10 Wrestlers Who Killed Their Careers In An Instant feat. Sullivan Beau Brown | partsFUNknown

[@benespinosa6725]

Paul London was awesome his Elimination from the 2005 Royal Rumble Match was absolutely hilarious he basically did a shooting star press to the floor and I can't believe he got heat for it.

[@Jerry_Freestyle]

From what I’ve heard, the “higher-ups” of the company back then thought it “drove away from the action in the ring” I know right? -__-

[@SamsarasArt]

I don't get why it did. Selling that made his opponent look brutally powerful

[@tremendous2464]

He was awesome, totally agree ^^^

[@Airthugger]

I’ve been listening to London’s stories on the Rene Dupree podcast and it’s insane how much crap they would give him. He was saying that he did one enhancement match with Cena where he got in a couple good moves before putting John over and that they both got heat because Paul apparently looked too strong. WWE management sounds like a complete pain in the ass

[@Ryan01224]

I thought that was the 2004 rumble

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

It's depressing how many people on this list had their careers ruined through basically no fault of their own. David Scultz in particular was hung out to dry by Vince, who basically told him to go rough up John Stossel, then threw him under the bus when it became a PR nightmare.

[@hehehe88]

@@oddishhonor you live by the pr nightmare, you eventually die by the pr nightmare. I'm sad it didn't happen sooner.

[@Bman32x]

I feel the worst for Schultz & especially Bart Gunn. Did nothing but exactly what he was asked to do but just had a devastating KO hook. Could have been his gimmick before the big show and actually been legit!

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

How many careers were ruined by the person just doing what they were told? "You gotta be a man! Be a tough guy! Go out there and prove how much of a badass you are! NO NOT LIKE THAT, YOU'RE FIRED!!"

[@davidcollinsjr4288]

That Ken Kennedy's WWE run ends in the goofy "I'm mad at Denver" match is always wild. What a train wreck of a match.

[@Bman32x]

The wildest part about all of that, is that WWE was actually in the right. They had a contract to have Raw there in Denver, but because of the NBA playoffs (where the Lakers did sweep the Nuggets I think) the nuggets had home court that night & weren’t willing to move to another night. WWE initially reacted brilliantly with just having the show in LA. The pettiness was too much though.

[@reevesbridges177]

Wrestling is one of those weird industries where you can do exactly what you’re getting paid to do and still ruin your career and reputation

[@troy801]

Muhammad Hassan says hello

[@gfear24]

David Shultz wasn't "method acting". It was called "protecting the business". And "The boys" thanked him for slapping the piss out of Stossel. Also, Madusa/Alundra Blayze was 30 years ahead of her time. Imagine had she entered the business at the age she did, but in 2014 instead of 1984 (the year she started training).

[@irrsinnrainer]

"I'm Sullivan Moo Brown..." Thanks, Sully. I was just drinking when you said that...

[@Sienar7]

I don't really accept the Paul London's career being killed here. I don't really get how a person who had a lot left out in the independent scene couldn't really get work after. He was a big indy star when he got signed. He had a lot of opportunity to pick things back up. The fact that ROH or TNA never picked him back up suggest there was something else wrong. He didn't retire after all.

[@stingersplash]

I'd also argue that Madusa and Ken Anderson still had decent runs outside WWE after.

[@arashitendou5941]

I’d consider your not to wrong regarding Mr Anderson I enjoyed a lot of his promo work in TNA And he had some decent matches there too Especially the specialty matches since he was kinda average in the ring Like his triple threat cage match with Sting and RVD

[@erikstensaas1202]

I think what Alundra Blayze did to the Women's Championship was great because that title to the WWF was completely worthless by that point, and kind of stayed worthless until after the Attitude Era

[@arashitendou5941]

Your not wrong I mean I DISTINCTLY recall watch an old PPV DVD of my buddy’s from that era that had that belt as a freakin filler/breather “match” after the tag team title match and another big match And it was just a UNDERWEAR MODELING match As in the winner got it via fan cheers for the woman best modeling her bra and pantries in the ring Really?! It’s why I’m GLAD I wasn’t truly apart of the Attitude Era fan base even though I was born in 1990 Crap like that makes me feel embarrassed Like those people that hooted and cheered for Trish stripping and barking for Vince Ugh🙄

[@KairiPrime]

Actually in Alundra's time, women's wrestling was taken more seriously. No really, look up the difference between women's wrestling in the late 80s early 90 and the late 90s. In fact it was after her stunt of trashing the women's belt that WWF killed their entire women's division. No really there wouldn't even be a women's division again until 98 and the trashing of the belt happened in 95. And even then we would be deep in "Divas" where the wrestling was secondary to boobs and butts until the late 2010s. So that one act didn't just kill Alundra's career, it killed women's wrestling, in the WWE at least, for nearly two decades.

[@advictoriam3106]

[@claytonrios1]

You could say that Alundra throwing the Women's Championship into the garbage was one of the most defiant moments of the Monday Night Wars.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

It was one of the nastiest things Eric Bischoff ever did- convinced Madusa to jump ship to WCW by promising her the best women's division in the world to compete with, talked her into the bin stunt to take a petty shot at WWF, then basically disbanded the entire WCW women's division (preferring the only women on the show to be the Nitro Girls, who were basically just go-go dancers) and forced Madusa to engage in the usual nonsense women in the company got to, which was basically Diva-level rubbish like bikini contests. He screwed her entire career over alright.

Well, while not an on camera moment, CHYNA effectively ended her wrestling career upon asking for Stone Cold money for her new contract. Jim Ross has stated that wwe were willing to pay The Ninth Wonder Of The World $600 thousand a year, likely making her the highest paid woman in pro wrestling to that point. However she was insistent that she be paid the tidy sum of $1 million a year, to be put on par with the likes of The Rock and Steve Austin. Negotiations between the two parties broke down and CHYNA was gone soon after that year's Wrestlemania. I still think that at least part of her motivation for the high pay was to get paid for steph and hhh getting together. Or she really didn't want to be there anymore, knowing that she'd likely have to see them from time to time.

[@OrbyEvil]

[@aliengranpa]

I'm old enough to remember the David Shultz slap. I was only 12 at the time, so I thought it was all just part of the act

[@Dragonatrix]

The Bart Gunn one is also a notable two-fer since by winning the shoot fight against Steve Williams, that also killed Steve Williams' WWE career dead in an instant. The Brawl for All was effectively designed for Dr Death to win as the first step of his main event push to an Austin feud and when he lost to Bart in the semi-finals that was that, no more Dr Death. edit: Also feel like Perry Saturn 100% should be on here too. Going way too hard on a jobber and then getting saddled with Moppy as a consequence didn't just kill his career going forward, it effectively nullified all of his past work too. Ain't no one gonna think about technical master Perry Saturn ever again after seeing a sad boy in love with a mop.

The Nailz character was trying to get revenge on a prison guard who beat him...why wasn't he a face? Also Nailz vs Virgil wasn't cut from the PPV, I watched it. Unless it was in the US version but he should still have gotten some payment.

[@faelirra]

It was the US version where it got cut. Quite a few matches were cut for the US viewership. Not just Virgil v Nailz

[@ZamboniZone]

Actually with Daniel Putter. Kurt Angle made an open challenge for a shoot fight which he wasn't suppose to do and he basically let Angle pin him who Angle reprimanded him for. Apparently Putter's attitude soured pretty quickly is what lead to his firing

[@SuperAttitudeera]

Till this day I still don't blame Daniel Puder for what he did. As a big fan of both Pro Wrestling and MMA there are times you just don't square up and play tough guy to a professionally trained MMA fighter, because a fighter's instincts are wired differently. Kurt Angle is at fault here and he got what he asked for.

[@thancrus]

the bart gun one was infuriating ... he won they could have used him but noooo and whats worse he even said hed have taken a dive to whomever they said its their own fault and they punished him

[@freeflare6338]

Good list, but Madusa and Mr Anderson don't really belong on it. Anderson spent a long while near the top of TNA, and the WWE literally didn't have anything for Madusa to do which is a big chunk of why she left. Also, she did fine in WCW and then was a very successful monster truck driver (perhaps still is, she seems semi-retired at this point). So I guess if it's 'killed your WWE career' then sure, but otherwise they're not really relevant to this list.

Nailz Storyline with Boss Man beating him in prison isn't that far fetched. Boss Man started as a heel in the 80s with the gimmick of a former prison guard who enjoyed beating the inmates.

It's not that it's far-fetched, it's that it's tasteless specifically BECAUSE prisoner abuse is so rampant. That and they never really turned Bossman heel, instead vacillating between that and Nailz falsely accusing him.
