Mick Foley has become well-known as The Hardcore Legend in WWE, but the Hall of Famer doesn't have the best track record as an authority figure. Interestingly, he's the only WWE star on this list to be fired twice, by two different people.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Foley was fired from his job as the Commissioner of RAW by Vince McMahon back in 2000 before his daughter Stephanie went on to fire Foley from his job as General Manager of the flagship show 17 years later.

Following his departure back in 2000, Foley wanted to retire from the business because it was getting difficult for him to wrestle. Bruce Prichard even revealed on his podcast that Foley wanted this to be his only WWE retirement, which didn't end up happening.

Foley's most recent departure was an emotional one since he was shown saying his goodbyes to the WWE roster backstage. Like many other stars on this list, Foley had given WWE notice and the company was aware that he wanted to leave because he was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery.
