Just looking back at the Braden Walker induction, it got me thinking of all the past performers who showed up for about a week or month (or even just one day!) before being shown the door. I can recall numerous times wrestlers that showed up in WWE and WCW only to be fired shortly after.
Muffy - A Wrestlecrap inductee, she only had about 5 minutes of WWF TV time until getting the boot. In case if you don't know the story, Muffy was brought it to be Steph's personal trainer with undoubtedly the most ear-stabbingly voice of all time. Rumor has it that the Muffy character was dumped because it made it look like Steph was FAT.
B.B. aka Barbara Bush - Probably one of the most absurd gimmick given to a diva. Cathy Dingman debuted as a EMT technician sharing the same name as the former First Lady. Her only major appearance was in the swimsuit competition at Royal Rumble 2000.
Phantasio - Ridiculous magician gimmick slapped on Harry Del Rios. Yet another Wrestlecrap inductee.
Public Enemy in WWF - The victims of backstage politics, Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge made their way to WWF in March of 1999, but only appeared on about two episodes of Raw and then vanished. It's a shame they didn't get a decent push into Wrestlemania XV to go for the tag titles in front of a Philly crowd.
Ernest Miller in WWE - I think he had more time being an announcer on Velocity (remember that show?) than actually competed. He debuted at Royal Rumble 2004, but then got cut two weeks later.
Shane (Dean) Douglas in WWF - He appeared for a bit around Royal Rumble 1991, but probably his most infamous foray into the WWF was his role as Dean Douglas.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts in WCW - We all know the horrible "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" Halloween Havoc with the Coal Miner's Glove match, but what you probably didn't know is Roberts and Bill Watts butted heads while Watts owned WCW, so it was no surprise that Roberts' tenure with WCW was a short and quick one.
Kizarny - As if you need a refresher, he spent more time making debut vignettes than actually wrestling in matches.
Ultimate Warrior in WCW - Here's the abridged version of Warrior's tenure in WCW: shows up, makes mind-numbing promos, makes Brutus Beefcake his bitch, wrestles Hogan in one of the worse matches in WCW history, goes home.
