#3: Buff Bagwell

If Buff Bagwell's career could be summed up in one sentence, it's this: No-one likes a mama's boy. With a great look and often heavily pushed, it's no surprise that Buff got an ego in, and whilst it may have been tolerated in WCW, things were very different in WWE.

Joining the company in 2001, Bagwell faced Booker T in the main event of RAW, for the WCW World Championship.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Bagwell reportedly faked an injury to get time off work, and even had his mother, a former WCW Tag Champion in her own right, to call in sick for him.

This irked the Superstars, and Bagwell was let go not long after, though has been a huge success on the indies, recently re-teaming with nWo members Scott Norton and X-Pac.
