10 Wrestlers Who DESTROYED Their Career In A Single Moment

10. Bronson Matthews

Imagine it's your first day in an administrative role for a finance company.

Somebody higher up than you has obstructed a doorway chatting to their colleague. They didn't mean to get in your way, but you are annoyed - so annoyed, in fact, that you send a company-wide email expression your irritation.

"That Maureen is a right nattering harridan, isn't she? There's a time and a place to chat, and it isn't when I'm trying to get back to my desk!"

You have annihilated your reputation in seconds and, since you are effectively the most expendable employee in the entire firm and the firm has no idea yet if you despite a semi-decent CV can do the job, you're probably getting fired.

But all is well. This isn't a real scenario because nobody would actually be stupid enough to do that.

Except, in wrestling, this essentially happened.

Bronson Matthews won the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough, which was hardly likely to launch his career, but still, neither was burying the Social Outcasts on Twitter as "jobbers". This drew the ire of Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes, amongst others, and Matthews later revealed that he was banned from changing in the locker room despite protesting that he was tweeting in character.

The 2016 incident didn't directly lead to his release, which came a year later, but his career was finished while he was still there.
