When: No Way Out 2008.

Behold the largest combination on this list moving swiftly towards the conclusion of their Elimination Chamber effort at No Way Out 2008. It's impressive enough that guys the size of Drew McIntyre can throw kicks that'd make Buddy Murphy blush, but it's another entirely to see The Undertaker and Batista's balancing act here.

This is one of the greatest Chamber moments yet.

In one inconceivably slick motion, Batista went from standing upright with 'Taker on his shoulders to falling backwards over the ropes into a Tombstone Piledriver position. Core strength and counterbalance were everything if they were going to pull it off, and they did. They also did it without a hitch.

The pleasing precision of their positioning should get fans from all walks of life excited. Two musclebound, heavy men moved with ease and successfully charmed everyone with their unexpected finish to a 30-minute brawl.
