10 Stunning Incidents Which Led To Wrestlers Being Fined

Infamously, Vince McMahon was indicted by the US federal government for conspiracy to distribute steroids in the early-1990's. The terms set against McMahon included a minimum jail sentence of 11 years, the seizing of the WWF's office building, and a hefty $2,000,000 fine. As has been widely reported, McMahon escaped these terms, and his victory against the court is regarded as a landmark moment in wrestling - things sure would have been a lot different had one of the most important men in the industry been locked away for over a decade. Rather incredibly, Vince himself has been on the other side of the coin, fining many of his wrestlers for violating his own set of rules and guidelines, but he's not the only company which has ruled with an iron first at times. This list explores 10 different occasions on which wrestlers or promotions were fined, and includes a variety of reasons for such punishments. The amount of money fined fluctuates dramatically with these examples. Some of them will cause fans to argue in defence of the culprit, whilst others are more understandable. One thing's for sure, all cases are remarkable, and paint an interesting picture of pro wrestling down through the years.
