It doesn't matter how prestigious the career in question is: Even the biggest names in wrestling aren't above making a total arse of themselves on occasion. When these all-conquering superstars commit to a life in the squared circle, where they appear on television every single week and do so for several decades, it stands to reason that not everything they do lands in the way they'd hoped.

They're the asterisks that will stand next to their immortal bodies of work.

These are the dilemmas that face our heroes in this list of career-staining catastrophes.

8. Foley's Bow Wow

Mick Foley's canon of work is enough to have placed him in the hearts of fans all over the world for the rest of eternity. Be it breaking ground for hardcore wrestling, smashing open doors for pro wrestlers with his best-selling books, or his incredible mic work as a face or a heel. Oh yes, Foley's legend is secure for the rest of his days.

Which is a good job, because his moment of madness at AEW Redemption 2026 was so monumentally bats*** crazy that it would sink a million lesser men. The concept was simple: The Divine Dominion have spent the last few months absolutely blasting everything that stands in their way, so much so that they are the alphas in the whole of All Elite Wrestling, and Mick was to be their latest victim. 

In a backstage segment, the dominant duo of Lena Kross and Megan Bayne demanded that Mick bow down to them in an act of submission.

Mick dutifully complied, but also began to "grr" and "woof" like a dog before adding in spontaneous use of the term "bow wow". To call it weird would be doing a disservice to self-respecting weirdos everywhere, as the awkwardness between Foley, both women and an aghast audience around the world is something guaranteed to be spoken about for years.
