10 Times Wrestling Shows Became Total Anarchy

10. Royal Rumble's Greatest Botch (WWE, 2005)

To start with a brief burst of anarchy, in its humorous live blooper manifestation, the finish to the 2005 Royal Rumble started with a slip up that snowballed.

After the frantic match, the clash between the final two competitors should be a time to start toasting to another successful Rumble. 2005’s closing minutes proved hectic.

A botched Batista Bomb on John Cena caused ‘The Animal’ to stumble back towards the ropes, flipping both men over to the outside. Referee Jimmy Korderas later revealed that the planned finish had Batista grip onto the ropes as the clear winner. After both men hit the ground simultaneously, a new plan was made on the fly. The Raw referees declared Batista the victor and their SmackDown counterparts backed Cena.

There was a frantic search for Eric Bischoff and Teddy Long to be located backstage to further the ad-lib Raw vs. SmackDown faceoff. Unfortunately, both managers had left early that night, forcing an enraged Mr. McMahon to enter the ring, tearing both his quads in the process. He was forced to pass judgement from a seated position like an impatient toddler waiting for their turn of a board game.

The chairman was snuck out as Batista won following a restart.
