** Indeed, Bundy and Studd never were able to prove their case to the fans, which – had they succeeded – Andre would have been "fired" (for circumventing Tunney's suspension).

However, Andre's health held up enough and – after finishing filming of ''The Princess Bride'' and concluding his Japanese tour – he was "reinstated" ... and a heel turn later that led to his famous [[Wrestlemania]] III match with [[Hulk Hogan]] etched his name in history.

* [[John Cena]] was storyline fired from WWE following [[Survivor Series]] 2010, but didn't actually leave the company ([[Cash Cow Franchise|since he's kind of the biggest money-making machine WWE has at the moment]]).
