5 things you'll never ever see again in WWE

Now, as a publicly traded company, it is crucial for the WWE to maintain a positive public image

#3 The Brawl For All tournament

Though Bart Gunn won the tournament, his career didn't last long

For those younger fans, let me fill you in on one of WWE's worst ideas.

As the company was arguably at its peak, the WWF decided to host a special tournament in 1998, one not for wrestling, but for fighting.

Known as the Brawl For All, it was the company's answer to MMA, which was being led at the time by UFC.

A completely voluntary tournament that did not include top stars like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin or The Undertaker, the gimmick was panned by fans, who didn't want to see this real fighting as part of the program.

The Brawl for All also led to a series of real injuries for the Superstars, and with UFC now the biggest MMA game around, it'd be foolish to bring the sport back to WWE.
