5 WWE Superstars who were fired live on TV

3. Eric Bischoff

Bischoff desperately pleads his case to the honorable Judge Vince McMahon

But by 2005, Eric Bischoff's power was waning, as several Superstars hoped to see Easy-E fired from the show.

Listening to his employees, Vince McMahon hosted the "Trial of Eric Bischoff", where Superstars would plead their cases, either for or against the RAW General Manager.

In December 2005, this all came to a tipping point. Bischoff was found guilty by Judge McMahon before being AA'd by then WWE Champion John Cena.

Adding insult to injury, Judge McMahon then dumped the newly-unemployed Bischoff in a garbage truck, which was then driven away.

In reality, Bischoff would stay under WWE's payroll, making sporadic appearances a year later, before leaving the company for other ventures in 2007.
