On "No-Showing"
 

Reading recently about Waltman no-showing the PPV assuming it was not a storyline, what are other examples of no-showing? big ones?
The only one I can remember that is not related to Hall, Waltman, etc is back in ECW..Sabu no showed and Heyman came out to the ring and got rid of him.

Jeff Hardy no showed RAW once or twice.

Oh, and Chris Benoit no-showed a PPV once.

And he never made THAT mistake again.

Austin no-showed Raw in a famous incident in 2003 as well.

This is what I was going to say.

I remember Sid Vicious used to do this quite frequently in WWF, no-showing to do his softball games and go to his kids games too (IIRC) - and that may have been one of the reasons he was let go from initial run. I don't think it happened too often, maybe if at all, during his run in the later 1990's.

Austin, if not mentioned in the numerous posts above. I just don't care to click "show post" to see if Xero or Tedious said something intelligent.

I'll have you know that I made a poorly constructed Chris Benoit joke.

Ultimate Warrior did it a bunch of time... Jake The Snake threatened to no-show Wrestlemania 8 if Vince didn't get him some cocaine.....

He knew Vince was holding out.

I believe Shawn Michaels did it once around 1993 or 1994 after he refused to put someone over. Can't remember the details though.

Hogan threatened to not show up to WrestleMania 9 unless he won the title at the end of the event.

Not really what you're looking for but Bret Hart refused to come out for his match vs. Yokozuna at WrestleMania 10 because his wife wasn't given a seat in the arena. Once she was given a seat, he came out.
