10 Wrestlers WWE Fired For Stupid Reasons
9. Konnan
Above is a behind-the-scenes snap of Vince McMahon, Konnan (as Max Moon) and other WWE staff looking rather p*ssed off about something. Maybe this was the exact moment K-Dogg called Vinnie Mac out for telling little fibs about Japanese wrestling legend Jushin 'Thunder' Liger.
Wait, what?
On his 'Keepin' It 100' pod, Konnan once revealed why he wasn't happy when he clapped eyes on the original in-ring outfit for his early-90s WWE gimmick. Max Moon's costume looked a little too...Liger-ish, and the Mexican star let McMahon know about it. When Vince said he didn't have a clue who Liger was, Konnan pointed out that he'd once spotted a pic of McMahon with the Japanese hero in a magazine.
Apparently, this contributed to Konnan's downfall in the federation. Of course, reportedly missing TV tapings probably didn't help things either, but the future nWo man is certain that Vince was riled by his earlier comments.
