Do you have a favorite wrestler? Let us know your all-time GOAT in the comments!

[ajtaylor]

Albert Del Rio did everything possible to get himself blacklisted even after he was given second chances. Kidnapping??? Wasn't expecting that.

[jm]

Seems like Vince should have some accountability🤔
It was his operation!!!

[dkmenace]

Jaxson Ryker wasn't blacklisted. He was released with dozens of wrestlers during the "budget cuts" moves made.

Watchmojo, factcheck your stuff.

[teamsaunz]

You forgot to mention Ryback hurt many wrestlers in the ring and that was another reason why he was released.

[WithFearGaming]

Ryback is kind of a monster, I'm okay with him being blacklisted. Dudes off his rocker.

[knowledgeseeker]

I knew Chris Benoit would be there. A posthumous ban is still a ban.

[DerangedVoices]

Sunny deserves to be in prison for the rest of her life. Obviously she doesn't learn from her mistakes.

[holdemdang]

Support for Trump doesn't have anything to do with BLM. That's lame.

Chris Benoit needed help, but received none. He had severe brain injuries, and received no attention. What happened to his family, AND him, was such a tragedy. They should absolutely talk about him, and acknowledge the company's hand in turning him into what he became. He deserved better, and his family suffered for it. What he did was horrific, and also completely avoidable. Rest in peace to the Benoit family, and my heart goes out to the rest of the surviving members.

Kevin Owens And Sami Zayn are my favourite wrestlers and two of the reasons why I keep watching wrestling. They’re just as lovable as Mario & Luigi In my eyes.

[RandomTrinidadian]

I still cant believe there was a time i heard people saying Ryback could be the next Goldberg.

Now knowing just how dangerous he was in the ring, i know better. That dude aint never stepping back into the ring, he is not safe to work with. And that is implying any promotion would want him.

[NekoHibaCosplay]

The tragedy behind the reason is understandable, but it's sad that, among a lot of other features, Randy Orton can't even brag about being the youngest world champion in WWE history anymore because he won the WHC against Benoit at Summerslam, and it was in fact his very first World championship belt, that's why I think it's sad he can't openly talk about it.
As far they had mentioned it they never showed him holding the title because they had to imply against who he won it.

[KOHMisterBrown]

Vince Mcmahon himself should be Blacklist as well. And Hulk Hogan too

[itsfatboy]

So chris benoit had another son who wasnt there and he eventually grew up and currently is wrestling however WWE has blacklisted him even though he didnt do anything except just being the sole survivor

[staticlegend]

How much Ryback has fallen. Also sad that Enzo got into the heat that he did. He had so much potential.

[kidzp]

Just so you know:

Enzo, as obnoxious as he is, has made a legitimately emotional video saying that he misses Jon Huber (AKA Luke Harper) after the latter passed away.

Ryback wouldn’t admit it, but he secretly regrets leaving WWE.

It’s rumored that WWE might unban Chris as long as he’s mentioned in a historical sense, and not a promotional sense.

[davidireland]

I found the Ryker one really really weird. Think about it, he made pro Trump comments and got blacklisted. Are we all forgetting Vinces relationship with Trump? That Linda WORKED for Trump during his presidency.

[williamsummerson]

RIP to Nancy and Daniel. What Chis did was senseless, sick and horrific. My favorite wrestler of all time is Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[harleydawn]

Chris Benoit needed help. He had depression, insomnia, mood swings that were caused by head trauma due to the concussions that he had received over the years. Most people don't realize that all that can cause someone to do the unthinkable. I don't agree with what he did but I will not hate on him. Think about how he felt going into the ring night after night feeling exhausted from the insomnia and worthless because of depression.Add in the fact that he also abused alcohol, something was bound to make him snap. Refusing to acknowledge him as the wrestler that he was is just wrong. It's not like you're celebrating him for killing himself and his family.
