10 Wrestlers Who Hated Working For WCW
7. Shane Douglas & Billy Kidman
Five years may as well have been fifty-five in the frantic late-1990s, but Vince McMahon seemed less willing to forgive and forget the ill feeling with Shane Douglas when the prospect of re-signing him came up in 1999.
Douglas and fellow WCW struggler Billy Kidman made up an original group of six disgruntled wrestlers ready to leave together for pastures new. The two were just as unhappy with their standing in Atlanta, and much of the rumour and innuendo said deals were in place for all of them.
This proved not to be the case, and after Kidman elected to stay put and try and make it work in WCW, Douglas was the victim of both McMahon's disinterest and the tighter bond between the remaining four. As Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko prepared to depart, there was no deal forthcoming for the former 'Dean'. As per his recollection on shoot interviews ever since, a series of intentionally missed phone calls resulted in him being left behind the quartet that eventually arrived on Monday Night Raw.
