10 Wrestlers Who Were Released For Breaking Kayfabe
7. Robbie McAllister
The internet would be abuzz today if a contracted WWE star was shown hanging out at Daily's Place taking in some AEW action. Social media wasn't quite the same back then, but message boards still lit up when then-WWE talent Robbie McAllister was spotted at TNA's Impact Zone on 27 March 2008.
Oops.
TNA didn't help matters by making sure to show McAllister off and including a graphic that said, "Dereck (they spelled it wrong) Graham-Couch: WWE Wrestler". WWE officials quickly called Couch and told him to leave the soundstage. He was in big, big trouble, not only for attending a rival's show but also because they had used his shoot name on camera.
The Highlanders survived for another few months before WWE released them that August. It's not hard to imagine how angry Vince McMahon would've been upon hearing that one half of his Scottish tag-team had been caught looking like a fan at a TNA taping during WrestleMania week.
