11 Wrestlers Who Would Rather Do Nothing Than Work For WWE

'The Big Bad Booty Daddy's complex relationship with Vince McMahon goes all the way back to damp squib of an exit from the company in 1994 that left them frozen out of the industry until a 1995 ECW return. Back then, both Scott and Rick didn't particularly feel as though McMahon had their best interests at heart, but that acrimony was small change compared to the body-blows 'Big Poppa Pump' hit the entire family when he parted ways again with the group a decade later.

Steiner's disappointing 2002-2004 run failed for more reasons than just Steiner's indifference for the product, with the former WCW World Champion himself sending much of the blame the way of company power couple Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

As recently as last year during conversation with WhatCulture.com's own Simon Miller, Steiner referred to the 'Billion Dollar Princess' as a c*nt, making it perfectly obvious that he'd rather be out of the wrestling business altogether than a part of Vince McMahon's version of it.

All Elite Wrestling's recent presence has given wrestlers marginally more confidence to speak out in such forums, but Steiner using those enormous arms to lob bombs before it became the norm.
