8 Wrestlers Blackballed By WWE

9. Honorable Mention: The Concussion Lawsuit

Over 50 wrestlers have signed onto the concussion lawsuit currently aimed at the WWE, and all of them are no doubt blackballed from the company for the foreseeable future.

Names like Paul Orndorff, Shane Douglas, Muhammed Hassan, Slick, the Hebner brothers, Road Warrior Animal, Heidenreich, and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. are among the many wrestlers, refs, and managers attached to the suit. Even the estates of Jimmy Snuka and Axl Rotten are included.

This is only the latest lawsuit brought against the company by Konstantine W. Kyros, who has had his other cases summarily dismissed.

It's likely that this case will follow suit. But it's unfortunate that wrestlers who could be under consideration for the Hall of Fame -- like the overdue Ax and Smash of Demolition -- have scuppered their chances in the hopes of a quick payday.
