I was just wondering if the WWE have ever rehired anyone they released? I was just hoping that if they have there is more chance of Hardy, Haas, Kidman, Spike etc. coming back?

Do you mean generally close to when they were released or ever? Because I can name a shitload of wrestlers who have come back after a few years.

Ever.

Kinda like:

'Joey Joe Bob Shabado has been released from his contract. The WWE wish him the best in his future endeavors.'

Then, anytime later.

'Joey Joe Bob Shabado made a shocking return to WWE last night'

Like, the WWE changed their minds and brought them back.

Hogan, Nash, Hall, Raven, X Pac, Steiner... Now that I think about it, like two-thirds of the WCW roster who was ever in the WWF/E.

More recently, Eddie Guerrero.

Eddie was released???!!! I bet the WWE are glad they brought him back.

As for me, I'm hoping the WWE will bring back:

Charlie Haas.
Rhyno.
Billy Kidman.
Spike Dudley.
Mark Jindrak.
Molly Holly.

So much talent...wasted. :nono:

Yeah, when Eddie had all of his drug problems he was out for a year or so and they resigned them when he got his act together.

I believe that Austin was resigned as well, although I'm not positive if he actually lost his contract when he walked out.

Another one would be Brock Lesnar.

Also, Viscera and Gangrel. (Although Gangrel was hardly on the active roster.)

Brian Christopher is another guy who was brought back from being released, and then was released again - both times due to his drug problems I beleive.

Like everyone said above, tons of guys qualify here.

no.

WWE has never re-hired someone they fired.

Doing that would be completely ridiculous and hypocritical. I know I'd be pretty pissed off if the WWE fired me and then begged me to come back, I would slap them.

If you are fired, there is obviously something wrong, and that something can obviosuly never change for every single last person fired by the wwe, and the WWE will NEVER re-hire someone, even if they fired the entire roster.

come on man, it was such a broad and stupid question, i had to play off it... i was surprised nobody else did

It's like asking "did anyone ever kick out of the pedigree"

oh, I actually thought you were being sarcastic at first, but the way you wrote that made it seem like you were trying to prove a point.

Of the currently employed WWE Wrestlers, the fallowing have been released and resigned...(please note I am just looking at the WWE SuperStar page so if they haven't updated their roster don't expect me to do it)

Jerry Lawler
Kane
Ric Flair
Stone Cold
Viscera
Al Snow
Eddie Guerrero
William Regal

OK, so there are the currently wrestling WWE guys who have been resigned after their release, there are only about 351 other wrestlers who qualify for this as well who arn't currently with WWE.

Kane
I thought that Kane has had a contract since he was DDS? Because he was the fake Diesel in 1996 and debuted as Kane in 1997.

Actually his Fake Deisel gimmick lasted until January of 1997, however in February of 1997, he was released from his contract (even though Vince McMahon really enjoyed his work) so when they came up for the storyline of Kane in September of 1997, Glen Jacobs was the first one they called. So....................the end.
