Guys that fucked up their own pushes

The moral of this story: Don't be stupid, kids.

This, but on a more superficial, on-screen level: The dude was both WWE Champion and ECW Champion. His WWE Title reign was probably not going to be an epic one, or anything, but I think it ended even sooner than planned, and the plug was also pulled on him being anything but a "popular player" in the WWE (a role he had been playing for years).

RVD finally made it to the stage where he could be considered a permanent main eventer, and he fucked it up by spitting in the trust the WWE gave him. This also led to RVD getting fed up and wanting out of the WWE (not the sole reason, mind you). It damaged RVD's relationship with the WWE, and made him look weaker on-screen.
