8 Wrestlers Blackballed By WWE
4. Lex Luger
Ever since the collapse of WCW, Luger has been persona non grata among the bigger promotions. Although Luger was hardly popular in the WWF after jumping ship to WCW and showing up unexpectedly on Nitro, that's not what got him permanently blackballed from WWE.
No, WWE made their opinion on him clear with the WWE Confidential hatchet job they did on Luger, essentially blaming him for the death of Elizabeth Hulette, aka Miss Elizabeth, who he'd been dating for quite a while at that point. Reports of drug use, domestic abuse, and more came to light in the days and weeks after her death.
The stigma of even being associated with the death of such a beloved figure -- whether he was actually responsible or not -- has been enough to taint him for life.
