10 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WWE

1. Demolition Ax

"Here comes the AX, here comes the SMASHER" were the first lyrics wailed during Demolition's iconically awesome entrance theme as if to warn the opponents in advance that they'd just signed on to get the sh*t-kicking of their f*cking stupid lives.

Vince McMahon might have devised Demolition as a Road Warriors rip-off, but men behind the paint Bill Eadie and Barry Darsow were so fantastically convincing as monsters behind the mythology that that they built a following all of their own.

Between 1987 and mid-1990 they were the most dominant duo in the company, up to and including the build to their first dream match with the newly-signed and slightly rebadged Legion Of Doom. Unfortunately, Eadie's declining health in combination with McMahon's sudden disinterest in the act resulted in the three-time tag team champions being easy picking for Hawk and Animal.

Turned into a trio along with Crush, the three had their final night on screen together at the Survivor Series, and Ax was only too keen to show it. Gone was the sparkle and streaky gel from his hair, tan from his body and menace from his expression. Ax cut the figure of a man not giving a f*ck.
