 What's good, George, your boy Ross back again with another video. So I want to check out 10 most unprofessional moments in WWE history. This should be a very interesting one. It happens. It happens not even just in WWE and a lot of jobs, you know, certain things are, you know, may come to the forefront and people in the back and unprofessionally, and it's definitely happened a lot in wrestling. Egos get involved. People feeling like they deserve more than maybe then, you know, what events or Tony Khan or whoever's willing to pay out or feeling like they're worth to their company. And, you know, sometimes people end up walking out saying some things. Even sometimes some backstage brawls happen. So we're going to check out some of these unprofessional moments in WWE history. Appreciate all of support. Let's get right into this one. The professionalism of pro wrestlers in WWE is coming to question on numerous occasions. Wrestlers are prone to acting in a way which is completely unprofessional, and this can range from poor behavior to outright walking out of the company due to creative and personal differences. Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 of the most unprofessional moments in WWE history. Make sure you subscribe to WrestleMania if you haven't already. One of your holly goes too far. One of the most infamous moments of the third season of Tough Enough revolved around hardcore holly. Oh, yeah, I've heard about this story. Holly has always had a reputation for taking wrestlers way too seriously, and this was on full display with a completely reckless act. During one of the episodes, Holly, who was a trainer on the show, decided to lay into contesting Matt Capitelli with legitimate kicks and punches. Capitelli was left with cuts and bruises, and it was even claimed that he was even knocked out following his exchange with Holly. For Holly, we later claimed that he needed to teach Capitelli a lesson in respect, but Holly went too far, and this act completely derailed any support he had from the fan base. Former head of talent relations for WWE, Jim Ross would reflect on the unfortunate incident during his episode of Grillin' JR, and this is what the legendary commentator had to say. It was with a lot of people. The bully thing was not selling well. It should never sell well. There's no place for it. People shouldn't teach their kids to be bullies. Bob was a bully on those occasions, but I don't know that that was 100% Bob's call. I think John Gubork was producing those shows at that time. He was. That's right. And Gubork got orders from headquarters from Kevin Dunn, and he got them from Vince, because Dunn and Gubork have been friends for years, Baltimore friends. He carried out his orders. And again, if you want to say, well, that doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it right, JR. Well, I'm not saying it makes it right. I'm saying this is how it is. This is how it was. So that's kind of where I see that Conrad. It was a Bob got out of step there and he's lucky he didn't get fired. Number nine, that that that wasn't cool. You trying to teach respect or whatever the case may be cool, but he's out there trying to legitimately beat the crap out of him and damn near did like not. It's not cool. And we've heard I've seen clips and heard stories about Bob Holly and how he kind of was a bully backstage and especially to newer guys like that's not cool, bro. It's not the ultimate warrior holds up Vince McMahon. Heard about this one, too. Documented that the ultimate warrior had attitude problems during his numerous WWE runs. In July of 91, warrior sent a letter to Vince McMahon stating he wanted five hundred and fifty thousand dollars for performing at WrestleMania seven, a guaranteed number of working days and a higher percentage of merch sales. Warrior would also add that the figure was fair and that he meant more to the show than Hulk Hogan. McMahon had no choice but to accept because warrior was set to be in the main event of the annual Summer Slam event. But following the show, warrior handed a letter to say that he was suspended effective immediately. In the letter, McMahon stated, you threatened to stay at home thereby not appearing at Titans major summer pay-per-view event Summer Slam. I had no choice but to exceed your exorbitant demands. This was a serious mistake on your part. Hey, Warrior's 1996 run was also problematic as he began to no show live events and this led to WWE terminating Warrior's contract. Warrior would initially claim that his father passed away but McMahon would claim that warrior was never close to his father. Warrior would then later state that there was a breach of contract on the part of McMahon which led him to no showing numerous events. Number eight, Sasha Banks and- That was also handled poorly too. Like, I can't really expound on it cause a lot of that's obviously before my time and when I was a little kid, like very little. So I can't really too much expound on it but just from the reports and different accounts seemed like Ultimate Warrior. He was like, yo, bro, I'm here for this money, pay up and granted maybe Vince did, you know, kind of mess them over in some of the appearances and maybe the payment wasn't all correct at the time but at the same time, my man was like, yo man, give me that half a million or I'm not showing up. That's wild. Holy. Naomi walk out of WWE, but seemingly out of nowhere, news broke in May of 2022 that Sasha Banks and Naomi had walked out of WWE. Banks and Naomi were reigning women's tag team champions and due to creative differences, they decided to walk out before a raw show and haven't been seen since. It was reported that WWE wanted to plant the seeds to split the duo up and they were going to advance towards a Naomi versus Bianca Belair and a Banks versus Ronda Rousey program. Banks and Naomi believed that WWE were mistreating and not respecting the women's tag titles. That's ultimately why they decided to leave. A few hours after the walk out, WWE went into damage control and issued an official statement. When Sasha Banks and Naomi arrived at the arena this afternoon, they were informed of their participation in the main event of tonight's Monday Night Raw. During the broadcast, they walked into WWE head of talent relations, John Laurinitis's office with their suitcases in hand, placed their tag team championship belts on the desk and walked out. They claimed that they weren't respected enough as tag team champions even though they had eight hours to rehearse and construct their match. They claimed that they were uncomfortable in the ring with two of their opponents even though they had matches with those individuals in the past with no consequences. Monday Night Raw is a scripted live TV show whose characters are expected to perform the requirements of their contract. With regret, we were unable to deliver as advertised tonight's main event. Number seven, Charlotte Flair. They definitely outed them on live television. That one, both sides play a part into it. Those tag titles don't mean a goddamn thing. They don't even mean nothing now. Even with Sasha and Naomi have been going for so long, they still don't mean nothing, y'all. They needed to be scrapped anyway. I get what Sasha and Naomi was trying to do, but WWE didn't care about that. They didn't. Now, they do take some fault into it because once again, you doing a no show saying, fuck it, I get it, your frustrations. Even the legend himself, Stone Cold, said he regret doing how he did things when he no showed for Vince McMahon. I believe it was supposed to be Monday Night Raw. He was supposed to be facing Brock Lesnar. He even regret doing that years, years later. So I do feel like they definitely mishandled it at the time, but I can't get mad at them for how they felt because of their personal gripes and issues they had been having with management and the direction of the titles. I do think if Triple H had more creative control, I think he would have been able to ease Sasha and Naomi's worries just a little bit more and they probably would have stayed, but it's just one of those type of things where both sides play a part into it, but it's still, if you want to be technical, it was unprofessional of them to leave the situation, but anybody that does that is still unprofessional whether Brock do it or whatever the case may be because I think Brock was threatening to do the same thing like right after that. So once I think they found out Vince had left or Vince was leaving the company or whatever, Brock was gonna do the same thing. He's like, he wasn't about to no show or whatever the case may have been, but it's still unprofessional no matter how you look at it, whether it's justified or not. It drops the women's title. In October of 2021, WWE booked a bizarre segment in which Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch exchanged their respective titles. Flair was reigning Royal Women's Champion whilst Lynch was the reigning SmackDown Women's Champion and due to both women being drafted to alternative shows, a title swap was ordered. As the exchange was about to go down, Flair could leave her Royal Women's title on the ground. This made the title look worthless and Flair's professionalism was called into question. Yeah, that was- He laid to surface that Lynch and Flair had a confrontation backstage following the incident and this resulted in accusations being directed towards Flair that she dropped the title on purpose to make Lynch look inferior. According to Flair during an appearance on Broken Skull Sessions, she dropped the title accidentally. I wish I could sit here and tell you that I did it on purpose, but if people need me to be that bad guy, I'll be that bad guy. Things happen on screen. I would never go on a scripted television show and purposely do something on purpose. It was accidental. Number six, Shawn Michaels gets- Well, I mean, if it was accidental, you could have picked it up, but she didn't pick it up. So that's why Lynch was like, what the fuck? Like, see, the way it looked, it looked like Flair didn't give it to him. Like, you pick it up. Like, that whole segment was just awkward and not in a good way. It made those championships look like absolute jokes because they're just throwing them on the ground. It did not look good. That was really weird. It's Vader's push canceled. In modern times, Shawn Michaels is one of the most beloved wrestlers ever. That wasn't always the case. Through the mid to late 90s, HBK had a rotten reputation backstage. Michaels was seen as one, if not the most unprofessional wrestler in the entire locker room. It would often be difficult to work with when this was on full display when he wrestled Vader at SummerSlam in 1996. This was the infamous match in which Vader messed up a spot and instead of acting with professionalism, HBK kicks Vader right in the face. It would later use his backstage influence to get Vader's push squashed. And due to him being one of Vince McMahon's biggest stars, McMahon took everything HBK said as gospel. These are the number of things during this time period that crossed a line and a full-documented video could be published outlining just how unprofessional the WWE Hall of Famer was during the 90s. And this is one of those things where people wanna sit up there and they ridicule CM Punk and all this other stuff. Not realizing wrestling has always had individuals that weren't at their best, that weren't liked. Damn nearby, a lot of people in the back. And HBK, Shawn Michaels is, he's one of them. He's at the top of that list. People did not like him. He was an asshole. Y'all thought what CM Punk was? Oh no. HBK, if he was in today's time, he would have got canceled because he was, he didn't give a damn. And granted, you grow and you learn. So that's why when people make those, you know, go, you know, go at CM Punk so hard because of his backstage stuff, whether you agree with him or not, it's always happened. It's not saying, I'm not excusing some of his actions, but can we not act that, sit up here and act like wrestling hadn't always had that? Like it's part of wrestling. Egos get into the mix. It's just being able to learn and grow from those situations. So, HBK definitely deserves me on his list. But five, Shawn Michaels' old self resurfaces. Here we go. Speaking of Shawn Michaels, as SummerSlam in 2005, he delivered one of the most comical yet unprofessional performances of his career. HBK would wrestle Hulk Hogan in a dream match and they had a bold decision to drastically oversell everything Hogan did. Hologous. The reason HBK did this was because Hogan had backed out of doing several matches with him, meaning that Hogan was going to get to win at SummerSlam and he was never going to return the favor of putting HBK over. Jim Ross, who was on commentary for the match, discussed HBK's overselling. This is what he had to say. I thought Shawn took some liberties. I thought Shawn was a little light-hearted and being a wise-ass at times in that situation. But Michaels' ego is such that he cannot have a bad match that reflects negatively on him and that certainly would have. I thought the match was pretty damn good, quite frankly. Number four, John Cena. It was definitely a good match. He was just overselling like crazy. Cena gets a match finished changed. The professionalism of John Cena was called into question in the summer of 2010. Cena led Team WWE to take on Team Nexus at SummerSlam. The intended finish of the match was supposed to see Team Nexus win. This would have presented Nexus as the credible threat in WWE and would have hopefully created some new main event stars. Cena made the bold and brazen decision to go to Vince McMahon before SummerSlam to get the match finished changed. This was a terrible misjudgment on behalf of Cena as it just portrayed him as completely egocentric. Everyone knew that Cena had made the wrong call, but Cena was WWE's top guy. He had a ton of influence. In recent years, he's spoken out about how he regrets in getting the match finished changed, but it still doesn't make up for his blatant act of selfishness and unprofessionalism. Number three, J.B. Even Cena had to admit he was wrong. And he was wrong because it makes no sense for them to lose. It made no sense for them to lose. J.B.L. legitimately punches the blue meanie. Throughout his career, J.B.L. has had a number of accusations thrown his way regarding his conduct. Numerous ex-WWE stars have labeled J.B.L. as a bully, and we got to see J.B.L.'s antics play out live on PPV in 2005. During the brawl between WWE and ECW's roster at the one night stand event, J.B.L. targeted the blue meanie in a brawl. Meanie would appear with a bloodied face and it was clear that J.B.L. had maliciously hurt the ECW star. According to Meanie, he believed that J.B.L. wanted to hurt him for criticizing him online. However, J.B.L. said that he was giving Meanie a retaliation blow during the brawl, yet it was rather suspicious that J.B.L. had no cuts on his face whatsoever. Number two, Randy Wharton. But they end up getting their receipt though, so we've seen the video of wrestlers getting their receipt. Oh, J.B.L., he got his receipt. Snaps. A pro wrestling is incredibly difficult to master. Things can go easily wrong. When things go wrong in a match, it's important that wrestlers remain cool and try to get it together. Unfortunately, in early 2010, Randy Wharton expressed blatant unprofessionalism during a triple threat match with Kofi Kingston and John Cena. During the end of the match, Kingston was supposed to be pinned following a punk kick from Wharton, but Kingston rose to his feet, meaning that Wharton wasn't able to execute the dreaded kick. An outraged Wharton then hit an RKO and he yelled, Wharton's reaction was completely uncalled for. Wharton's reaction was drastic and no doubt unprofessional. He wasn't remotely reprimanded. Instead, WWE lost faith in Kingston and he would be moved drastically down the card. Yep, once that happened, it was over. His push was done. And number one, Stone Cold Steve Austin walks out. Wrestlers walking out of WWE due to creative differences isn't exactly a rare occurrence. Nope. It's happened half a dozen times. I'm surprised he didn't even put CM Punk on this list. I mean, I guess it's, you know, this was filmed before CM Punk came back to WWE, so it would have been an obvious thing, him walking out and not showing up to WWE anymore after his issues with Vince and stuff like that. But I guess the number one spot should be Stone Cold because that was one of the biggest things that had happened at that point. Stone Cold, even though he wasn't really wrestling full time like that, it's still Stone Cold. And he said, fucking, I'm not showing up. Times throughout WWE history and whilst each case is different, arguably the most notable was when Stone Cold Steve Austin walked out of WWE in 2002. Austin was having a weird 2002 as he was being booked in meaningless feuds and he was not being presented as the absolute mega star that he was. Then when Austin was booked to lose to Brock Lesnar and a King of the Ring qualifier on Raw, Austin said, no thank you and decided to not show up for the match. Vince McMahon and even JR would publicly berate Austin for his unprofessionalism whereas fans were split on Austin's decision. Popular discourse at the time was that Austin should have shown up for work, but Austin's logic that a huge match such as he and Lesnar should have been built up massively. Austin himself later in years has outright stated that he regrets how he handled the situation which ultimately deserves a ton of respect. But they have at first 10 of... And I remember that and it's one of those type of things where it's like, you know what, he was unprofessional at that moment and I love Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is my favorite wrestler of all time. So I get it. And I understand his point, if that's truly his point that he wanted to make that... Now this should be a big match. I shouldn't be... I don't have a problem losing but I shouldn't be losing in a qualifying match which I totally agree. You don't put that match. Stone Cold and Brock, you don't put that. Even back then Brock being as young as he was at the time you knew that was the guy that they were going with. You don't put that match as a qualifying match on a random Monday night Raw episode. No, that's a pay-per-view quality match at least. So I understand that. And probably it was, I believe he had said he was just kind of frustrated with where the booking was going. He wasn't liking the booking direction. Hell, they weren't really booking him in anything noticeable as well. So it was a combination of things where he said, fuck it, I'm not coming back. Still unprofessional for him to do said thing but at the end of the day, man, he admitted that he was wrong and he was, he could, if he had a chance to do things over I'm sure he would have did things differently as he has said before. So comment down below. Let me know some other unprofessional moments in wrestling history. I know there's going to be some CM Punk stuff in there. Let me know if they weren't on this list already because there's been a lot of unprofessional moments in WWE history and in wrestling history. Hell, you can put Hulk Hogan and what happened with WCW. You can also put Vince Russo in that situation and he was the integral part of the death of WCW and how unprofessional he was with some of the stuff that he was doing and how he was booking himself and just the way he was running backstage business. You can put a lot of people even if they weren't wrestlers, managers, creative, people in creative, you know what I'm saying? You can put a lot of people in this category of unprofessionalism in wrestling. But I appreciate all of the support you guys showing on channel Road to I Haven't Indicated and I'm singing on speedy YouTube, wrestling champion of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace.
