The other two still busted the checkrides and will have retakes to take care of the two items they missed on so it was a pink slip but providing they take care of there deficiencies (sp) and pass again how does that end up?

It will be in your pria as a failed checkride so if asked if you have failed a checkride then the answer is obviously yes, but is this the career killer that everyone has talked about in the past or is it along the lines of a failed cfi ride or commercial etc?
Probably not like a failed CFI or Commercial ride. I know the failure rate is quite high for the CFI initial(90% for some FSDO's). If that was a career killer a lot of pilots would never make it to the airlines.
