11 Wrestlers Who Would Rather Do Nothing Than Work For WWE

9. Sid

Sid used Titan Towers' revolving door so frequently throughout the 1990s that his exits and re-entries became storylines in themselves. He was twice allegedly bailed out of an asylum (once as a heel by Ted Dibiase to sell on to Shawn Michaels in early 1995, and again by 'HBK' in a babyface move months after he'd supposedly gone back there in 1996), all years after disappearing without trace just weeks removed from a WrestleMania main event against Hulk Hogan.

His extended absence away from WWE was down to a WCW spell between 1992 and 1993 after a murky drug test-related exit during a time of great pressure for Vince McMahon on that particular subject, but his other departures were often rumoured to be down to the fact that he loved playing semi-competitive softball.

It was never fully apparent exactly how much he valued professional wrestling, but he knew his value to the industry and - unlike others without his genetic gifts - never particularly felt the need to compromise as a result.
