10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 29)
10. Only 8 Wrestlers Have Kicked Out Of The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver
The Undertaker is one of the most protected WWE stars in history, and for good reason.
One of the most cherished performers the company has ever had, 'The Deadman' is also one of the most credible. His often supernatural gimmick resonates strongly with fans, and has done for well over 25 years.
Moves such as the Chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver are synonymous with 'Taker, and the latter usually signals the end of any given match. Incredibly, as many as 8 different wrestlers have been written to not only survive the move, but actually to kick out of it.
That's more than many might have suspected, considering the finishing move is revered as one of the best ever.
According to WWE's official website, the 8 men are Triple H, CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Batista, Shawn Michaels and Kane. Michaels has kicked out of the finisher more than once, whereas Lesnar has never been pinned by the Tombstone to date.
Another impressive accolade for The Beast.
