I would also add Austin Aries and Low Ki being that they burned so many bridges because there attitude they companies would always end up parting ways with them. Shane Douglas kind of falls in the same boat. Low Ki and Aries seem remarkable for how consistently they've flamed out and burned bridges, because they're both such fundamentally awful human beings who can't even be forced to learn even when their behavior costs them money year after year, going into decade after decade.

An underrated one is Akira Maeda just ask Riki Choshu and Tiger Mask 1 how much of an abrasive ass he is. This is true. What a prick. To be fair, Tiger Mask 1 was also a massive prick.

Yeah, Shawn was probably the most powerful pain in the ass but he would know when to cut it out if it was a detriment to his career/once he got sober. Ki and Aries have dickheaded their way out of every single promotion that they've ever been in, almost every time mid-push. Shawn was an addict on a power trip, Aries and Ki are just f***ing assholes who can't understand that the reason they haven't been successful is that they're f***ing assholes.

Buzz Sawyer? Heard he was a real jerk, using borrowed gear and not returning it, also roughed up guys being careless in the ring.

Scott Steiner in WCW was completely out of control and makes the likes of Michaels/Hogan look like saints. He would go off script and say whatever he wanted in promos. He would go around ringside yelling obscenities at fans despite WCW being a PG show. He hit a backstage worker with a truck. The story Bischoff told about him basically sexually assaulting rookie referees. He would refuse to job to certain people. He would beat the crap out of guys in the ring for real. He beat the crap out of DDP backstage because DDP dared to stand up to him after 1-2 years of him constantly making vulgar comments towards his wife and driving her out of the company. The weird thing is he was apparently on his best behavior in WWE and TNA. There aren't really any stories of him being unprofessional but in WCW people backstage were living in fear of him he was such a menace. Jordynne Grace speaks very highly of Steiner. Which just feels bonkers Lance Storm also spoke highly of Steiner as Lance mentioned that Steiner would try to make him laugh while he was cutting his Team Canada promos in the back. I'd have to go with HBK also, tremendous talent in the ring but there was a time where this guy was a pain in the ass to deal with and to get him to do any type of business. On top of that he was a giant asshole to most people not in the Kliq.

Modern day, we can also add Tessa Blanchard to the list….scorches so much earth that she hasn’t worked a single match in the last year or two.

I don't know.
In a way, I think I may have rather dealt with Shawn Michaels over the era of Benoit, Holly, JBL, Eddie and Undertaker. Seems like they would have taken you to Wrestler's Court for the smallest petty things.
Although Wrestler's Court is pretty stupid, I do have to say it was pretty funny that after Goldberg took Jericho to court, Judge Triple H ruled against Bill and forced him to admit that Jericho was a better wrestler than he (Goldberg) was.

Which just feels bonkers It probably makes a difference she'd have known him way after his peak "being an enormous bully" years. I also strongly suspect Scott was much easier to deal with when Rick was no longer part of the equation.

Buzz Sawyer? Heard he was a real jerk, using borrowed gear and not returning it, also roughed up guys being careless in the ring. Buzz was absolutely awful. I forget if it was Stan Lane or Dennis Condrey at that point, but Cornette suggests Buzz was narrowly saved from a lethal encounter due to banging on their door and falling for whatever reason, I forget exactly. That said, whichever Midnight Express member it was, they'd reached for a pistol since Buzz absolutely had no hesitation about starting a fist fight with people, and he was such a drugged out mess that they weren't going to take their chances.

Heard that story, it was Condrey. Buzz and Brett were feuding with the Midnight Express when they first arrived in Crockett Promotions in '85, Stan was still in the Fabulous Ones around then.

Makes sense, also feels way more in-character for Condrey to have a gun on him.
