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.

[@cQueuecumber]

@@miafillene4396 with a cutting-edge Gem finisher.

[@cQueuecumber]

@@treyartson6788 are you aware of DVDs still in existence? You didn't mention them... I got a little worried that you were like one of those kids in High school that doesn't know what a VHS is.... Be kind, rewind.

[@davidlarsen2580]

Dolph Ziggler is a fucking sad case. Of course i'm not talking about Zigglers great in-ring-skills, but irony that he is so good at selling others so they get push instead of him. Remember when he cashed in against Del Rio? the audience blew the roof. And remember, he was heel at that point

[@prod.gregupnext2958]

He needs a big push

[@thewatcher3035]

it doesn't help that he got injure every time they gave him the world title

[@tristarea08]

numerous concussions

[@prod.gregupnext2958]

yea but he got better now

[@dilungmoveityafool777]

+David Larsen Dolph Ziggler got his own self-screwed over. He admitted to getting in trouble a lot backstage and saying things to kill his push.

[@SylentEcho]

Warrior squashed HHH because Vince punished HHH for the "curtain call" incident. Warrior just went along with it. Who wouldn't?

[@beracuda1]

Dude Titus was just being a gentleman.

[@Kiddingyoumust]

[@HoneyRuruka]

D.D.P is a fucking hero man.

[@asmrmy9664]

Fact. Thered be a lot more dead wrestlers. A true hero

[@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.

Damn DDP is amazing, maybe his true calling in life was to own a rehab clinic

[@michaelmarriott9761]

He is a Yoga Instructor but he also helps former superstars to turn their lives around like Jake Roberts and Scott Hall.

[@williaml3546]

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". My cousin and numerous other people I've know have been in and out of rehab for over a decade. Coicidence? yeah right, and of course it's always the indivduals fault and never the program or the faculity.

[@Mecanotech]

[@erics3886]

@@williaml3546 if someone doesn't want to get clean and mean it, there is nothing anyone can do. You could have the best rehab in the world but if the person isn't ready to put the shit down, then they will be right back where they started.

[@williaml3546]

@@erics3886 Honestly I've been to rehab three times and I've never been addicted to anything or a hard user of anything, I think it's nothing but a giant scam used to control and brainwash people.

[@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.

[@clearspira]

DDP Sounds like a pretty awesome guy to help out all of those guys with their addiction problems.

[@gamingdragon1356]

so you can either be vince's lapdog or get fired . Just like any other company.

[@leenreviews6497]

true. wwe were hypocrites for putting out self destruction of the ultimate warrior dvd. while he may have rubbed them the wrong way, the things they buried him for on it were things other wrestlers had done (and gotten away with, so long as they were still on good terms with the company, meaning mostly vkm).

Ya but he was wrestling in the territory days, hes been a world champion just not in the wwf, thats why i hate how people bitch and complain about wrestlers not being pushed like wrestlers back then, there were so many territories which had 5-10 top guys, the wwe is basically the only main company now ( AEW got some time before its considered a major player )

[@idjames4354]

THIS CHANNEL IS WAY UNDERRATED

[@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.

[@ProjectMopar6]

DDP is the complete opposite of his character he actually take good care of those guys

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 !

[@averykevin47]

it was never Alundra blayze's decision to throw the WWF women's title belt in a trash can on National Television in WCW. The whole idea was that sawn off prick of an executive producer Eric Bischoff. he was The Mastermind behind it because he would do anything to get ratings for WCW and never did give a damn about his superstars. the first thing alundra blayze did when she arrived WCW was that she asked Eric Bischoff what she should do with the title belt asking if she should send it back and then Bischoff replied "No Alundra don't send it back, we're going to go on live television and you're going to bad-mouth Vince McMahon and his company and drop the title belt into a trash can." and that's exactly what happened.

[@personalemail1632]

she still did it, though, Vince doesn't who's decision it was

[@KISSFanBD]

They copied what Riddick Bowe did to the WBC title in boxing shortly before this. Also Vince had Flair show up with the WCW title on TV a few years before. He didn't throw it in the trash but still it was meant to harm another promotion by doing that.

[@KISSFanBD]

[@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 ....

[@westie0113uk]

+Death_Dealer a stupid habit? whilst your favourite wrestlers are popping pain and sleeping pills left, right and center, RVD uses a natural plant to help with the knocks he picks up.

[@Grandmaster_Sub-Zero]

All stupid

[@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.

[@knottheory79220]

+cengiz temi I can't answer for the rest, but Warrior certainly did hold Vince up for money, $550,000 to be exact. Here's the letter written in his own handwriting. He makes his demand on page 5 (The last page). docs.google.com/file/d/0B-NNkZSWAAYlMDMyQ1VIVVMxaUk/preview?pli=1

That match with Sting at Victory Road wasn't all Jeff Hardy's fault. TNA knew he was unfit to wrestle and let him go out there anyway. Seriously they (TNA) were partially at fault for that mess. Because they allowed it to happen.

[@royrogersmcfreely9551]

you forgot rvd, he was to be the new face of the company in 2007 taking the wwe title from John cena who had it for freaking ever then got fired for smoking weed, also titus oneil, didnt do anything serious to get suspended over, bret left to wcw to earn 2 mil a year so i wouldnt call that a screw up, and carlito wanted out of the company for a long time

[@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.

Jeff hardy was in the UK last year when I seen him live

[@XionGaming2912]

It's because the UK don't mind letting people in on a temporary 1 day work Visa, especially when they know the person will definitely be leaving and has sponsors

[@Maikeru1979]

@@XionGaming2912 his not being able to leave the country ended not to long after the Hardys left Impact Wrestling. as his probation/parole for the large drug arrest ended. The whole time that Jeff was with TNA/Impact Wrestling he wasn't able to leave the US to do the UK tours that they did every January. Usually writing him off of TV using an injury angle.

[@groundbreaking8913]

And he screwed stephanie of course

[@maciverson4309]

I would never put Bret on this list. In no way, did he screw himself, or his career. There's so many layers and reasons that went into him refusing to put Shawn over at Survivor Series. Vince and his producers refused to listen to Bret and his justified reasons going into his departure.

[@screamintom]

yes we know about the Montreal Screwjob but they should stop repeating it because now its getting be ridiculous.

[@LordChrisBerg]

I haven't watched wrestling in a long time. Thank you for this list. Very nostalgic.

[@ThePro-WrestlingTrueCrime]

idk if Bret should be on the list. Vince wanted to let him go he didn't want to leave.

[@Jordanashbaugh]

kinda true kinda not true. brett was already called by turner in wcw. and rumor was brett was leaving anyway to go to wcw

[@dante040]

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.

[@llynellyn]

Alundra Blaze didn't really screw herself, she became a bigger star in WCW than she ever could in WWE and ended up wrestling Flair, Savage, etc. She retired in 2001 because she didn't like the direction women's wrestling was going in, but she wouldn't have returned to WWE anyway as she hated McMahon (who would have brought her back given the chance, he brought Hogan/Nash/etc back).

[@tylercooper9328]

Jeff was not released by WWE look it up it was an equal parting of ways in a sense but WWE really didn't want him to leave abd said when he left he could return whenever he wanted to and the "door" was always open and probably still is for him to return

[@regismiller3021]

Wendi Richter was also screwed over by Vince and the fabulous moolah over Wendi rocking the boat over money issues

He went from being a former tag team champion to a jobber to the stars. Then he was unemployed. The he was brought back to the WWE in the jaw-droppingly humiliating role of an African tribesman named Saba Simba.

[@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.

He attacked Vince over money or being forced to take steroids. Another story says he claims Vince McMahon sexually harassed him. The money and steroids stories I can believe, but the sexual harassment story I doubt. Vince McMahon is a sleaze, but I think he only targeted women for sexual harassment.
