10 Wrestlers That Fell Off HARD

4. Tomko

Tomko is a man who fell hard again and again. He fell hard in WWE, NJPW, TNA, and even real life.

This impressive performer joined OVW in 2002 and made his WWE TV debut two years later as Christian's bodyguard. He eventually went solo and got a monster push with a short undefeated streak. Then, he lost his momentum after losing to John Cena and quit the company soon after. So, WWE didn't work; where to next?

Tomko moved to Japan and wrestled for NJPW, winning the tag belts alongside Matt Bloom/Giant Bernard. But, this stay was also short-lived, as he would be released from his contract after two years. Gosh, okay, so where now? TNA!

In TNA, Tomko was again paired with Christian. He was in the main event picture thanks to Christian being World Champion and continued to be put in decent spots from there. Then he got released due to alleged contractual issues, which many have speculated was also a result of his drug use. Oh, come on!

This happened again and again as a failed return to WWE, a lackluster TNA return, and legal troubles after being arrested for robbery showed how hard he had fallen. Thankfully, the talented athlete is doing much better now as the owner of multiple businesses. After all his troubles, that sure is nice to hear!
