4. Chris Kanyon
Kanyon’s tale is at once tragic and confusing. He debuted in World Championship Wrestling, and actually managed to carve out quite a successful professional career. Storylines with Diamond Dallas Page led to him being included in the Invasion angle when the WCW merged with the WWE.

He continued to wrestle until around 2004, when he retired. He would make a limited return to the TNA merely a few years later, but failed to truly catch on. After he was released from his WWE contract, he ran a story angle claiming he was released due to his sexuality. He later said it was a publicity stunt designed in tandem with the league, but he also openly admitted to actually being gay. Throughout his life, he struggled with bipolar disorder, and he tragically passed away in 2010 after committing suicide.
