#3 Kofi Kingston
Kingston shows that getting the kibosh from Orton doesn't have to kill your career entirely. Back in 2009, when Kingston was a singles wrestler with a Jamaican gimmick, he botched the ending of a match against the Legend Killer, which Orton did not take kindly to. In fact, you could even hear Orton yell "Stupid!" at Kingston on live TV. After that, Kingston floundered for years until he dropped the Jamaican shtick and joined New Day.
