2. Rhino
During the summer of 2006, WWE was gearing up to revive the ECW brand after the success of their original "One Night Stand" pay-per-view, and the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD released the year before. In doing so, WWE was looking to accumulate talent, specifically, ECW originals. Former ECW champion Rhino was one of those talents, but unfortunately for the WWE, he wasn't interested in the offer, and he made it public. Rhino, who competed for TNA Wrestling at the time. appeared at a live event, which ironically was taking place in the old ECW arena, and publicly turned down the WWE's offer out of loyalty to TNA. Rhino wasn't done, though. A month later, Rhino appeared on TNA TV with his old ECW title (which ended up being a replica), and dropped it in a flaming trash can, citing his disgust for the direction WWE took the new ECW brand. Rhino would never work for WWE again, but did participate in several failed re-hash attempts at ECW, even in TNA.
