20 Wrestlers Who Stole A Living From WWE

Money for nothing?

There have been many times in WWE history when fans looked at a certain wrestler and thought, €˜What is he/she even doing here?€™ Not everyone can be a professional wrestler; it takes a certain combination of physical skills, looks, emotional and psychological temperaments and a willingness to learn how to actually wrestle, in order to be successful. Many people have tried to do this, only to fail miserably and quit the business. Others succeeded earlier in their careers, but came back to WWE for another round, and they were nowhere near the level at which they performed during their first runs. Whatever the case, WWE has had just as many bad wrestlers as there have been good or great wrestlers. This article will highlight twenty wrestlers, both male and female, who shouldn€™t have been on the roster in the first place. Some of them are on this list because they never had much skill to begin with, and all of the time they spent trying to improve didn€™t help at all.
