to watch mojo and today we're counting
down our picks for the top 10 wrestlers
that are blacklisted from the wwe sitch
refused to comment on the case for this
list we'll be looking at wrestlers that
left the wrestling company under a dark
cloud and won't be allowed back any time
soon for various reasons we won't be
looking at the naomi and sasha bank
situation since it's still ongoing at
the time of making the video do you have
a favorite wrestler let us know your all
time goats in the comments below
number 10 enzo amore
the stage was set for enzo amore and big
cass to take the wwe tag team division
by storm after their cult following on
nxt exploded
my name is hanzo a lauren and i am a
certified chief however on the main
roster they quickly fell to the wayside
broke up and amore ended up on 205 live
leading the division as the
cruiserweight champion amore was
released suddenly by wwe in 2018 and the
title was vacated
oh neville
has heard enough
as it turned out he was under
investigation for sexual assaults
allegedly amore didn't inform management
about the case so they fired him the
investigation was later dropped due to
insufficient evidence
[Music]
amore even turned up in the crowd at the
2018 survivor series but was kicked out
by security number nine velveteen dream
appearing on tough enough in 2015
patrick clark was soon signed to a wwe
contract and morphed into the velveteen
dream his persona got over with the nxt
crowd and he was expected to quickly
move to the main roster instead he
vanished wwe claimed it was due to a
back injury but alleged behavior online
was rumored to be the cause
this is a misunderstanding
after briefly returning to the ring
dream was released from his contract in
2021
he was accused of sending explicit
photos to underage boys which he denied
expectorating come on dream later he was
accused of sending images to underage
girls too as well as grooming boys wwe
initially said they found no evidence
concerning the reports but dropped him
nevertheless
a cheerleader
[Applause]
number eight jackson riker
by the time the former gunner arrived in
nxt he was already a multi-champion
during his time at impact wrestling
the renamed jackson riker led the stable
forgotten sons on the yellow brand
before getting the main roster call up
so we're gonna welcome you with closed
fists
as the world was gripped by the black
lives matter movements riker thought it
would be the perfect opportunity to
publicly support then-president donald
trump online for some reason
oh
fellow wrestlers such as kevin owens
mustafa ali batista and more let their
disappointment be known riker was
removed from tv in the aftermath and was
eventually released he'd later generate
more social media controversy by posting
a homophobic and anti-abortion message
to the dismay of fans and former
co-workers never let your enemy escape
what number seven ryback
at one point ryback was touted as the
next big star of wwe he had an
impressive physique which led to
management pushing him for better or
worse as kind of goldberg 2.0
but in 2016 he was sent home suddenly a
few days later he was released
this stems from a contract dispute
rybeck also claims he went against the
unfair pay structure for the roster and
pushed for changes unfortunately any
good will that he raised went out the
window soon after
go get it ryback has numerous times
tweeted his negative thoughts about the
wrestling industry and vince mcmahon in
one post right back slated mcmahon's
mother and referenced abuse before
explicitly taking shots at the wwe owner
yikes
number six alberto del rio
in 2014 alberto del rio was
controversially released by wwe after an
incident with an employee who allegedly
made a racist joke a year later he was
back in wrestling
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
a year after that he was gone again
at the time del rio was also in a
turbulent relationship with paige that
regularly made headlines for all the
wrong reasons
during a live stream following his
release del rio drunkenly threatened
wwe's top dog triple h
later after signing on with impact and
becoming world champion he was let go
after no showing and events not exactly
looking the most professional in 2020
del rio was arrested and formally
charged with kidnapping and sexual
assaults the following year the charges
were dropped taquan's bond was set at
fifty thousand dollars but he has since
bailed out number five nails
in 1992 nails was brought in to face his
nemesis big boss man but he was
shockingly released by the end of the
year
look at the size of this guy boss man
you don't look so tough now brett the
hitman heart spoke about what caused it
in his autobiography
nails met vince mcmahon in his office
after yelling and a loud crash staff
found nails choking the owner
the wrestler claimed mcmahon had made
sexual advances to him mcmahon was
charged with sexual assaults but the
charges were later dropped in 1994 the
wwf steroid scandal was underway in
court where vince was accused of
supplying the substance to his wrestlers
nails testified during the trial that
mcmahon told him to take steroids to get
bigger the wrestler nails gave testimony
his story was that vince mcmahon told
him we need you to get on steroids
number four drake woods
after making his name as a death match
machine on the indies wrestler jake
woods signed for nxt in 2014 and
transitioned into a referee role
eventually he became the brand's head
ref in 2021 he was released from his
contract after a series of controversies
firstly while wearing nxt attire he had
appeared via a county board zoom meeting
spouting unsupported claims against
mandating mask wearing during a pandemic
he later claimed mask wearing aided
child predators woods also criticized
wrestlers that had been vaccinated
during a meeting triple h made a point
that all religions were welcomed at wwe
which appears to have made words angrily
storm outs
all of these incidents made the referee
have nuclear heat backstage
that's good enough for me
number three various nxt uk stars
the speaking out movement that began in
2020 resulted in many shocking
accusations in the wrestling industry as
toxic behavior was rightly called out
and nxt uk's roster was no exception
in fact several of their wrestlers were
accused of various heinous actions
travis banks was accused of emotional
abuse by his former students millie
mckenzie while leguero allegedly
assaulted and harassed several women
gentleman jack gallagher was also
accused of sexual assault he stated that
he was drunk and doesn't remember it
happening but he apologized for the
events
all three wrestlers along with two nxt
uk referees were released from wwe and
had their profiles removed from the
website
number two sunny
throughout her career especially after
leaving wwe in 1998 sonny has regularly
butted heads with the police oh my
also known as tammy sich she's been
arrested for duis
fleeing the scene of an accident
assaults and more tamara sitch in court
this morning after being arrested for
the fourth time for harassing a former
boyfriend but she was welcomed back to
wwe for rare appearances
however that relationship ended in 2022
when she crashed her car which resulted
in the death of a 75 year old man
sunny was three and a half times over
the legal drink drive limits she was
released on bond but that was revoked
when she was labelled a risk at the time
of writing sonny's awaiting trial where
she could get 26 years in prison tamara
sitch is back in handcuffs now that a
judge has revoked her bond before we

well this wrestler is blacklisted in
another way in 2007 the shocking news
came out that chris benoit his wife
nancy and son daniel were found slain at
home
wwe had a show dedicated to the restless
memory
and the only other thing we can do at
this moment
is tonight pay tribute
to chris benoit however the following
day the fact of what happened came out
it was discovered that benoit had killed
nancy and daniel before taking his own
life vince mcmahon made another
statement on wwe programming saying that
with the new evidence the show will be
dedicated to everyone affected by the
incidents and benoit's name won't be
mentioned
therefore other than my comments there
will be no mention of mr benoit's name
tonight since then wwe has done their
best to distance themselves from benoit
and his horrific actions by avoiding all
references to him when possible
