Top 5 Lists Of Pro Wrestlers With Failed Careers.

Warning.

This article contains references to sexual misconduct, and assault. Reader Discretion is advised.

5. Jimmy Havoc.

I have to be very careful when I put this to screen, for legal reasons. Jimmy Havoc was a stand out name on the UK indie circuit from the years of 2004-2018, and would then head out to the states working for ROH, and. AEW, but in June of 2020 Jimmy was suspended after multiple accusations surrounding the speaking out allegations, that were levied against him. He would receive counselling due to his drug issues, and mental health problems. He was let go by AEW in August of that year.

4. Lars Sullivan.

When Lars Sullivan debuted in WWE on the 17th of April 2017 in NXT, there was a lot promise surrounding his arrival. His main Roster run was heavily plaqued with issues, from his mental health, all the way to his departure in 2021 which came around due to his controversial past, mainly to do with his connections to the adult entertainment world, and unfotgivable historic posts to social media.

3. Jack Gallagher.

This is another individual that was accused of acts of sexual misconduct. I've heard many things about Jack, from some people that used to know him. And from those that worked with him on the indipendent scene, and if i'm being honest, his excuses for why he was released just says everything. The drink is no excuse. He was let go by WWE in June of 2020, whilst being brought up in speaking out movement.

2. Marty Jannetty.

If I could describe Marty Jannetty in one sentence I would say this. He's Mickey Rourke's Character in The Wrestler made real. From being let go by the WWE on multiple occassions, to going down the rabbit hole of drug addiction, he has ruined his career, and it's sad because, he's a story of what could've been.

1. Michael Elgin.

This stunned me, because I was a fan of him in his ROH days. He was another person who got brought up in the speaking out movement. From not taking allegations seriously, to accounts of harressment, this would nearly blacklist Elgin, he still wrestles to this day, but his career has taken a very serious downfall.
