In 1998, Darren 'Puke' Drozdov, joined the WWF. A former NFL star, he was never going to become the next Steve Austin.

But a year later, Drozdov's career ended, and his life changed after a botched move left him paralyzed from the waist down, in a match with D'Lo Brown.

Horrified at what had happened, McMahon offered Drozdov a lifetime contract with the WWE, where he still works today, writing for WWE.com, and in the past, giving his predictions for pay per views.

Fortunately, he has made some major improvements to his health, with Drozdov now having mobility in the upper half of his body.

Perhaps the most incredible thing about this story, is that Droz has never blamed anyone for the tragedy.

Even when he was visited by a heartbroken D'Lo in hospital, Droz told him that accidents happen, and 19 years later, still holds no ill-will to the first Euro-Continental Champion.
