Examples of Legit Professional Wrestling No-shows
- Sunny could not be bothered to perform, under the impression that she was irreplaceable (today she would be referred to as a Diva). She was then fired and replaced.
- The Ultimate Warrior no showed several dates in 1996. He explained he was taking time off to grieve for his dead father, but Vince McMahon did not believe him due to the fact that Warrior hadn't seen or talked to his father in 10 years. Warrior was suspended, and ultimately released.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin became frustrated with his career and his injuries, and failed to appear not once, but twice. However, because he was so popular, he shortly renegotiated a return.
- Chavo Classic no-showed a SmackDown! house show; he was reportedly frustrated with the booking of his character, believing he should have been booked as a living legend instead of a comedy act. He was fired just before a SmackDown! taping two days later.
- Jeff Hardy no-showed at TNA Hard Justice, when he was booked to fight Raven in a "Clockwork Orange House of Fun" Hardcore Match. Sean Waltman took his place. Hardy was suspended for three months, returning at TNA Sacrifice.
- Jeff Hardy again no-showed at TNA Turning Point 2005, where he was scheduled to compete in the six-man preshow match. Lance Hoyt took his place in the match and Hardy was immediately removed from TV and his status with TNA is questionable.
- Sean Waltman ended up no-showing TNA Unbreakable, where he was scheduled with Alex Shelley as winners of the TNA 2005 Chris Candido Memorial Tag Team Tournament to fight in a Four-way Elimination Match for the NWA World Tag Team Championship. He was in contract negotiations at the time, but was also talking to WWE. As of now, where he is going is unknown. According to sources, he arrived late to the show and was written out of the match. As of a return to TNA at their Final Resolution PPV in 2006, it seems apparent that Waltman is back with the company.
