Top 5 Times WWE Mistreated Wrestlers.

Intro.

As the years have gone by, the levy of mistreatment has been brought in a hardway at the WWE, and this has come about over the space of decades. UInder the old creative, this type of behaviour was allowed to flourish, and it given time to breathe. This is a look back at these moments, and storylines, and i'll give my own opinions.

5. Piggy James.

This came in the early part of the 2010's decade, and at a point of contention for most fans, due to the fact the company was failing to creative new stars. This was also a time when the company would launch their route into hypocrisy called the Be A Star Campaign. This segment was the catalyst for me, and the reason for why I believe that the company wasn't going to learn its lessons.

4. Wendy Richter Double Cross.

The mid 1980's were a wild time in Pro Wrestling, the NWA was facing its own issues, whilst the WWE was starting to flourish under the Rock'n Wrestling period of the era with MTV, however at this time contention was also brewing amongst performers with the office. Jesse Ventura wanting to start up unisation, was brought down to earth with a bump, and our subject matter Wendy Richter didn't want to do business. This wasn't dealt with Properly, she gave her thoughts on this matter on the Vince Mcmahon Netflix series, and you could still hear the hurt in her voice, and this was thirty nine years after her screwjob to the reprohensible Fabulous Moolah. This should never have happened.

3. The Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior.

Nowadays the man that changed his name from James Hellwig to Warrior, isn't someone to look at with nice eyes, due to his activities outside of the ring, but this DVD to this very day is looked with spiteful eyes, and it was unneeded. From superstars doing their own hit pieces, to the lawsuit that followed in the aftermath. This looking back in hindsight is what you could call ironic. An awful human being, tried to sue another awful human being.

2. Sable.

The years of 1996, to 1997 were'nt kind to the greenwich conneticut company attendeces were still down from 1995, but they were starting to improve. Sable came at the right time. The days and act of the valet were becoming passe, and the industry needed a re-shape. Stepforward Sable, she debuted for the company as Hunter Hearst Helmsley's manager, who then stepped into her own role as an ass kicking badass, she would become a pin up in 1998, whilst also being used to gratify what the WWF was working towards. This would end in 1999, as she left the company, and took Vince Mcmahon to court under the guise of sexual misconduct, and harressment. I'm a believer that thinks, ok, yes the industry was changing, but that shouldn't have come with making someone feel uncomfortable.

1. Black Wednesday.

This wasn't mistreatment of talent, it was seen as an echo that went into the office, and officiating side of the business. Rusev. Gallows and Anderson, and. Drake Maverick were all let go by the company, some after just signing multi-year contracts to stop them from going to AEW. Could WWE do this, well yes, but does that make it right, well no of course not. It was morally wrong, especially given the time frame that the world was  in at the time, this was a bad way to treat people that they call family.
