10 WWE Stars Who Were Fired For Unprofessional Conduct
2. The Self-Destruction Of Juventud Guerrera
High-flying luchador superstar Juventud Guerrera was released from his WWE contract in January 2006, after debuting in June 2005. Why was he fired? The question should be, why on earth was he kept on so long His last match for the company had been the final straw, after a laundry list of complaints from officials, wrestlers, and crew.
It's quite likely that everyone in the company at the time had an eye-rolling story to tell about the car crash that was Juventud Guerrera. Guerrera was practically delusional for almost the entire time that he wrestled for WWE, convinced that he was a main event level talent on a par with new stars John Cena and Batista and even a legend from the Attitude Era like The Rock. Indeed, one story has him enthusiastically telling a group of wrestling fans on a plane journey that he was Mexico's equivalent of The Rock, and that his fame rivaled The Great Ones fame. He'd also used several of The Rock's moves, gestures and expressions while working for WCW, which had gone down very badly with the man himself.
Even in WWE, he would constantly wear sunglasses and refer to himself in the third person. Guerrera was considered so much a personal liability backstage that his fellow luchadors, Super Crazy and Psicosis had asked management to consider splitting their successful three man team The Mexicools, for fear of being tarnished by association with him. On his final night on Smackdown, Guerrera would compete against Kid Kash in a rematch for the cruiserweight championship that hed lost three weeks earlier, and was reportedly furious that Kash would once again be going over.
The following match would see Guererra childishly go into business for himself as he sandbagged and potatoed Kash at practically every opportunity, while breaking out high-flying moves that he'd specifically been asked not to use in order to make himself look good including the 450 splash, banned in WWE following Guerrera having dangerously botched the move only a month after his debut.
That was it for Juventud Guererra. The delusional egotist would be fired before the match aired on television.
