9. Ryan Shamrock

Ryan Shamrock was brought-in as the naive little sister of former UFC Superfight Champion Ken, who’d jump at the throat of anyone who dared look at his younger sibling. Unfortunately for Ken, his sister was hard not to look at, and Val Venis paid the price for openly flirting with her at ringside prior to a match.

Ken viciously attacked Venis and told him to stay away from Ryan, but that wasn’t the end of it. WWE, in all their wisdom, decided to have Ryan and Val star in a fictional pornographic film entitled Shaving Ryan’s Privates, and the feud continued, only for Val to dump her a few weeks later... because Val Venis.

Ryan was eventually sacrificed by The Undertaker and his disciples, before eventually being written-off TV for a while. She returned to WWE as part of Pretty Mean Sisters (PMS) with Terri Runnells and Jacqueline, but the stable didn’t last long, and neither did Ryan’s WWE career.

The worst part? Ryan was apparently released after refusing to sign a long-term contract with the company, owing partly to a backstage rivalry with Chyna, but also Vince McMahon’s insistence on an incest angle between her and her storyline brother. Eww...
