Transcript

00:00Whoa, whoa to those poor fellows who destroy their own careers as quickly as someone trying to say,

00:07Oh no, I've lost my career, but I needed that. Where did it go? Did you take it? Did you?

00:14No, dear wrestler, you lost your own career.

00:17Did I lose it for a good reason, governor?

00:19Not really, little wrestler. You lost it for most likely a stupid reason.

00:23Most likely you were very silly and managed to upset someone or hurt someone or sneeze with an earshot of Vince McMahon.

00:29It might seem like it would be difficult to destroy one's own career in an instant, but you'd be surprised.

00:34When I first started working in the WrestleTalk offices, Oli nearly sat me on the spot for making him a tea that wasn't almost entirely milk.

00:41Luckily, my boss is a lot more forgiving than your average wrestling promoter,

00:44and so I only had to wear a cow costume around the office for the next three months.

00:48I'm Sullivan Moo Brown from Parts of Unknown, and this is 10 wrestlers who killed their careers in an instant.

00:54And while you're here, make sure you don't kill our careers and click the like and subscribe buttons,

01:00because if you do that, we can make more fun lists and Oli might let me change my name back.

01:04Number 10, Robbie McAllister.

01:06Do you remember the great WWE tag team era of 2006?

01:10What on earth do you mean?

01:11We had tag teams like the Spirit Squad as champions, and there were loads of them, so they must have been great.

01:16No, it is fine. No one can recollect the tag team scene of 2006, despite having teams like Crime Time who are fondly remembered.

01:24At the time, there was also a duo by the name of the Highlanders.

01:27Sort of a callback to their spiritual New Zealand ancestors, the Bushwhackers,

01:30Rory and Robbie McAllister were somewhat successful during this time in WWE.

01:34However, it all came crashing down with one fateful trip to Universal Studios in March 2008 for the latter McAllister.

01:41Robbie, real name Derek Graham Couch, was in the crowd on a live edition of TNA Impact at the Impact Zone in Orlando

01:48and was shown on camera by his real name.

01:51This reportedly led to a WWE official calling him and ordering him to leave.

01:55The show was mere days prior to WrestleMania 24 weekend and caused McAllister to lose his $5,000 WrestleMania paycheck as a result.

02:03Robbie would later go on to say,

02:04I was very unhappy in WWE, and in retrospect, it was kind of my way to get fired.

02:10Well, it worked.

02:11As he and his partner, Rory, were released in August that same year.

02:15Number 9. Nails

02:17Nick Gage wasn't the first ex-convict to make it into the big time.

02:20Before Gage gained popularity in GCW, WWE opened its doors to a character named Nails.

02:27Introduced in a feud with his former prison guard who beat him in jail, Big Boss Man,

02:30yeah, 1992 storylines everyone,

02:33Kevin Nails Wacholtz faced Virgil at SummerSlam 92 in London's Wembley Stadium.

02:37After culminating his feud with Boss Man in a lacklustre nightstick on a pole match,

02:42Nails and other performers were scheduled to receive their payments from the successful SummerSlam event.

02:46However, due to his match with Virgil being cut from the pay-per-view, Wacholtz didn't receive his pay.

02:51Taking matters into his own hands, Nails angrily confronted WWE Chairman Vince McMahon,

02:57and as any rational person would do, reportedly choked him in this confrontation.

03:01Unsurprisingly, he was immediately fired.

03:04Wacholtz responded by filing a wrongful termination lawsuit claiming Vince McMahon had sexually harassed him.

03:10The company filed a counterclaim which led to both sides dropping their suits,

03:13and needless to say, Nails never wrestled in WWE again.

03:17Number 8. David Schultz

03:19Dr. D. David Schultz is a pioneer in making professional wrestling believable in and out of the ring.

03:26His commitment to his character was chronicled in Vice's Dark Side of the Ring episode.

03:30The incident that made him most famous is what could be viewed as the moment his career was dead, however.

03:352020 reporter John Stossel was working on an expose in 1984,

03:39showing wrestling as a staged event,

03:41and had an interview with Schultz set up by Vince McMahon himself.

03:44The interview took a turn for the worst, when Stossel told Dr. D.,

03:48I think this is fake, and before he could get any further, Schultz slapped him twice.

03:52During the Dark Side of the Ring episode, Schultz recalled his conversation with McMahon ahead of the interview.

03:57Vince comes walking in, and he said,

03:59Listen, we've got a guy out here making a joke of the business.

04:02I want you to go out and interview with him, blast him, tear his arse up, stay in character, Dr. D.

04:07The PR nightmare that resulted from Schultz's method-acting approach to wrestling led to his firing from WWE.

04:12Number 7. Brayden Walker slash Chris Harris

04:16Wildcat Chris Harris was one of the stalwarts of TNA during their early days,

04:20with his America's Most Wanted partnership with Cowboy James Storm,

04:24helping to be a stabilizing force for their tag team division.

04:27Harris showed shades of his singles potential after the duo broke up,

04:31and seemed to be destined to be a main event player for the promotion down the line.

04:35However, after his TNA contract expired, Harris sided with WWE to work on the ECW brand.

04:41If starting out on the WWE ECW show wasn't enough of a setback,

04:45the company put the nail in his coffin, with a name change and a first segment that has gained infamy for how brutally bad it truly was.

04:52Introduced in a backstage segment with Teddy Long and Armando Estrada,

04:56the renamed Brayden Walker gave a knock-knock joke with the enthusiasm of Ben Stein and Ferris Bueller.

05:01Following only two matches with WWE and an overall unfortunate decline as a performer,

05:06Walker was released from the company just one month after his debut.

05:10Number 6. Daniel Puder

05:11It isn't every day that someone's career ends before it really gets started,

05:15but this seemed to have been the case with Tough Enough 2004 winner Daniel Puder.

05:19During the competition, which was the first season not entirely filmed in the reality television format,

05:24the contestants took part in contests in front of the live audience on episodes of SmackDown.

05:29One such contest saw Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle take the competitors through their paces in the ring.

05:34Angle broke the ribs of the first person up, which caused the second up and Puder to not want to suffer a similar fate.

05:40Daniel shot on Kurt and locked him in a kimura, using his MMA background to his advantage.

05:46The referee had to count a fast three count to avoid Angle not having his arm broken.

05:50Of course, no one backstage was pleased with this incident.

05:54Angle and the locker room were in fact furious.

05:57However, Puder was eventually voted by the fans as the winner of Tough Enough over Mike the Miz Mizanian.

06:02Yeah, that Miz guy never amounted to anything anyway.

06:05Puder then appeared in the Royal Rumble and was taken to the woodshed by Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit,

06:10and especially Hardcore Holly during the Rumble match.

06:14Puder was dumped from the match and never seen in a WWE ring ever again.

06:18Number 5. Brad Maddox

06:20You may remember Brad Maddox as the crooked referee in the CM Punk vs. Ryback Hell in a Cell match back in 2012.

06:27Or as the Raw General Manager for two years.

06:30Two years?

06:31How did no one realise he was Raw General Manager for two years?

06:34Well, his runner's head of the brand ended with a segment at a non-televised house show.

06:39To rile up the fans in attendance, Maddox cut a promo in which he called the crowd cocky pricks.

06:44To be fair to Maddox, that is what Adam calls us before every Quizzlemania to rile us up.

06:49Alright, you cocky pricks.

06:51He bellows.

06:51You know what I want.

06:52And that's some f***ing great content, you slags.

06:55A week after the incident, Brad sat down with Rolling Stone and said,

06:58I didn't think it was inappropriate at all, especially for a dark match.

07:01I was out there trying to work up the crowd.

07:03It's not for TV.

07:04I'm making fun of the hometown and their football team and talking to them directly.

07:08I was just trying to warm up the crowd.

07:09That was my role.

07:10It just didn't work out.

07:12Unfortunately for Maddox, after this incident, he was never seen in WWE.

07:16Number 4.

07:17Mr. Kennedy

07:18This is the entry where a series of instances led to a wrestler's career being killed.

07:23When fans think about the great Money in the Bank winners in history, they unfortunately do not bring up Mr. Kennedy Kennedy.

07:29In 2007, Ken Kennedy, aka Ken Anderson, seemed destined to become a future world champion.

07:35An injury led to Kennedy having to lose his briefcase and guaranteed title reign to Edge.

07:39But the injury turned out to be not as serious as initially reported, so he returned less than three months later.

07:45Upon his return, Kennedy was pegged to be revealed as the long-lost son of Mr. McMahon in an angle that would have elevated him up the card.

07:51Unfortunately for WWE, he was one of 11 wrestlers named in a steroid scandal, which led to his subsequent suspension and Hornswoggle being revealed as McMahon's son.

08:01Finally, Kennedy's final downfall in WWE came in 2009 following a 10-man tag team match where he performed a botched back suplex that caused Randy Orton to land on his head and neck.

08:13Orton complained about it afterwards and persuaded John Cena to complain to Vince McMahon as well about Kennedy's in-ring performance.

08:19He was released by McMahon not very soon after.

08:23Number 3, Medusa.

08:25Medusa, aka Alanda Blaze, was one of the most acclaimed female performers in all of wrestling in the late 80s to 90s.

08:32WWE devoted the entire women's division around her abilities, which led to three WWF Women's Championship reigns.

08:39In late 1995, due to contract disputes, Medusa made the jump to WCW in the midst of their ratings war with WWF, while still being women's champion.

08:48Her debut was one of the most talked-about moments of the Monday Night War, when she threw the WWF Women's Championship into the bin.

08:56This one segment ruined Medusa's career in her own words.

08:59On the Bischoff on Wrestling podcast, Medusa talked about this moment defining her career for all the wrong reasons, saying,

09:05I went through crap.

09:08This was the defining moment for everybody for 20 years.

09:10I had to live with that.

09:11It ruined me.

09:13Despite this, Medusa is still viewed as a trailblazer in professional wrestling and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015.

09:21Number 2, Bart Gunn.

09:23Bart Gunn was viewed as a reliable hand and tag team specialist during the mid-90s in WWE,

09:28as one half of the smoking guns with his storyline brother, Billy.

09:32Then came the now infamous Brawl for All tournament.

09:35The brainchild of Vince Russo was only made to one-up John Bradshaw Layfield,

09:39who claimed that he could beat anyone in the locker room in a real fight.

09:43Despite the entire tournament being tailor-made for Dr. Death's Steve Williams to become a main eventer in WWE,

09:48it was Bart Gunn who stunned everyone by knocking out Dr. Death and then JBL in the finals to win the tournament.

09:55WWE could have pushed him up the car due to this, but they instead punished him for winning.

09:59Imagine being punished for winning.

10:01That'd be ridiculous, but at least Will Washington can find solace in the fact that he's not the only one who's had a maniac spoil their victory.

10:08And if you don't know what I'm talking about, please go and watch the Will Washington screwjob that is QuizzleMania 49.

10:13Gunn went on to face knockout artist Butterbean in a boxing match of WrestleMania 15,

10:17with Bart being knocked out in mere seconds.

10:20In Vice's Dark Side of the Ring episode devoted to the tournament,

10:23Bart Gunn said,

10:24The mid-2000s saw a wave of high-flyers and expert workers that would go on to hit the mainstream wrestling scene as years went on.

10:39One of the first to graduate from the independent scene to WWE was Paul London.

10:43Along with Brian Kendrick, this duo won Tag Team Gold on two occasions.

10:47He added another reign with Billy Kidman along the way as well.

10:50In June 2007, Vince McMahon was in a somber state following losing his hair to Donald Trump and the ECW Championship to Bobby Lashley.

10:58In one of the most baffling angles in history, WWE did a Vince McMahon appreciation night.

11:04That ended with the depressed Vince walking by a lineup of superstars that included Paul London, who went off script.

11:10Instead of looking concerned, London was smiling from ear to ear at what was about to happen.

11:15Vince would then step into a limo that exploded once he slammed the door.

11:19The angle fell flat on its face after the unfortunate events of the Benoit tragedy, but Paul London was on borrowed time from there.

11:25He would eventually be released months later.

11:27So yes, London killed his entire career with a smile.

11:31Yes, a smile.

11:33And that's our list.
