10 Wrestlers That Couldn't Hide How Much They Hated Their Jobs

10. Steve Austin (WrestleMania X8)

There was a lot of things Steve Austin didn't care for at WrestleMania X8.

He didn't care for his position on the card, reduced as it was in comparison to the last three 'Show Of Shows' he'd competed at. He didn't care for losing to Scott Hall after the former WCW man allegedly indulged a little too heavily the night before. And he didn't care for the minimal bit of story attached to what was evidently the silver medal New World Order storyline.

Having had the foresight to know exactly what Hulk Hogan would do on his return to the company's 'Grandest Stage', he passed on the dream match. The booking of his angle with the gang subsequently seemed to pass on him. Hall, Hogan and Kevin Nash's attack on The Rock saw him smashed in the head with a hammer, then locked in an ambulance and driven into by a truck. All totally absurd, and just a slightly more grandiose version of Austin's fate. 'The Rattlesnake' had a breeze block smashed over his leg, giving them a substantial physical ailment to inform defeat down the line.

It may as well have never happened come showtime. Austin had no obvious wheel problems, no massive bandage as a reminder, nor was the lethargic match centred around Hall targeting the damage. Austin won clean with a Stunner, kicking the storyline as high into the stands as the move appeared to send 'The Bad Guy'.
