8. Booker T

WWE legend Booker T had one of the easier shifts around during TNA's Bound For Glory 2009 pay-per-view. The 'Spinaroonie' master disappeared during his 'Full Metal Mayhem' tag title defence alongside Scott Steiner, and he'd never be seen on IMPACT programming as an active talent again.

Book was strapped to a stretcher and wheeled out as Sharmell looked on concerned. That left Scott to fend for himself against the likes of Team 3D, The British Invasion and Beer Money. It also meant fans were all-but-guaranteed to see a major title change on the card, which is always nice.

T did return for a one-off house show match vs. Rob Van Dam in 2010, but that wasn't ever going to lead to another run on telly. It didn't take long before Booker was showing up on WWE programming again, both as an occasional wrestler and as a commentator.

"Shucky ducky quack quack", and all that good stuff.
