10 Exact Moments We Gave Up On A WWE Wrestler's Push

Whilst most of those on this list saw their pushes cut short before their maiden world title reign, RVD's head-in-hands moment came during his. About three weeks after he began it at One Night Stand 2006, in fact. Location: an anonymous stretch of motorway somewhere in Ohio.

Once we found out that Mr Monday Night had been busted for possession of marijuana, there was absolutely no doubt that he done goofed up. And sure enough, he dropped the belt to Edge on Monday Night Raw in the same week.

Given that it took him so long to earn the faith of WWE management - despite being one its most popular performers in the five years following ECW's demise - it was always going be a monumental struggle for him to climb back up the mountain once again.
