Top 19 Wrestlers Who Screwed Their Wrestling Career

[@TakerKaneanite619]

DDP saved 2 Lives. He is a Real Life Hero

[@apdarkness905]

DDP has always been one of my absolute favourite wrestlers. He's been an awesome underdog-type face and a fantastic heel. After hearing how he helped out Scott Hall and Jake the Snake Roberts, I like him even more.

[@miafillene4396]

Amen on that. He is a true gem, you could say? 😇

[@treyartson6788]

DDP has helped so many more than J.T.S. & Hall. He has helped hundreds get their former life back. Check out his KZbin channel. So many inspirational stories of average joes' he has helped. DDP has legitimately been God send for so many. A true inspiration to all.

[@WiLDHaNdZ]

How so? Its all pictures with no subtitles. How can deaf people enjoy this?

[@anilate]

+WiLDHaNdZ Not to mention it provides bad information. Triple H screwed his wrestling career? His main event spot was merely delayed. Daniel Bryan? Sure he was fired but came back later that year to become the most beloved wrestler in recent memory. Neither of these are examples of people who screwed themselves.

[@RGRIMM1986]

+Bryan Merrill II I think what they were getting at here was people that set themselves back big time at some point. It just so happens that those guys came back in a big way.

[@anilate]

RGRIMM1986 Maybe so, but they still feel out of place with people who actually screwed their careers away. Those missteps are really just blips on their careers. Again, Bryan was back only a few months later and immediately got in a feud for Miz's US championship. If anything, getting fired helped his career. Otherwise, he would've been buried at Summerslam like the rest of Nexus. And none of the original members survived that.

[@RGRIMM1986]

+Bryan Merrill II that's a good opinion, and what you say about Bryan I agree.

Those drug rehablition faculties scare the hell out of me, they are a complete scam. Anyone who mentions to me anything about rehab, AA, NA, etc I instantly distrust and have a low opinion of. They use a lot of pschylogical tactis to brain wash people and have them keep returning or turn there life over to "Jesus".

[@raym.778]

I don't think "screwed their career" is the proper way of phrasing the theme of this video. Especially when Triple H makes the list.

[@toddbramlett4819]

+Ray Mabry yes how can triple h be even on the list, marrying the boss's daughter, possible next owner of WWE

[@thomasjenkins7506]

+Ray Mabry HHH was buried unbelievably after he did what he did. HHH should have been top tier when stone cold and the rock were, but because of his actions, he didn't reach that spot until after the rock and stone cold's careers were almost over. so yeah, i'd say he screwed his career pretty well.

[@raym.778]

Thomas Jenkins​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ First off, I think "buried unbelievably" is a bit of a stretch. And "a bit of a stretch" is a gross understatement. Second off, Triple H was never top tier with Rock or Austin' because A) He was a heel and B) He's far less charismatic or entertaining than either. Rock and Austin can pretty much do their own thing as a singles performers and fans will never get bored of them, especially Rock. (not to mention they're better at reinventing themselves over time) Triple H always had to have someone paired with him to enhance his position. Whether it was Chyna, DX, the McMahons, Evolution, Austin, etc his character always had to be inextricably tied to others to pop. Rock and Austin were megastars that transcended wrestling, drew crowds, and moved merchandise based solely on their name. It *took them leaving* for his position as a character to advance. And even then it wasn't that good tbh. And I say that having been a huge fan of his. And finally, his career wasn't screwed at all. He has more championships than either, a longer career, secured a spot in the company that allows him influence over not just the direction of the company but the retelling of past events (even those related to himself) and all without being their equals, at least as an entertainer or as a draw for the company. If you think that his career was in any way screwed because of that, you're either kidding yourself or you don't know what a successful career looks like. It was simply a short-term setback and quite frankly he recovered from it a lot quicker than others have recovered from their setbacks. People have been injured longer than it took him to resume his push and the fact that he resumed it *at all* is s pretty significant thing. It's something few stick around long enough for once they've been depushed. Examples of wrestlers who screwed their careers would be *Chyna* (Not being able to come to terms with WWE on her contract or handle Triple H's affair causing WWE to sever ties with her permanently) , *Jeff Hardy* (failing WWE wellness policy and generally being unreliable causing WWE to never push him to the next level) , *Rob Van Dam* (winning the championship then getting busted for pot, thus causing him to be stripped of the belts and ultimately never reach that height of his career again), *Bret Hart* (leaving for WCW, being used poorly, being retired in WCW and never going surpassing or even equaling what he was previously in the WWF). Triple H is not only a success, he's a major one. All the curtain call is at this point is a nice little story to tell about his rookie years. 

[@gamekeeper777]

+Ray Mabry Bret screwed Bret.(sorry just have to add that whenever possible, kinda a nervous tick, lol.)

[@thomasjenkins7506]

***** for the trajectory that triple h was on, yes he was. he had a short IC title reign after the incident, but his push wasn't resumed for another 2 years. if you don't consider that buried, you don't know what buried is. yes, he has since had tremendous success, but that's the nature of having such a long career.

[@theceng]

warrior didn't hold vince up for more money. That was revealed years ago. HHH didn't approach warrior. He tried to get brisco to go to warrior about it. Warrior went to HHH and said if you want to say anything say it to my face man to man. A bit of research would be nice

[@allhailmegatron8043]

He absolutely did. Not days before SS as reported in the past but rather weeks before. He demanded to be paid equal to Hogan or he would stay at home with the people who cared about him. This was proven with released correspondence between him and Vince.

[@LARUSBATCH]

+Megatron0451 the correspondence in question revealed that Vince had agreed terms such as equal payment with Hogan for the 0800 number. Vince had repeatedly failed to live up to the promise.

[@TheFearmoths]

Great video and good list, but you forgot Rob Van Dam. He had to drop 2 titles because of getting arrested on drugs charges. I was a huge RVD fan until then and him winning the world championship was a highlight, but I felt really let down the way he threw it all away and was so unapologetic about it. His career was down hill from there and it's his own fault.

[@TheFearmoths]

+The Fearmoths I would also add Marty Janetty. I'm sure WWE had big plans for him and gave him several chances, but he blew them every time. They did well to get Shawn away from him.

[@Grandmaster_Sub-Zero]

I'm a huge RVD fan, and I have to agree with you on that. That drug bust really fucked him over. BUT, a week later he was scheduled to lose the belt to Edge anyway. Him being a huge pot heat was the main reason why he didn't get the push he deserved in WWE. I'm still a big RVD fan, but I am a little disappointed that he let such a stupid habit fuck himself over.

[@themadviking5746]

Rvd got busted smoking a joint , not a shocker he' a very open bout his luv of Mary Jane so why so let down ? he used to have a RVD 420 catch phrase ....

vince told bret he couldnt pay him what was in his contract (highest in wwf) and hart left to get double that in wcw

[@John3121000]

NO mA'M your services aren't required

[@mikeg155]

Watch the wrestling with shadows documentary and listen to some shoots from Bruce Prichard. Bret wanted to stay, Vince wanted Bret to leave. He didn't think Bret was worth the money he signed him for, as he focus became Shawn Michaels, plus he wanted that money to pay for Tyson at the following Wrestlemania. Vince told Bret to see if he could get the contract with WCW, and even helped set up the meetings between him and Bischoff. Bret was pushed out the door, yet they painted him as a traitor leaving for the big bucks.

[@NinaCatherineWillmon]

And look what happened to him once he arrived in WCW. Totally misused, even with all that money he was getting.

[@robertcolfack26]

JAKE THE SNAKE WAS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER OF ALL TIME !!! UNDERTAKER WAS MY SECOND FAVORITE BUT ONLY HIS EARLY YEARS IN THE WWF !!!

[@Thatdeal79]

Not sure why Triple H & Daniel Bryan was on this list. They both became top stars after their mentioned incidents.

[@dkg46342]

+Thatdeal79 Agreed. And Triple H is pretty much running things now, I'd say he recovered nicely.

[@KM-lc6hj]

exactly he put daniel bryan over so daniel didnt screw his career

[@AmityvilleFan]

+Thatdeal79 Because AT THAT POINT they resulted in a massive setback. Seems though WWE believes in Second Chance.

[@RowdyRodimus]

+gagnashdiak x Plus it wasn't even WWE that wanted to fire DB, it was Mattel and other sponsors so Vince had to go with it. They already knew that they'd "fire" him and then a few months later bring him back when the heat died down.

[@swinetrek]

And he's so bad, the company is headed for the S bend. It's already in the toilet just waiting for someone to push the button and flush it all away.

[@TheElectricMrPJ]

cool video, cool facts.

[@DanielJackson98]

1:41 how is letting Stephanie go first “messing with the boss” thats called being a gentleman...

[@victorvazquez3926]

Seth Bradley no its called being a mangina.

[@blackearl7891]

No one said it wasnt a stupid reason.

[@toughtittypdiddy4634]

I get that but he had no business putting his hands on Vince.

[@ingee6699bi]

solid list.

[@illuminatedperspectives2894]

This list makes no sense whatsoever. Half of these wrestlers were huge successes and the other half are still active in the WWE.

[@areality40]

+Andre Ellis I think you're missing the point... some of them were huge successes who still managed to screw themselves from being even bigger stars.

[@illuminatedperspectives2894]

areality40 I fail to see how Bret Hart could have been bigger and i think everyone would agree that he didnt screw himself. He had a very sucessful career.

[@MexicoHecho]

+Andre Ellis i think brett is a bad example because he was already leaving the wwe.

[@eriknilsson9074]

So true

[@BradleyVolk3]

No shit. I said the same thing. Plus that shit with Warrior has been proven false from documents Vince signed himself agreeing to Warriors demands WAAAYYYY before SS91. It's online. On Warriors' wiki page I believe.

[@areality40]

Shelton Benjamin, Dr. D David Schultz, Jack Swagger, Charlie Haas, Shawn Stasiak, Steve Blackman, Heidenreich, Marty Jannetty, Rick Rude, Sean O'Haire, Ken Patera (that's just to name a few that can be added).

[@fgc_teavirus9438]

+areality40 Regal as well.

[@michealsmith4709]

Drew McIntyre, Maven, Matt Hardy, William Regal, Muhammad Hassan

[@RGRIMM1986]

+#makesinglemoms2k16 l Those are all really good ones not on this list. Though The last three especially should be.

[@fgc_teavirus9438]

+#makesinglemoms2k16 l Agreed. Particularly Regal and Hassan. Regal cost himself a lengthy heel title run. Shame too.

[@michaelmarriott9761]

Actually Hassan didn't screw his career that character was doomed from the start.

[@screamrad218]

Vince McMahon threw Hassan underneath the damn bus. Then fired him for no reason. It’s fucked up.

[@lancecolbear1281]

Great video!! I love it but I disagree with the Dolph and HHH parts because Triple H did screw his first run as champ but he even admit he might not of been ready any way so it worked out better for him to later be the top heel and have multiple title runs. As for Dolph Ziggler we really do not know why he is getting screwed. It might be what he says on social media more then anything. I have not seen him get injured to much compared to people like Wade Barrett.

[@saltedllama2759]

HHH did not screw his wrestling career - he screwed his way to the top, and screwed a lot of other guys out of wrestling moments and careers.

[@marlonmalone6041]

Every top guy did

[@evilwarlockofchaos]

Who did the Undertaker screw?

[@GreatMewtwo]

+evilwarlockofchaos How do you screw the dead man?

[@michaelmarriott9761]

He did kind of delayed his career. He did that curtain call so he lost his push to win the 1996 King of the Ring.

[@groundbreaking8913]

And he screwed stephanie of course

[@SurgeCess]

Thanks for making a video with good commentary and not just slapping a bunch of pictures and video clips over some garbage music. Much appreciated!

[@robertopacheco2943]

[@vincentjoubert5514]

They also missed the Big Guy, Ryback!

[@robertopacheco2943]

@@vincentjoubert5514 yea right!

[@chrisdavis8830]

Good video I would think that Vampiro might should be on this list. I was a big fan of his in WCW and he was put over by Ric Flair and Sting. I Don't recall what happened exactly to him but some how he fell off the map. I know Flair complained about him being stiff and I know he lost favor with his relationship with the ICP but I am not sure if that is why he didn't go to the top

[@johnchavez1523]

He hosts luca underground

[@chrisdavis8830]

Thanks for the update guys but I mean in WCW he fell off the Map.

[@hmwpyro18]

@Chris Davis. He explains most of it in Colt Cabana's podcast. He said he hated the politics and the excess drug usage in WCW, and basically went back to Mexico, where he was a pretty popular name

[@chrisdavis8830]

Thanks hmwpyro18 I'll go look for it

[@JaKaiAmor]

[@SlatRock]

[@Deathpool_04]

+Slat Rock I love Benoit but to be honest, he does deserve to be on this. He still had a lot to live for especially in the wrestling world. If he had lived, he would've been the face of ECW, an ensured HOF status, and having his own wrestling school. Problem was, he worked too hard to entertain the fans that it not only destroyed his body and mind, it destroyed his career and everything he stood for.

[@BreakingNVain]

+Deathpool_04 No one said anything about Benoit.

[@Deathpool_04]

Bryant Woods Nice copy and paste skillz.

[@BreakingNVain]

+Deathpool_04 If anyone would recognize...

[@kaylynowens2981]

My only problem with this is what you said about Dolph Ziggler's concussions. He might have caused the second one by overselling, but the first one (after he won the title) was caused by Jack Swagger. Other then that, the video is great and very informative.

[@gulinp1]

Only idiots and wwe bots can say that Jeff Hardy ruined his career. Him and his brother are part of hottest angle in wrestling today. Freaking Brother Nero !

[@CocoWilliamsAJ]

Ahmed Johnson and Nailz should be on this list. Johnson thought he was a big star, and refused to listen to veterans when they gave him advice. And Nailz attacked Vince. Nailz was actually invited to the WWE Performance Center to help the students.
