10 Disturbing WWE Storylines That Got Way Too Dark

10. The Undertaker's Sacrificial Spree

The Undertaker has attempted to kill off numerous wrestlers over the years, particularly during his run with the Ministry of Darkness. The Ministry kidnapped and recruited the likes of The Acolytes, tortured Mideon into servitude, and sacrificed Ryan Shamrock to the "Higher Power." They then went one step further by attempting to crucify Stephanie McMahon during her Black Wedding to The Undertaker, but were foiled by Steve Austin.

Austin was a regular target, particularly in the lead-up to his Buried Alive match with 'Taker at In Your House: Rock Bottom. Along with chaining Austin to his symbol and hoisting him above the arena, 'Taker kidnapped Austin, took him to a funeral home, and tried to embalm him. Kane fortunately intervened before the ceremonial knife could be plunged into Stone Cold's chest- but it was disturbing, nonetheless.

The most startling visual came at the heart of the higher power story, with Undertaker vying for control of WWE. Vince McMahon sent the Big Boss Man, his Corporation enforcer, to deal with The Deadman at Wrestlemania XV, and the two met inside Hell In A Cell.

Taker defeated Boss Man, and The Brood descended from the rafters. They lowered a noose to their leader, which Undertaker secured around Boss Man's neck before ordering the Cell to be raised. Undertaker had "killed" Boss Man to send a message to Vince, and while his victim obviously survived, the sight of Boss Man's lifeless body dangling from the noose was both harrowing and tasteless.
