Denver Broncos: 4 men who should have their own documentary

Darren Drozdov

Many fans may not even recognize this name, but Darren Drozdov, who would later join World Wrestling Entertainment under the name Droz, was a member of the Broncos.

An undrafted defensive tackle out of Maryland in 1993, Drozdov is most remembered for a game on Monday Night Football where he actually vomited right on the ball before the center was able to snap it.

After his football career fizzled out, Drozdov made a career change, opting for the bright lights of professional wrestling. He debuted with WWE in 1998 and his ability to vomit on command was actually made a part of his on-screen character.

You can find video here of Drozdov meeting with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to show off his “special ability”.

But after a short in-ring career with the biggest wrestling company in the world, Drozdov’s life changed forever.

In October 1999, Drozdov competed at a show at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York. He was wrestling D’Lo Brown that night and a maneuver that the two men tried to pull off went awry and Drozdov was dropped on his head.

Drozdov fractured two vertebrae in his neck and was left a quadriplegic. He has since gained minimal movement in his upper body and arms.

The incident remains one of the biggest in-ring tragedies in WWE history and footage of the match has never been made public.
