10. Dr. Death Gets Knocked Out

BOOM!

One meaty punch was all it took for Steve Williams to watch (when he regained consciousness, at least) his WWF career go down the pan. The company's dreadful 'Brawl For All' shoot fighting idea was flawed from the start back when it kicked off in 1998, especially because it was supposed to be a vehicle for 'Dr. Death' to look like the fed's new hard man.

So much for that. Bart Gunn stiffed Death with a punch so hard Doc probably thought he was back in All Japan, and that was a wrap on Williams' credibility. He'd been brought in under assumptions that he'd blast through the competition with ease and then possibly work a program with golden boy Steve Austin.

Instead, the grizzled veteran found himself staring at the lights for Bart. Disgusted, Vince McMahon's braintrust moved on from Williams like he'd never even happened. He did show up again in early-1999, but not for long.
