10 WWE Matches That Were Spoiled Before They Happened

10. The Undertaker Vs Mark Henry (WrestleMania 22)

Few believed Brock Lesnar could beat The Undertaker's WrestleMania undefeated streak right up until the point he actually did. Treat yourself to the footage for the millionth time and consider how the crowd might have looked had they been frenzied over a finisher by Shawn Michaels, Triple H, or even a young Randy Orton firing off one of his most important ever RKOs at that point.

These were false finishes that temporarily allowed the audience to forget the near-impossible feat that faced Undertaker's foes. Brock's third F5 - despite WrestleMania's once-protected own three finisher rule - wasn't considered a death blow until 'The Deadman' stayed down.

Contrast that shock with the level of interest in the total formality that took place in 2006.

Mark Henry hadn't yet earned the good graces of the wider wrestling populace with his "Hall Of Pain" schtick. Undertaker hadn't yet evolved into the Superstar superworker he became just one year later. WWE hadn't yet tried to come up with something - anything - between them that signposted anything but another victory for the WrestleMania legend. Yet, for nearly 10 minutes, the audience were asked to believe the absolute f*cking impossible, and weren't even fed a pinfall for a payoff.
