8 Best Excuses For Wrestlers Not Doing A Job

8. He's Too Small

It's an open secret that Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart didn't really see eye to eye. The former was said to have been suspicious of anyone threatening his spot at the top of the card, while the latter has always come across as something of a wrestling snob.

This clash of personalities apparently peaked in 1993, when The Hulkster reportedly turned his nose up at the prospect of a mega face versus face clash with The Excellence of Execution at SummerSlam, claiming that he was too small for it to be believable as a contest.

Consequently, a new booking route was devised whereby Hogan would drop the belt to Yokozuna (a larger, albeit infinitely less skilled adversary) at King of the Ring, with Hart eventually getting his hands on it at WrestleMania X in March of the following year.

It's a good thing that Vince's former franchise player isn't wrestling today. If he objected to losing to Bret Hart on the grounds that he was a lightweight, then you can only imagine how he'd feel about laying down for someone like AJ Styles or Finn Bálor.
