7 Wrestling Matches Saved By Ridiculously Last Minute Changes

7. The Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar (WrestleMania XXX)

Going into The Undertaker's annualised defence of his much-vaunted but latterly tiresome streak at WrestleMania XXX, the outcome seemed as predictable as a Russian election. Paul Heyman's hollow bluster would give way to the pair going through the motions, as those in attendance at New Orlean's Superdome sat on their hands in expectation of an eventual, inevitable Undertaker 1-2-3.

For twenty-five minutes and nine seconds, that's precisely how things panned out. Even three F5s from The Beast were nothing more than misdirection, lourddemain before his name was engraved on 'Taker's latest tombstone.

Three seconds later, Ellis Mbeh's eyes were wider than a witch's hat. The Deadman, incredibly, unbelievably, was buried.

Nobody saw it coming. Until the day of the show, neither did Brock Lesnar. So it goes that Vince McMahon, seeing the tired frame of his ailing mortician, decided it was time to put him in his own grave. On that whim, a humdrum paint-by-numbers plodder became one of the most talked about wrestling matches of all time.
