10 Most Shocking Kick Outs In WWE History

10. Randy Orton - Backlash 2004

After a four year stretch of inactivity, Mick Foley returned to the ring in 2004 as part of his feud with Evolution and, in particular, Randy Orton. Despite contesting an enjoyable tag match match with The Rock at WrestleMania XX, Foley wasn't happy with his performance - and a driven 'Hardcore Legend' turned up to Backlash 2004 a month later in the shape of his life.

As Cactus Jack, the revitalised Foley managed to turn back the hands of time with Orton, and gave the fans all the extreme action they they could have wanted in a hardcore war for the Intercontinental Title. After being beaten to within an inch of his life, including a sickening back bump on thumbtacks and another huge fall through a platform off the stage, it was surprisingly Orton that was left bloodied when the action returned to the ring.

Sensing victory in his grasp, Foley grabbed the IC Champ and hit him with his trademark Double-Arm DDT. As the crowd counted along with the ref, Orton shockingly kicked out at two, robbing Foley of his first Intercontinental Championship. Orton would ultimately retain just minutes later but the match itself still holds up as one of the best of both men's careers.
