The wrestling world went into shock when Brock Lesnar broke The Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania XXX. How could the Deadman lose on The Grandest Stage of Them All – his streak had seemed so perfect, so unbreakable.

But if there’s one black mark against his otherwise pristine record, it’s his infamous match against Giant Gonzalez, a former Argentinian basketball player wearing a hairy naked muscle suit. A lot of people are aware of the match itself, but the finish is the kind of cheesy shlock WWE would rather fans didn’t remember.

Although Gonzalez was actually taller than The Undertaker, and positioned as his equal, the man could barely string together two moves or run the ropes. So in an attempt to spice up this clunky WrestleMania IX slog, WWE had Gonzalez chloroform Taker with the help of Harvey Whippleman.

That’s right, one of The Undertaker’s WrestleMania wins came via a bonkers disqualification involving anaesthetic chemicals.
