Snake" felt slighted about being passed over for the Pat Patterson's vacated booker position, and gave his notice.
Roberts wasn't expected to leave immediately following WrestleMania 8, but he made sure that it happened. Before his match with The Undertaker, Roberts demanded his written release be prepared, or he'd walk out. Roberts got his wish, worked the match, then left.
