* HatedByAll: Had become this during WCW's later days. On the August 23, 2000 ''WCW Thunder'', [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure WCW Commissioner]] Ernest "The Cat" Miller insisted that, despite the other wrestlers' wishes, he couldn't fire Disco because he had a "no-cut contract." This led to a scene of the Filthy Animals walking out of Miller's office and coming face to face with Wrestling/JimmyHart and a hallway full of wrestlers and other WCW employees. Hart asked and the Animals had to tell everyone that they couldn't do anything.
