Droz’s untimely injury was a perfect example of why wrestling fans and spectators should NEVER try wrestling moves by themselves. On a 1999 episode of SmackDown, D’Lo Brown picked Droz up for his then-finisher, a Running Powerbomb.

However, Droz was wearing a loose shirt and wasn’t able to get a proper grip to ensure that he could take the move correctly. As a result, Droz landed on his head and fractured two discs in his neck.

The resulting botch left Droz quadriplegic, and he has been in that state ever since, with only slight recovery of any mobility below the neck. Droz was only two years into his wrestling career when this injury changed his life forever and destroyed his dream before it could be achieved.
