10 Life-Saving Wrestling Moments

10. Drew McIntyre Saves Braun Strowman

In a Triple Threat match that was so much more enormously fun than it had any right to be, three cuts of beef smashed into each other with big, dumb relish at WrestleMania Backlash.

Drew McIntyre's piss-poor win/loss record; the fact that he'd already been defeated clean in the middle at WrestleMania, necessitating literally no Backlash, some half-baked sh*t with MVP attempting to tap up Braun Strowman: none of this mattered in a match low on obvious protracted selling and high on lol-what-the-f*ck Michinoku Drivers.

It was a match that invited risk - men of their proportions were executing PWG specials to get the match over as something incredulously entertaining - and danger very nearly RSVP'd.

Strowman looked to be in two minds when attempting either a cannonball senton or a leaping double clothesline off the apron, and Drew, a man who for this and so much else deserves a hero's reception upon the return of crowds, recognised the imminent danger. Strowman had either under or over-rotated doing...something, and Drew controlled a harrowing trajectory by using all of his strength to position Strowman onto his back.

Given the size of the man and the pace at which he was falling, this was as much a feat of power as it was intelligence.
