6 WWE Superstars who were reportedly bullied out of the company

#4 Palmer Cannon

Cannon was a breath of fresh air but was quickly gone.

After three years on the indie scene and time in Deep South Wrestling, Palmer Cannon was callup up to SmackDown in 2005, as a representative from the Network. WWE’s parody of UPN, who they felt were interfering too much in WWE programming, Cannon was often at odds with then General Manager Teddy Long, with Cannon often going behind the Hall of Famer’s back.

Whilst an entertaining gimmick, Cannon’s time on WWE TV would only last a few months as fans would never see the man compete in a match. During an Italian stop on a European Tour, Cannon quit the company, flying home with a different airline than the rest of the Superstars, and leaving only his wrestling gear behind.

Cannon’s abrupt departure was down to the bullying he suffered at the hands of John ‘Bradshaw' Layfield and Chris Benoit, with Mr. Kennedy, who had only just debuted on SmackDown, later revealing that the two World Champions felt no remorse at ending Cannon’s career with their bullying, with the Wolverine seemingly taking Cannon’s presence on SmackDown as an insult.

Whilst WWE tried many times re-negotiate a deal with Cannon, he refused to return, or even speak to anyone representatives from the company ever again.
