3 Wrestlers who turned down WWE contracts, and 3 who turned down WCW

#3 Turned down WCW: Yokozuna

The Superheavyweight held the WWF title twice

One of the literal biggest stars in WWF history, Yokozuna was a tour-de-force during his in-ring career, holding the WWF title twice, with these huge championship wins coming over Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan.

After leaving the WWF, Yoko would never return, but would also never join WCW. According to Konnan, who competed in both WWF and WCW, their was a small window for Yokozuna to join, as Scott Hall offered the super-heavyweight a quick pitch with Eric Bischoff.

"One time Scott [Hall] was with (Eric) Bischoff and he [said to Yokozuna], ‘Man Bischoff is right here. Let’s make this happen.’ Yoko said, ‘I don’t roll like that. You don’t just put someone on the phone and tell me to sign.’ He got offended and he never came in,”.

Sadly, Yokozuna's weight was his downfall, as he died aged 34 in 2000 in Liverpool, England.
