From debut to departure - the fastest wrestling binnings

[Lenin]

Kizarny always springs to mind for me, although he lasted 66 days between debut and release. Honking look, honking music and honking move set.

And the build up vignettes for so long for him. Why did he get ditched? Was it just because he was shit?

Not even being edge's mate from childhood could help. He was THAT shit.

Inspired by this post by Lorne Malvo and, of course, by Max Caster being sacked by TNA for comments made within the first few seconds of his debut for the company. 

I don't want to limit this to just sackings for bad behaviour, but what are the best examples of companies binning wrestlers following their first appearances?

Here's my pick - if it even counts...

Brian Kendrick was dumped from AEW before even making his debut after clips of him resurfaced spouting out mad conspiracy theories including Holocaust denial. 

He didn't even get beyond the graphic hyping a match... 

 

Not having this about Hade Vansen. There's still time for the "Prophecy" to be..."Realised".

Fuck me that was a weird promo. Also the idea of Hade Vansen going from the FWA to fueding with The Undertaker is wild. Even now.

Buff Bagwell, WWF 2001. Wrestles once on a house show, once on RAW, his mum phones in sick for him after he gets in a fight with Shane Helms and he's gone after that.

Kronik, they squash Kaientai and then the lousy match against Destruction Bros at Unforgiven, and Clarke walks out and Adams is demoted straight after.

TNA probably has a shit tonne of these. Road Warriors turned up in TNA to make the save and then tagged with Jarrett and Dusty Roads. Randy Savage made a few appearances then does nothing in his 1 matches until the last 30 seconds, not seen again. Both were probably for the best.

For me, Test is the most egregious example of TNA bringing in an ex-WWE guy for a week or two before fucking him off. Came in after 7 years of doing absolutely fuck all of note, was immediately put in a main event angle with the likes of Sting and AJ Styles with virtually no history with anybody involved, and then disappeared after one match.

Christ, even Rikishi lasted over a month.

They fired him because he was too roidy even for them. He was fucking huge. Veins bursting out of his arms. Horrific.

James Storm's one appearance in NXT springs to mind. He wasn't fired but deciding not to sign long term after all and heading back to TNA was certainly a choice considering the stacked roster he could have had some outstanding matches with in NXT around that time.

Two (presumably inter-promotional) angles that never went anywhere that I don't think have been mentioned:

Jeff Jarrett attacking Hulk Hogan in NJPW, bloodying him up with a guitar shot.

Atsushi Onita and The Sandman getting into it in ECW.

I remember the Onita one seeming like a big deal very briefly - there was an assumption that we'd get a no-ropes exploding deathmatch or something.
