#2: Robbie and Rory McAllister

Though they never held tag team gold and probably aren't going to be in the WWE Hall of Fame anytime soon, the Highlanders were a fun tag-team that entertained crowds on RAW in the first half of the 21st Century.
In 2008 though, things changed dramatically, when Robbie attended a TNA event, whilst under contract.

Spotted immediately in the crowd, Robbie was called by WWE and told to leave. Though he did, the pair were fined their $5,000 WrestleMania bonus, and if that wasn't bad enough the pair were fired from WWE anyway.
The worst part of all of this though is that Robbie was frustrated at the company, and though he didn't mind getting fired, Rory was an innocent bystander in this ordeal and did nothing to lose his job.
