in the WWE glory and fame are often one match away the problem is so is the downfall over the years multiple wrestlers have ruined their careers with one single mistake and today we’ll be covering them number 10 Mr Kennedy’s Fall From Grace Mr Kennedy Mr Kennedy had it all he had the necessary Charisma gimmick and mic skills to be a major player in the WWE for years to come from the moment he arrived he had all the makings of a star the fans loved him and he was well on his way to the top of the card as a main Adventure Kennedy was poised for greatness winning the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23 his future seemed bright with a potential Title reign on the horizon Vince McMahon at WWE noticed it too they pushed him immediately he had a major Feud with the Undertaker that legitimized him as a future world champion yet he made a few grave mistakes see what I did there great mistakes Undertaker never mind that attracted the wrong kind of heat within the company and led to his w we journey unfortunately hitting a dead end in 09 a series of injuries and a wellness policy violation started to tarnish His Image however the straw that broke the Vipers his back was when he dropped Randy Orton with a back suplex during a tag team match with the ladder Landing high on his neck while it was an incident rold Kei Thorton a man many would say has a slight temper told the boss that Kennedy was an unsafe worker this mistake was perceived as recklessness and led WWE to lose confidence in him resulting in his release it’s a shame Mr Kennedy had a lot of potential and while he enjoyed a taste of success he could have gone on to be so much more number nine a real American tarnishes his legacy Hulk Hogan is a name that will forever be synonymous with wrestling hulster was the face of WWE during the’80s catapulting the industry into mainstream popularity hell regardless of how you feel about The Man Behind the character Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest draws in the history of the business he was larger than life to many people around the world Hogan was wrestling that’s why his career image and Legacy were severely tarnished when leaked audio tapes revealed them making racist remarks this controversy l to WWE severing ties with him erasing much of his presence from their history and temporarily removing him from the Hall of Fame though he later made amends in return this will always leave a huge stain on his legacy number eight Enzo noori Enzo omori was known for his mic skills in charismatic Persona he quickly became a fan favorite due to his catchphrases and unique style Enzo Had A Gift of Gab like no other he could Captivate an audience with just his words as you can’t teach that however Enzo’s career took a nose dive when he was accused of sexual assault in 2018 although the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence what actually led to his release was the fact that he didn’t inform the WWE about the investigation therefore his once promising career ended abruptly it was a swift Fall From Grace for someone who once lit up the WWE Universe with his words hm I wonder how he’s doing how number seven RVD 420 says you just ruined your push this generation has metad riddle we had everyone knew what Rob vanam was all about all the 420 references couldn’t even be considered Illusions they were dead giveaways RVD was the man in 2006 after years of fans begging him to be pushed during Triple H’s reign of terror we finally got what we wanted and it was seen in front of one of the most hostile crowds ever at one night stand him holding two World titles simultaneously the whole thing was brilliant until it wasn’t in July of the same year RVD was traveling alongside he suicidal homicidal genocidal de defy Sabu when he was pulled over for speeding and arrested for marijuana possession the WWE’s wellness policy indicated it could have terminated RVD’s contract immediately for a transgression but he was suspended for 30 days instead and forced to drop both titles speaking on the icon’s episode of RVD Vinnie Mack revealed how he felt about his arrest I was upset over Rob’s actions because I thought he was above that when something like that happens we have to be concerned about how the company looks and Rob wasn’t Champion for much longer this was the end of any major push for RVD and WWE he wrestled for the company for another year returned several times after and was even inducted into the Hall of Fame but he never had the chance to be the face of the company again he could have done so much more oh well at least he made it to the top despite his run being shorter than any Divas match on Raw in 2011 kids say no to Grass number six Medusa throws her career to the trash can alandre blaze had a successful run in the WWF division until she departed from the company in December of 95 for WCW this was when her career took a hit she National TV ww Women’s Championship in the Bel right here on Nitro this cir the WWE to say the least and led to a long Exile from the company that lasted up to 2015 with both parties finally having a Reconciliation and her being inducted into the Hall of Fame speaking to wwe.com she explained why she chucked the title in the trash on live TV I was under contract and Eric Bishop told me to do it it was either that or I was out the door she she also said she was dubbed a disgrace to the business because of the stunt bishof disputed her version of events on his podcast saying it was her idea in the first place oh yeah she’s not opposed to making money off it but she wants to put the hit on me because she doesn’t remember anything the way it happened she’s delusional number five albertto Rio’s altercation Alberto Del Rio was one of WWE’s top stars during his run with the company but on August 7 2014 WWE announced that a terminated Del Rio’s contract due to unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee the incident happened after her WWE social media manager made a racist joke about Del Rio being responsible for washing dishes when Del Rio confronted him about his comments he didn’t apologize so Del Rio slept him there was a mix of opinions within the industry about the situation as many people backed Del Rio for his actions considering the joke offensive and believing it was wrong of the company to punish him for it he returned a year later but his stock within the company had dropped drastically Del Rio and the WWE parted ways after being suspended for a wellness policy violation in August 2016 he felt discouraged about several of the the WWE’s promises including a supposed Main Event push had not materialized in 2017 diio suggested that the company was racist all these factors combined ensure he is persona non grata and the company number four Daniel P there was something special about Daniel peer when he debuted in the WWE as a tough enough contestant with a history of MMA experience there was an opportunity to present him as a legit fighter like Ken Shamrock in a 2004 episode of SmackDown Kurt Angle challenged Tough Enough competitors to lock up with him in an amateur wrestling contest the Olympic gold medalist defeated Chris n rocki Before Peter stepped up during the contest Peter caught angle in a legitimate kamor lock which could have broken engel’s arm the raap was forced to count a quick pinfall victory for Engle even though peters’s shoulders weren’t on a mat for the whole three count out of fear Angel’s arm would be broken discussing what happened on a podcast Peter called angle a punk and said Kurt was bitter that he outperformed him pter insisted he followed the rules and simply got the best of angle who refused to shake his hand afterward Engle commented on the situation saying it was a wrestling match and he caught me in a submission which wasn’t supposed to be a submission I told him that afterward I said you’re dumb and you pinned yourself if if if it would have lasted five more seconds he would have broke my arm number three Jackson rer after Jackson Riker’s s and T’s Gunner his jump to the WWE brought with him some attention with an impressive physique and intriguing look rer appeared to be on the rise of the big time after spending time in NXT as part of the Forgotten Sons with Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler the team eventually debuted on a main roster on an April 2020 episode of SmackDown the Forgotten Sons portrayed American Patriots on TV and seem to in line for a major push in a Tag Division however a pro Donald Trump tweet from rker in June of the same year during the height of the black lives matter movement ended the teams rise many WWE employees were unhappy about Riker’s tweet mainly since it also utilized the Forgotten Sons as catchphrase his table mates distanced themselves from Riker’s comments but the heat was already there and the team’s push was over rer was removed from the stable and was released a year later number two Brad madx from 2012 to 2015 Brad madx had a memorable run in WWE where he mainly performed as an unscreen authority figure filling multiple roles these roles included being a referee and the general manager for raw towards the latter part of his run he began to appear as an in ring performer primarily in dark matches or House events Night Raw now trying to drag him oh no M with mad ox’s comments during one of these events resulted in him getting the boot from the company and ultimately ending his career madx revealed he was fired for what he called the audience members during a promo I had a dark match in Indianapolis and I call the crowd pricks I didn’t think anything of it that’s never been a bad word to me I didn’t think it was inappropriate Vince was watching and he didn’t like it and that’s all she wrote for him oh number one Vader when Vader debuted in WWF in 96 the expectation was high for the Bonafide wrestling monster to make serious moves in the company as a former WCW champion and a mega star in Japan many expected the big man to slot into the main event scene that’s how he was initially presented even scoring a pinfall over WWE Champion Shawn Michaels in a three-man tag match at in your house 9 the following month at SummerSlam 96 Michaels and Vader had their big matchup for the title unfortunately it didn’t go according to plan leaving a visible irritated Michael screaming at Vader for failing to move when he was supposed to after HBK went for a signature elbow trap well you got the opportunity after the match Sean approached Vince and said he didn’t want to work with Vader anymore which impacted the plans for Survivor Series where Vader was scheduled to win the belt after this Vader’s stock plummeted into promotion and he was released 2 years later Jim Ross himself admitted on his podcast that Shawn Michaels killed Vader’s push in a company what do you think of these career ruining moments are
