10 Awesome WWE "Nearly Moments"

Heel Undertaker is not the best Undertaker, but that's not to say that his brief run as a biker bad guy in 2002 failed to yield any great matches. The ladder bout he shared with Jeff Hardy for the Undisputed Championship has gone down as one of Monday Night Raw's best ever, and although Jeff - for whom it would be a few years yet before the company's top spot would be within reach - came up just short, he proved he could hang with 'Big Evil'.

And he hung with him for nearly twenty minutes, beaten in the end after a hellacious chokeslam from atop the ladder. After the bell rang, 'Taker gave Hardy a Last Ride for good measure, and then - when the 'Charismatic Enigma' grabbed a handy mic and told his opponent he was "still standing" - returned to the ring to hold up his arm in a show of respect. And that's how you put someone over, even though they only just nearly beat you.
