10 Wrestlers Who Fell Out Of Love With Wrestling

7. Mr. Anderson

Upon his arrival in TNA way back in 2010, Ken Anderson was handed the mic and told to say whatever was on his mind. Choosing to hit back at his former employer, WWE, Anderson - who wrestled for the company as Mr. Kennedy - was one ticked off dude, and he didn't care who knew it. This anger stemmed from the way in which the guy was released by WWE. It was reportedly Randy Orton who chewed out Anderson following his comeback match on Monday Night Raw during the latter months of 2009. Anderson had crudely botched a back suplex, and Orton was none too pleased about it, having been worried about his back, collarbone and neck ever since suffering an injury. This is often attributed as the incident which got Anderson the bullet, or at least that's how it was according to the man himself. Over in TNA, Anderson seemed to be using the Orlando promotion's platform to vent his frustrations at Orton, Vince McMahon and WWE. During interviews recently, Anderson has expressly stated that he fell out of love with pro wrestling for a spell, and still struggles to be as motivated as he once was, which obviously isn't of benefit to TNA as an organisation.
