Wrestlers Who Killed Their Own Careers 

Teddy Hart is the poster-boy for “self-destruction”. More than Ultimate Warrior was

Can't forget about Sexy Star. She made a bit of a name for herself in Lucha Underground but she became persona non grata even in her native Mexico when she willingly tried to break Rosemary's arm during a triple threat match in AAA.

I am really surprised Sexy Star has to wait for part 2...

The Ivelisse one hurts man. She's one of my favorite wrestlers

Concerning Nailz, he also wrestled one match in WCW on Pay-Per-View against Sting as 'The Prisoner'... This would be around 92 or 93

It's funny that Ivelisse is even on here. Considering that Thunder Rosa, at this point, has been known to have backstage issues, and there even needed to be a backstage meeting where she had to squash some beef with other performers. That speaks volumes.

The Ivelisse bit is REALLY interesting considering ALL of Rosa's issues backstage in the last year and a half. AEW may have fired the wrong woman

Alex Reilly didn't kill his own career. Injuries and back stage politics killed his wwe career. Glad to see Reilly back on the horse in the NWA

Oh man, Alex Riley is one of the saddest stories when it comes to burials of wrestlers. I don't know exactly how the incident with Cena looked like, but based on Cena's other actions at the time (Nexus, Kenny Dykstra, burying Del Rio at NoC 2011, killing Lesnar momentum at Extreme Rules 2012) I'm willing to stand on Alex Riley side. He had everything - look, fantastic theme song, he did really well with (and against) The Miz, athleticism and definitely had some charisma. And then he totally wasted his 30s. I honestly had a good feeling after he came to regular competing in 2016 (and he was jacked) but it ended with another Jobberland visit. It's too bad, I really hope he'd at least get some midcard run in NWA to end career on his own terms with some positive outcome, he deserve it.

I'm surprised you don't have Tessa Blanchard on this list I mean she is really good and had worlds of potential her work in impact wrestling is so underrated it's unfortunate people just wrote it off because of the company but to me I don't think she's ever done any interviews or get her voice out there to any degree to fight the rumors of that she's difficult to work with and deal with backstage and the various heat she had with other people.

0:37-Alex Riley 5:09-Nailz 7:42-Ivelisse

Regarding any post- wwf activity for Nailz. He did wrestle Sting at WCW Slamboree '93

After the Thunder Rosa scenario Ivelisse doesn’t seem so bad as it pertained to her time in AEW. However, there’s two sides of the story.

I forget how long miz has been doing it. I really hope he gets one more heavyweight title run

Ivelisse is the prime example of "it's always someone else's fault but my own"... she really did bury herself

I know people take sides with Ivelisse and Thunder Rosa, but I hear stories about both. So I am thinking there has to be something to both of them just not mixing. But Tony has made a massive effort with Rosa trying to get her in better standing backstage. Surely, he could have done the same with Ivelisse and had an extra star around. Especially with the rumored roster split coming up. It is reallllly hard for me to take anything Baker says with any credibility as she has shown she is only out for herself imo. Baker allegedly holds other talent back and even looms a massive shadow over Jamie Hayter's first title reign. It should be all about Hayter - fans like and want more Hayter, but Britt is always along to be an attention vacuum to her reign to maintain top billing and relevance, it appears. I hope I am wrong. But it's what I perceive.

Nah disagree on this. Rosa was the cause, ivelisse stood up to her and got in trouble for it

Tbf with thunder rosa’s drama afterwards with other people and her antics, I mean, was ivelisse wrong? Could’ve been a bit more professional; but she wasn’t unprofessional either. It’s sad how she just got taken off aew tv for that when Rosa seems to be a common problem

I went to the same high school as Alex Riley (the R on his letter jacket stands for "Robinson.") Joey Mercury went to Robinson as well, he was actually in my class (class of 97.)

Odd, I thought this was about wrestlers that killed their own careers but they started with Alex Reilly? I mean it's been said by a lot of others that it was Cena who burred him, and nothing on is end really.

Fun Fact!: -Michelle from Tough Enough 2011 was ALSO on Americas Next Top Model! -Jeremy from Tough Enough 2011 was ALSO on Daisy Of Love!

I wish Alex Riley would come back man

Thank u for all the research keep videos coming.

I believe the sexual misconduct accusations against Vince by nailz 😅

Nailz wrestled for years after he left WWE. he had a stint in WCW, even wrestling Sting at Slamoboree, and competed in the World Tag League in NJPW.

Bro….I LOVED IVELISSE! And forreal! There was a time where she was always on my timeline! and this isn’t the first time THUNDERROSA HAS had a problem with a girl…..I THINK THUNDEROSA IS THE PROBLEM

Please do another bradon collins video watching more cyn!!!!!

thunder Rosa isn’t an innocent soul either so im willing to believe she had a great deal to do with that

Someone never saw the infamous Nailz vs. El Gigante in the '94 G1. 😂

Ivelisse was kinda right, damn.

Surprised Sexy Star was not on this list. Someone else is going by that name now, but the original one, I believe, does not wrestle anymore after intentionally hurting an opponent in the ring.

I'd say A-Ry's career isnt dead, but wrestling for NWA might as well count as pro wrestling's post mortem.

Alex Riely reminds me of Grayson Waller's prototype version

I liked Alex Riley’s feud with Kevin Owens in NXT

Thunder Rosa has now sandbagged and been uncooperative with other people as well so Ivelisse deserved lesser blame

Kinda shocked that you didn’t include Ultimate Warrior on this list.

Ivelisse Is still Wrestling in the indies.

Stories like Riley's makes me wonder how good a person John Cena actually Is, especially to people who go against what he wants.

Shanna had a similar case in AEW, she stiffed a match with Leyla Hirsch

Too bad about Ivelisse. She has the look, the charisma, & the talent. She's her own worst enemy.

Alex Riley vs Juice Robinson in NXT feels like a fever dream

Yea but Alex Reillys “involvement” in wrestlemania is like me staying in the same hotel as the bloodline and pulling in at the same time to check in

These videos end very abruptly.. and I like it for some reason. 🤔

Hearing Alex Riley got buried for not wanting help makes me think of Hangnail Adam Page saying he doesn't listen to the veterans.

Wow what a list! Since this was uploaded just 3 hours ago, add Punk.

You could put in alot of the nexus and the 3rd member of the core you could also put in the rest of the new breed from the reboot ecw

Alex Riley is the one comes in mind

Riley is not the first wrestler that Cena buried.

Ivelisse got screwed over....don't understand how people don't see that.

Nailz went to WCW for a cup of coffee as "The Prisoner"

Maaaan I had no idea that Nailz used to be all jacked af 😐

Honestly with all the stuff coming out about Vince, I would like to know more about Nails side of things because.....that fits Vince VERY well.

How is Big Swole not on this list?? she certainly didnt help herself essentially calling TK a racist. His reaction was daft sure but that killed her career.

Alex Riley was solid super cena destroyed him the 100 rated T shirt, arm bands, Shorts and shoes

Are u going to do a part 2

Vince McMahon didn't screw Bret Hart....he had some 'ring boys' in his office to do that!!!!😂❤😊

I'm sure Shockmaster should be in here as well. One of the funniest segments in wrestling history ever.

Surprised didn’t mention the diamond the undeniable Tessa Blanchard.

With every wrestler being hired as an "independent consultant" everyone basically has the same job title and people who can order you around appears to be based on seniority. That's like serving on a ship with several first officers. You can have one Veteran give you instructions that are contradictory to those of another and it may not be clear who can over-ride who's suggestions. Some may give instructions to haze the new kid. This sounds like a difficult environment to navigate until you learn the pecking order.

You should include this one freak that have some insane meltdown about T-Shirt WWE released, was flaming everyone to be racist, and was released. I don't think he's doing anything in wrestling business now, maybe wrestle in some barns etc.

Nailz went to WCW after wwf…name was “the convict”. Those creative geniuses…

If i remember correctly Nailz wrestled in Australia

"Sick" Nick Mondo wrestled Nails?? 🤣🤣🤣

Nailz wrestled as the prisoner in WCW 93 ... I swear no one does fact checks .

It's never a WWE thing in terms of how they treat you and you can't get out from it in wrestling Drew McIntyre was a jobber that lost to the small bull guy in case people forgot Kenny Omega and AJ Styles got popular before and without WWE Y2J and Moxley is earning more than the top earners of WWE in AEW

Does anybody know the briefcase Alex Riley was carrying during The Miz’s Wrestlemania entrance?

whats the background theme and the second?

Go back and watch the actual, 1st, in person debuted of Nailz. I challenge you to find a better debut of a wrestler on ANY program, besides Jericho, Taz, Kane... I mention "besides these...." and begin to list some of the all time greatest wrestling show/TV debuts. Why? Because I stumbled upon this exact thing a few weeks back and lemme tell ya.... NAILZ JUMPING THAT GUARD RAIL and beating THE EVER LOVIN PISS out of the big bossman is hands down one of the best debuts in wrestling, even up this day. Speaking of "this day," you may think you're kinda watching something from "to this day" when u see the sheer brutality and unrelenting helpless asa kicking that's given out. Truly a great, sadly forgotten, but absolutely amazing on-screen debut... NAILZ, bruh..... NAILZZZZ

Thunder Rosa is the problem.

What about Manu and Ted debiase Jr

I can’t believe Nailz had been wrestling so long and had been so BAD at it.

So we're gonna ignore Nailz sexual assault charge against Vince 💀

Shall we bring up No Way Jose?

It's a shame, I really liked Alex Riley. Loved his turn on the Miz.

Alex Riley reminded me of CAW from the video games who became alive

Ivelisse is notorious for no selling and going into business for herself. She’s an instigator and a troublemaker and couldn’t get along with any other women in AEW. It wasn’t just Thunder Rosa who had problems with her, that’s for sure. And I’m glad she was fired. Also, let’s not forget she’s friends with convicted s e x offender Chasyn Rance of the infamous Team Vision Dojo in Orlando. Several underage girls get trained there and have been subjected to harassment and abuse. There really needs to be an in-depth deep dive video done on that place as soon as possible!!!

They said that Mandy Rose could return anytime she wants to they said the door was always open for her return if she want to .Her fans only page will probably keep her from returning or signing with another promotion .

Doesnt sound like Ivelisee Perez killed her own career. Sounds like Thunder Rosa killed her momentum.

Thought ivelisse was crazy at first but now it seems like Rosa is just better at manipulating and politicing. After Rosa pissed off Britt, Jamie, Toni, and Saraya it makes way more sense that she’s badmouthed ivelisse in both companies.

Pretty sure that "Push Rage" sign was Matt McMuscles

Nailz went on to work for the AWF...... a short lived federation that REALLY looked the the land of WWF has beens.

AEW should give Ivelisse another chance

Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🥰💕😍👍

I ONLY SAW THE NICE BEHIND WITH A ON IT 😂

Nailz: He gave me steroids!!! Also Nailz: Looks like a potato.

Marty Scurll Tessa Blanchard Austin Aries Gunner Ryback Enzo Amore Ultimate Warrior Alberto Del Rio EC3

Heard that thunder rosa is two faced and uncooperative as well as unpopular backstage

Surprised Tessa Blanchard wasn't mentioned!

You know what, maybe Yvelise was right about Rosa there were rumors that Jamie hayter wanted to fight her and she had heath with her and britt.

Velveteen dream and Tessa Blanchard are probably saddest Both could have main eventd mania

How is Sexy Star not on this list, and not #1?

Ah yes, Nailz the wrestler. Not to be confused with Nails, the groundbreaking Powerviolence band.

Holy shit, the Nailz sexual assault case may be brought back up with everything going on. Crazy that got brought out slid under the rug then.

A What Happened To of all the guys and gals from Tough Enough might be a fun topic . If you could track them all down that is lol !

I have a feeling this and The Wrestling Degenerates are gonna have a fair bit of overlap.

Well after all the allegations against Vince this year, I believe Nailz about the sexual assault. Vince screwed Nailz...

would also put Benoit in this. obviously due to unfortunate circumstances, that ruined his reputation& costed multiple lives

Bet Joey Ryan's high up on this list. I haven't watched yet but come on it obvious....

Nailz was built better than i thought
