Big Cass, the man who really, really wanted to beat up a midget. This is the one that gets me. Like, I can understand things like spite, arrogance or personal scandals coming to light, but this is baffling. Literally everyone involved, up to Vince himself, told Cass not to do this. What was he expecting by pulling this stunt?

Here's what I think: have an opinion? Fine. No one should harass or judge you for that alone. Just don't hurt anyone with it. So it is with Sasha.
Anyway....for my choice....I'm gonna be the one going for the low hanging fruit, aren't I? How about.... killing your family and taking the easy way out?

Making Kobe Bryant rape jokes certainly was one way. Making said tasteless joke your hill to die on even more so.

Oh man, I remember Amy Zidian. Barely. Jimmy Yang's story about the night she got fired is pretty funny, assuming it's still on YouTube somewhere.

What was he expecting by pulling this stunt? It was basically a "Snyder is gonna film a Green Lantern scene anyways" moment. He truly believed once everybody saw how awesome it was they'd change their minds and appreciate his vision. Like Snyder, it didn't happen.

I'm amazed that everyone was convinced it was a work for months before it came out and nope, Austin Aries really threw a tantrum and tried to ruin their biggest ppv of the year. It was also the same show where Alberto came out and demanded why Borash didn't call him. Alberto/Borash was BFG 2017, Borash's last night was when Aries came in to Impact in early 2018 and beat Eli Drake for the world title, then Aries was meant to face Alberto at Redemption 2018 but Alberto got all coked up and no-showed the Wrestlecon Mania show beforehand. Penta was Alberto's replacement for Rebellion and beat Aries for the title before dropping it back on Impact, then Aries/Morrison took place BFG 2018. God, that post-GFW recovery period was a mess

Going on a racist rant on your secretly recorded sex tape with the wife of a radio DJ has got to be high in the running. I get annoyed when people say it's about saying the N-word. Like, yeah, that's part of it, but what he was actually talking about was not wanting black people in his gene pool, which is like a whole other level of racist and goes way past "just" saying the N-word. (Speaking generally, not objecting at all to how you're framing it) Yeah. Like, Hogan didn't say a single n-word in that rant it still would've been racist as f***. That was just the cherry on top of the shit sundae.

Show up every week and do your best. But work in the same space as Nick Khan.

Pastor William Eaver, who decided to fallaway slam OJMO into the crowd at Progress 102, got suspended for being a reckless idiot, and then just disappeared after being really defensive about it on Twitter for a while.

Being back in the WWE doesn't mean he career was saved. When fans have openly shown distant to him and boo him everytime he thrown out there? The most popular wrestler in wrestling at one time who was still getting big pops before that came out, now gets booed. No longer draws like he once did. Yes he career was killed compared to what he was before. WWE may have forgiven him but fans and a lot of wrestlers haven't. Adding to the list. Shane Douglas: The guy kept burning every bridge because he felt everyone else is to blame for his short comings. Its Flair's fault, its the Kliq's fault, and ext. He felt he should been the biggest star in the world. To the point that no major wrestling company wants anything to do with him or believe he has value in any roles. While he worked in most every major company, his exit have always been left with a burning bridge and outside of ECW was no long run.

Shane Douglas seems like a rather standard way of killing your career than a particularly stupid one.
I don't get how the Briscoes thing, unctuous as it was, "killed their career." You don't need to be in WWE to have a career in wrestling.

How do you get on the shit list of WWE, AEW, Impact Wrestling and even Joey freaking Ryan all at the same time? Intentionally breaking Rosemary’s arm is a good start.

I had a look and he's apparently a regular in LDN now, as is rapist Darrell Allen, because Sanjay Bagga.

Wow really? I'm just picturing that in my head and even from that perspective, what a bellend.

If Hogan's career was killed he wouldn't be in the highest profile wrestling fed in the world. Was his career hurt...yes. But killed....nope.

Wee Willie Wilkins deserves a mention. Here's Jim Cornette to tell the story. Caution: strong language.
Being a job guy and attempting to do a comeback against the team who just beat you after the match isn't a good career move.

Hogan's career isn't dead per se but it's definitely on life support. if he's getting booed out of the building by fans in his home state no less, WWE are going to question why they should even bother with him anymore. And considering the type of company AEW is, I doubt they bring him in, either.
