6 Superstars who didn't join WWE for unusual reasons

#5 David Starr

David Starr has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons as he has been accused of sexual abuse, resulting in several wrestling promotions disassociating with him.

Starr, who has been a part of several European wrestling promotions, revealed last year that he has rejected WWE a few times due to them not providing healthcare, which European promotions offer. This is what he had to say about rejecting WWE's approaches:

“I’ve been contacted by them before and I’ve turned it down a couple of times. The thing that doesn’t hit home with the European audience is the health care thing. Because [you’re] very fortunate to just go to the hospital. That’s one of the reasons I moved to the UK. Being a professional wrestler, it’s hard to afford healthcare, the things you need.”

This is unusual as he would have earned a lot more in WWE which would have covered his healthcare expenses. Most American-based wrestling promotions do not offer healthcare to its employees, which rules him out of wrestling in the US, if he ever returns to pro wrestling following allegations against him.
