10 Wrestling Matches That Led To Wrestlers Being Fired
9. Arn Anderson Pays The Price For Letting Alicia Fox Perform Pissed
He may not have been a full-time in-ring performer towards the latter stages of his time with Vince McMahon's promotion, but Arn Anderson was still very much part of the furniture and had carved out a rather respected role as one of WWE's finest backstage producers up until his sudden departure in 2019.
This wasn't simply a case of WWE pulling the "budget cuts" trigger, though. Anderson had come under fire after a match that he'd been in charge of at a WWE live event saw one particular star strut her stuff whilst intoxicated. On the back of allowing Alicia Fox to get in the ring and work in this state, McMahon was said to have been furious and swiftly showed his long-time road agent the door.
Anderson would later join up with Cody Rhodes and AEW following his firing from The Land of the Giants, only adding that he didn't want to be somewhere where he wasn't wanted when nudged on the subject at Starcast II a few months on from his release.
