Vince thought Randy Savage was 'too old' in 1994 yet eight years later in 2002 Vince booked Hulk Hogan to win the Undisputed championship.

You don't have to go too far. Remember same year WWF was doing the "new generation" campaign in 94. They put the title on Bob Backlund. Piper main evented king of the ring 94 against jerry lawler.😂

ACH screwed himself so bad during that tirade. He had people supporting him then alienated them when he roasted Jay Lethal for no reason. And since then he's pretty much persona non grata in every major promotion. He torpedoed his entire career with that tirade

That’s because Jay Lethal is pretty beloved. Even Corny has only good things to say (or did; I don’t listen to him much anymore). When you drag a universally liked person through the mud for no reason, it has major consequences.

I completely forgot Austin Aries was in WWE at one point.
Randy Savage being deemed too old was BS. Savage was born in 1952 while Jerry Lawler and Bob Backlund were each born in 1949. Yet Lawler and Backlund each got to work main event-level feuds with Bret Hart, with Backlund even winning the Title.

Vince prolly had his expectations high when Goldust volunteered to have boobs surgically implanted into him.
(Adrian) Neville/Pac was the best act in the 205 division and made the championship believable until WWE gave that up for none in-ring talent and just all-bark Enzo Amore. If WWE never wanted to make the cruiserweights interesting, then they shouldn't have NEVER done it in the first place and just leave it in the CWC tournament back in 2016. [SIGH]

Well it is said that Sid has half the brain that everyone else does lol.
Female wrestlers in Japan were required to retire when they became 26… People that were in their 40s in the 80s looked like people in their 70s today… As a little kid, I did think it was weird that Macho stopped wrestling and went to commentary.
"Ach standing on business." That's gotta be the funniest joke in the entire video.
Man Randy Savage could still go in his 40s yet Vince was so stupid to not see that and let him go
Pac's reasoning wasn't strange. He shouldn't be on this list.

It seems so dumb to me that Vince didn’t do more with Randy Savage in 93-94. He wouldn’t be my world champ but he was still a draw and could have had great matches with Michaels, Perfect, Razor, Owen or Bret.
Definitely I’m with Neville
Letting Randy go to WCW was one of the worst calls you could have made at that time. Not only cuz it was Randy, but cuz of Randy's Slim Jim money that helped fund wcw. Imagine Roman had a deal with Jordon shoes and you let him go to AEW after Mania 40. Basically the same concept.
@Deadguy2322forreal

Vince did not realize the sponsorship was tied to Savage and not to WWF, apparently. He figured the Slim Jim money wasn't going anywhere and got totally submarined by the slim Jim folks telling him that the deal was following Savage out the door.

This video should be titled strange but fair reasons wrestlers quit WWE
To be fair to Neville/Pac, if the thanks I got for all my efforts to build prestige to the Cruiserweight title and 205 Live was a kick to the nuts from a talentless wrestler by comparison, I'd quit too.
JBL put over the Blue Meanie, Triple H put over Jim Ross, Undertaker put over Maven, The Rock put over the Hurricane & John Cena put over John Laurinaitis... and they all became legends in WWE. Neville couldn't even put over Enzo Amore without complaining.

They were all already legends and it was the least JBL could do. Neville losing to the guy that couldnt wrestle after all his hard work for the division just kind of showed that they didnt care.
Hogan did technically quit by doing Rocky III. He was told he'd be fired for doing so, and by doing it anyway that's the equivalent of saying "I quit" so it goes both ways. Don't be blinded by your hate, understand all sides

One the the biggest reasons I’ve wanted him gone for over a decade Cause as we’ve learned since the GOLDEN AGE, he can’t book or make giants or even generally big guys worth a damn if they aren’t already naturally gifted on either the mic or in the ring Undertaker worked because he was trained and had prior knowledge Kane worked because he had that prior training and skills Khali failed cause he had none Big Show failed, more often, because he was booked bad Gonzales failed cause he had nothing but his size Omos failed cause he has neither good booking or enough training Sid didn’t work, cause it’s Sid Nash only worked cause he had Shawn and Vince’s backing but otherwise can’t work a match worth a damn
