10 WWE Wrestlers Buried By Words Alone

Most of the examples featured on this list refer to instances where a wrestler has buried someone else. Braden Walker, meanwhile, buried himself. It was a self-burial.

Really, how else can we describe using a knock-knock joke (and not even a particularly good one, incidentally) during your maiden WWE appearance? It was an absolutely ridiculous thing to say, even more so as an opening gambit.

Granted, not all of the consequences of Walker's failed attempt at humour were bad. It's provided the internet with some brilliant meme material over the last decade, while also serving to warn other aspiring WWE wrestlers as to the perils of a weak first impression.

None of that will be much consolation to the man himself though, who a couple of years earlier had been one of the leading lights of TNA's thriving tag division as part of American's Most Wanted. Talk about a fall from grace.
