The average WWE career is not a long one. It roughly lasts around three years for the typical superstar. Most WWE midcarders walk on eggshells, afraid to slip up in front of management or someone in a position of authority. WWE can, and will, fire you for absolutely anything. It is advisable that you don't make any enemies or do or say the wrong thing backstage. If you're not one of the 'untouchables' in the main event scene, like a John Cena or a Randy Orton, then you can essentially have a target on your back from day one: there are people watching and judging you all the time. Most of the time when a WWE wrestler is released it's either because of some controversial incident or because 'creative didn't have anything' for them. Many people have called WWE on this and said that if the writers can't come up with something from the talent then they should fired the writers. It's hardly the fault of the talent. Sure, if you go out and get a DUI after spending time in rehab at the expense of the company (like Eddie Guerrero did in 2001), then you probably deserve your pink slip. Punch a fan in the face? Goodbye! But losing your job because a writer can't come up with anything for you? Please. Sometimes, however, WWE release people for very harsh reasons or simply for no reason at all. Here are ten releases that still have fans scratching their heads.
