10 Wrestling Characters That Had The Plug Pulled On Them Immediately
We hardly knew ye.
Some wrestling characters, like The Undertaker, are able to last for decades. Some are successful for a little bit of time, then run their course and are eventually let go, like Santino Marella. And then, some are created, and are so amazingly awful that even Vince McMahon himself wonders what the hell he was thinking and quickly pulls the plug.
When introduced to someone new, we’re often given weeks of vignettes to hype their debut. A lot of money and resources were spent shooting these segments, which makes it all the more baffling when they disappear so quickly without any explanation.
