10 Most Popular WWE Matches On YouTube
YouTube loves some battle royals!
A quick forewarning here, guys: this is going to be a very strange list.
The most viewed wrestling matches on WWE's official YouTube channel aren't the classics you might assume they would be. As most PPV bouts are only available on the WWE Network these days, those released for free are a little more offbeat curios.
Despite the dubious nature (and quality) of many matches on this countdown, that hasn't stopped them from racking up a hell of a lot of views. Yes, the ECW 'Monster Mash' might not crack many top 10s as far as in-ring quality is concerned, but it's still been watched almost 20 million times.
From 41-man battle royals to star-studded six-man tags, here are the most popular WWE matches on YouTube.
10. John Cena & Undertaker Vs. DX Vs. Jeri-Show
The November 16, 2009 edition of Raw is most remembered for Kofi Kingston's astonishing legdrop on Randy Orton, but also featured a mammoth MSG main event featuring six future legends.
The story of the match sees Unified Tag Team Champions Jeri-Show face off against WWE Champion John Cena and World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker. DX are in there because...they're really cool, I guess?
Undertaker's entrance stretches on for three minutes, and includes the flaming torches, druids and creepy chanting. Yes, it's ludicrously over-the-top for a house show-style main event. Yes, it's also awesome.
A particular highlight includes Shawn Michaels tagging in to face 'Taker (having lost to him at 'Mania XXV earlier that year), and immediately stripping off his DX wristbands as if to say "this is serious".
Cena eventually picks up the win with an Attitude Adjustment on Triple H, but Undertaker drills him with the Tombstone after the bell. The pair would of course go on to clash at...
...oh. Sorry. We're still waiting on that one.
