10 Wrestlers Who Were Kicked Out Of The Locker Room

10. The Miz (By Chris Benoit)

It's perhaps the most famous of all these tales, not least because of the before and after fame of the victim.

Landing in WWE having previously been a reality TV star did Mike Mizanin no favours, especially considering the loudmouth persona he'd protrayed just to get in the door in the first place. It barely stayed behind the scenes - John Bradshaw Layfield was a SmackDown announcer at the time and made no secret of the loathing he harboured towards the future WWE Champion whenever he appeared on-screen.

But it was fellow locker room steward Chris Benoit who Miz fell most a-fowl of after a regrettable incident involving...chicken.

Unaware of the rules of where to sit and what to do when he first arrived on the heavily policed B-show, Miz supposedly ate some chicken too close to Benoit's bag. 'The Crippler' b*llocked him for it, but the 'The A Lister' errantly saw the whole thing as a bit of fun, and ignored it.

Predictably, this escalated things and he was later loudly castigated by Benoit before being relegated to changing in corridors and quiet corners for the better part of his first year on the brand.
