2. He Was Fired For Causing A Domestic Disturbance
2005 wasn't a happy time for Rhyno. Not only was his career in a rut and he was stuck wrestling on Sunday Night Heat, but his marriage was falling apart as well. It was a stressful time in the Man Beast's life. He must have been extra-gloomy at the WrestleMania 21 after party. He didn't make the card again that year and had to sit back and watch his friends and co-workers perform on the show. At some point during the after party, Rhyno got into an argument with his soon-to-be ex-wife. Rhyno, who comes across as such a polite and mild-mannered man during interviews and appearances, smashed a flower pot at the Universal Sheraton Hotel. This normally wouldn't have been such a big deal but there were many fans watching the incident and wrestlers had been warned to be on their best behaviour. He flew home from the Raw taping the next day (he wasn't used) and was fired shortly thereafter. His last appearance for the company was his match against Sabu at the One Night Stand PPV on June 20th. Adding insult to injury, the unsympathetic ECW fans chanted 'you got fired' at him.
