Moral Issues

By Scott Keith on 1 November 2018

Hi Scott.

With both John Cena & Daniel Bryan pulling out of Crown Jewel due to their feeling towards their hosts. I got to thinking, have any wrestlers pulled out of a show before due to real life moral issues? I know wrestlers have missed dates due to contract issues, walking out, etc. But to say, "No, my conscience won't allow me to compete here." is this a first?

Thanks. 

Nope, not at all.  RVD refused to go overseas for a previous tour of the Middle East, for example. There's probably been others that we just never heard about it, as well.
