Blackballed!

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Me and the Mrs were watching the Rise and Fall Of WCW and we noticed how they showed clips of Jeff Jarrett and he wasn't mentioned by name. Mike Graham referred to him as someone who broke thousands of guitars and never drew a dime. And something about his Tennessee head. I thought that was pretty brutal. The conversation turned to who would never be welcomed in the WWE.

Jarrett is the nost obvious. Not only being part owner of TNA, but the six figures he got out of Vince McMahon for one night's work to drop the IC title on PPV one day after his contract expired. I don't see Vince putting that behind him. Ever.

I'd also have to include with Jarrett ...

-Lex Luger (showing up on the debut of Nitro, giving Vince no notice even though he wasn't under contract).

-Medusa Miceli (dropping the WWF Women's Title belt into a trash can on Nitro).

-Randy Savage (the urban legend of sex with underage Stephaine McMahon? Or something else?).

-The Ultimate Warrior (No shows and the lawsuit over the Warrior name).

Anyone else you can think of?

 

Blackballed is a relative term because Vince is so nutty that his mind can change on people pretty quick.  That being said, Luger was buried about as far as someone can be with the whole Elizabeth 911 call thing, so he’s likely never coming back.  Warrior, well, never say never.  I’d also add Bill Eadie to that list for the Demolition lawsuit, and probably Brock Lesnar for daring to draw money outside of wrestling without paying homage to Vince.  Barring that, unless zombie Chris Benoit comes back from the dead and asks for a job, pretty much anyone else in the world might have a shot.
