#6 Honorable mention - Darren Drozdov (Droz)

This by far is the most tragic name on the list as one terribly botched powerbomb proved to have life-changing implications for the wrestler on the receiving end – Darren Drozdov.

The incident happened during a WWE Smackdown TV taping on October 5th, 1999. D’Lo brown went for his signature running powerbomb on Droz, but things went horribly wrong after D’Lo couldn’t get a proper grip on Droz – who took a nasty bump and fractured his neck in the process.

That fateful night on Smackdown, Droz was left with no sensation below his neck and tragically became a quadriplegic ever since. Till date, he doesn’t blame D’Lo for the incident and puts the onus on the nature of the sport. D’Lo too opened up about that forgetful night which you can watch below:
