10 Wrestlers Whose Careers TANKED After Winning Big

10. Bart Gunn

Take it away, Bart!

Or, perhaps more accurately, get taken away...Bart. He was never meant to win the WWF's atrocious 'Brawl For All' shoot fighting tournament in 1998, but Gunn proved to be the hardest on the roster and had his hand raised in the end. Reportedly, Vince McMahon had hoped that gig would go to spent force 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams instead.

Rather than accepting the random lottery of their own ridiculous concept, the company punished Bart by feeding him to walking boxing glove Butterbean at WrestleMania XV. Bart was tough for sure, but that was a fight he was never winning; the promotion walked him into that brick wall themselves.

Post-knockout loss, Gunn was yesterday's news in a hurry. His career faded fast, and any hopes the guy might've had about parlaying 'Brawl For All' into a serious run at top stars like Steve Austin vanished overnight. McMahon ditched Bart as soon as humanly possible, and never looked back.
