11 Hugely Talented WWE Stars Who Were Fired Too Soon

And yet David Otunga still has a job.

WWE history is lined with Superstars who had the look, the talent and the charisma to be major stars for the company but, for whatever reason, never panned out the way both they and management would have hoped. Whether it was poor timing, inability to live up to potential, backstage politics or the company heading in a new direction, there are several hugely talented men and women that have seen their time with the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet come to a premature end. Some more than once. With a roster as overcrowded and extremely talented as the one the company has today, it is likely that several very talented performers will be let go before they have the opportunity to really showcase what they can bring to the table. With that in mind and with hindsight being what it is, here are 11 Superstars gone from World Wrestling Entertainment far too soon.
