7 Superstars who had unexpectedly short WWE careers: Where are they now?

#4 Droz

Droz had a tragic end to his career

Droz was a promising WWE Superstar and unlike other Superstars on the list, his career was cut short due to a tragedy in the ring. He signed with the company in 1998 after he claimed to the WWE management that he had the natural ability to regurgitate on command.

Vince McMahon tried him out and decided to use this unique ‘ability’ of his as a gimmick.

He made his debut on RAW is War in May 1998 as an associate of the Legion of Doom. Croz then competed in the Brawl for All tournament in 1998, where he managed to reach the semifinals of the tournament before losing to Bradshaw.

Droz parted with the Legion of Doom and was repackaged. He had a gimmick where he was a part of series of skits called Droz’s World, where he would tell stories about his life as a WWE Superstar.

His career came to a bitter end in October 1999 after a botched powerbomb in a match with D’Lo Brown took away a lot more than just his wrestling career. Droz landed on his head during the move and fractured two vertebrae in his neck.

Even though he received a lot of medical care, the injury left him a quadriplegic with no movement below the neck. He has since regained some movement in his upper body but remains wheelchair-bound.

Droz has since written articles with his predictions for each WWE pay-per-view and continues to work as a columnist, writing articles for the company’s website and magazines.
