Nine times I have 10, you do not want to get fired from your job. Because do not forget if you are let go, it probably means you're not going to make any money, and you're going to wake up every day going, ugh. It's just what we as human beings do. I don't know what that noise was. But when it comes to the world of professional wrestling, especially a few years ago before the birth of AEW, there were a lot of superstars

who were like, I'm having a really good time, but please, oh please, can I just leave?

So my name is Simon from What Culture, and yes indeedy, this is six times WW wrestlers tried

and failed to get themselves fired.

Number six, the Revival.

So you always imagine that it was going to be quite hard for the revival when they did

go from NXT to the main roster, because they were super duper proud as they should have been

of being professional wrestlers and not sports entertainers, and they even said this a few times.

As we know, Vince McMahon did not like that word.

Das and Dawson still went out there every single time and had killer matches,

but you could kind of see the frustrations,

especially when they started sub-tweeting the likes of New Japan Wrestling,

and the Young Bucks, and at one point, they even came out wearing gear

that had hashtag FTR on it, which was

an in-joke that wasn't happening with inside WWE. It was happening in other promotions. I mean,

flipping Cody Rhodes had started that when he had said flubbed the revival on an episode of

BTE. This was like all our worlds coming together or like a forbidden door being opened.

Remember those days when no one knew what that meant? Ah, that was great. There were even rumors after this

that they were so frustrated that they got a sit down meeting with Vincent Man and told him,

look, we ain't very happy here because we just want to do really good wrestling stuff

and you're making us be infused with the Usos where we have to rub ass cream on us.

Apparently, WWE still offered them bumper deals, but they said, no, we're not interested.
