10 Wrestlers Who Were Insulted By WWE Roles They Were Offered
9. The Revival
Seeing FTR work in AEW is akin to those punch-the-air moments when a child rides his/her bike without the training wheels. No, The Revival weren't big kids in WWE, but they were treated like it. They just didn't fit into the McMahon vision for what tag-team wrestling should be.
Namely, a complete afterthought.
The Revival wanted tag-team wrestling to mean something again. They could see the potential of heated feuds against The Usos and New Day, and knew they had the skills to be linchpins of the division for years to come. Unfortunately for both, WWE didn't agree. They wanted 'Ucey Hot' and bowling balls to the groin instead.
That didn't suit the soon-to-be FTR. WWE's outright disregard for their bell-to-bell brilliance became too much to take, and they repeatedly tried to get out of their contracts because of it. To these dudes, traditional values and working top matches meant more than empty dollars.
