8 Wrestlers That Visibly Hated Working For WCW
6. Paul Roma
Either a moment of a madness or a choice he made that he simply imagined would go better than it actually did, Paul Roma brought his WCW run (and mainstream TV wrestling career) to a total standstill when he disagreed so profoundly with the booking of his character that he gave up working completely in a pay-per-view match.
Somewhat callously labelled the worst Horseman of all time in retrospective assessments of a very solid career in the 1980s and early-90s, Roma's bout with Alex Wright was the best piece of evidence that the haters might have had a point. Allegedly a little angry with the opportunities - or lack thereof - presented to him in WCW, Roma did less than nothing for unassuming opponent (and innocent victim in all this) Alex Wright at SuperBrawl V.
Supposedly not best pleased that he was on jobbing duties in the pay-per-view opener, he was so abysmal selling for offence in the first half the match that the second was rendered mostly redundant. Having straight-faced everything being done to him like the shoot version of that wretched Buff Bagwell worked effort on Vince Russo's first Nitro, he then managed to outdo the usual 3.1 finisher kickout get-out by actually escaping at 2.9. The ref counted him out anyway, and so did the company - he was gone 24 hours later.
