10 Wrestlers Who Were BEGGING To Be Fired

10. Buff Bagwell

He's Buff, he's "the stuff", and the WWF front office...they'd had enough.

Bagwell's bullsh*t might've flown in WCW, but it was never going to endear him to Vinnie Mac, Jim Ross or other federation officials. In 2001, Buff managed to irk everybody by throwing his weight around like a diva and acting like he was the second coming of Steve Austin.

Some, like Shane Helms, stood up to this nonsense by getting into fights with Buff during training sessions. Meanwhile, JR claims that Bagwell's mother Judy plagued the company with tedious phone calls about her son's schedule, health and more. It was a nightmare Ross wanted to wake up from.

Worse, Buff failed to convince anybody that he was worth much in-ring with a disastrous match against Booker T on Raw. Being totally honest, the bout wasn't that bad - it did, however, oust him from McMahon's mind as a possible headliner, and Bagwell was released shortly thereafter.

So much for that.
