20 Wrestlers Who Stole A Living From WWE

15. Palmer Canon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x_XF0Zh0ZU This was one of the most confusing and unnecessary characters in SmackDown history. Introduced as the €˜Network Executive€™, Palmer Canon was meant to represent the USA Network, with whom WWE was having some trouble regarding the Muhammad Hassan character. Basically, WWE wanted to use Canon as a means of poking fun at the network€™s interference in WWE affairs, but all it did was bore the audience. While Palmer Canon was a trained wrestler, all he did was argue with Theodore Long and other authority figures. Neither the man nor the character contributed anything positive to SmackDown, other than perpetuate the idea of a power vacuum at the level of SmackDown€™s management. The thing was, no one cared about this guy or his position. By taking part in these ridiculous segments, Canon was taking precious TV time away from the SmackDown talent and having it focus on himself. Few people, if any, found these segments truly enjoyable, and were thus happy when Cannon was fired and the whole €˜Network Executive€™ and everything related to it, removed from SmackDown. This was one of those instances where WWE management is more at fault than the wrestler, but even in promos, Canon was boring and uninspiring. Had he actually wrestled, it€™s highly likely that he would€™ve been just as boring, despite his experience in both wrestling and mixed martial arts.
