11. The Undertaker
In the same sense that wrestlers are responsible for protecting their opponents, they’re also responsible for taking moves properly and protecting themselves. The Undertaker has been directly involved in legitimately shortening careers, although a big part of that has to do with what his opponents were willing to let him do to them in their matches. In 1998 alone,
The Undertaker ended Shawn Michaels’ career in a casket match, and a few months later he and Mick Foley conspired to give one another a plethora of injuries at King of the Ring in their infamous Hell in a Cell match. The Undertaker has actually been extremely safe throughout his career considering his style and gimmick, but these two high profile incidents remain on his record and can’t be forgotten. Obviously,
The Undertaker’s status as a respected locker room leader has endured beyond these two matches, and both Michaels and Foley would take the blame for wanting to take the ridiculous bumps that caused the injuries in the first place.
