10 Terrifying Transformations Caused By Wrestling
7. Droz
One of the more famous wrestling injury stories that at very least didn't have fatal consequences, Darren Drozdov's athletic career was forever cut short by a bump gone ever so slightly wrong in 1999.
Falling awkwardly from a D'Lo Brown running powerbomb on a pre-taped match that obviously never aired, the former NFL star was immediately paralysed and has required constant care as well as several different customised wheelchairs in order to get around ever since. The two had worked the spot countless times, but this proved to be the near-worst case scenario version of the "accidents will happen" idiom.
Originally appearing as Legion Of Doom's supposed former ally "Puke" upon entry into WWE (Drozdov's first meeting with Vince McMahon was memorably - and infamously - captured by cameras for Barry Blaustein's seminal Beyond The Mat movie because he'd gained notoriety for having the ability to vomit on command), Droz had embarked on a solid midcard run alongside piercing partner Prince Albert when he was permanently shelved and his life effectively began anew.
