10 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WWE

The ink had barely dried on Bill Goldberg's contract when WWE stuck him in a backstage segment that ended with the former WCW Champion sporting the 'Bizarre One's wig.

Context is everything, of course, and has there been any of note here that justified the opposition's old monster being made to look a bit of a tw*t then perhaps the whole bit wouldn't have mattered. But of course there wasn't. Wordplay - and bad wordplay at that - brought them together thanks to them both having "Gold" in their name.

Big Bill was at least booked to look fairly f*cked off with this indiscretion, but his face told a longer story and would continue to for the duration of his ill-fated first run with the organisation. Useless comedy skits, long matches that exposed his act and mutual indifference between performer and promotion made the experience as tiring for viewers as it looked to live through.
