Which Superstars have never wrestled for WWE?

Ironically enough, Antonio Inoki never wrestled in the WWE/F even though he's being inducted into their HOF. Little interesting, no? He competed against their stars, but not under the WWWF/WWF/WWE banner.

Interesting if true.. and I would agree.. but he did wrestle here.. was this for the WWWF? Inoki vs David Schultz

Interesting history lesson here though... Inoki is a 2 time WWF World Martial Arts heavywieght champion. A title LONG forgotten

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_World_Martial_Arts_Heavyweight_Championship

The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship was a world heavyweight championship in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and later in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW). It was created on December 18, 1978, and awarded to NJPW mainstay Antonio Inoki by Vincent J. McMahon, upon Inoki's arrival to the promotion. The title was known for being contested in shoot wrestling fights. The WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship was contested only in NJPW after the promotion became unaffiliated with the WWF in 1985.

During the thirtieth anniversary of Inoki's career, NJPW created the "Greatest 18 Club", a hall of fame. NJPW then created a new title, the Greatest 18 Championship, which was intended to complement the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. The Greatest 18 Championship was represented by the former Martial Arts Championship and was awarded to Riki Ch&#333;sh&#363; in 1990. Ch&#333;sh&#363; lost the title to The Great Muta in 1992. Muta retired the title on September 23, in order to focus on his IWGP Heavyweight Championship title defenses. The title was subsequently officially retired by NJPW.

[edit] Title history
Wrestler: Reigns: Date: Place: Notes:
WWWF/WWF World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championship
Antonio Inoki 1 December 18, 1978 New York City, New York Awarded by Vincent J. McMahon
Shota Chochishvili 1 April 24, 1989 Tokyo, Japan Fifth round knockout

So weird.. I guess he was in the WWF.
 
I'll have to go with Shark Boy since I haven't found any evidence he worked for WWE. We signed to WCW for a contract but released 6 months later.
