10 Greatest Finishing Sequences In Wrestling History

While you could definitely make an argument for Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker's staggering conclusion to the 2007 Royal Rumble as perhaps the greatest final two performance in the event's history, the latest end to the Men's over-the-top-rope battle arguably topped that clashing of the icons.

With GUNTHER putting in a simply awesome stint in the 30-person bout, coming in at number one and eliminating five lads during his eventual record-breaking 71-minute spell in the contest, the fact he was able to make it to the final two was already enough of a reason to salute The Ring General.

The fact the Intercontinental Champion then went on to wrestle an absolute clinic with entrant number 30 and the odds-on favourite Cody Rhodes in the final stretch of the match only further cemented this performance as an all-timer.

Forcing audible winces out of all in attendance with each sickening chop to Cody's surgically repaired t*t, GUNTHER and Rhodes managed to plant the most unlikely seeds of doubt into fans the world over.

A physical, violent, and desperate brawl over the right to headline the biggest event of the year made that prize feel more special than it had in years. And Rhodes keeping his story alive via slick, late Cross Rhodes reversal merely acted as the icing on top of an already masterful cake of a Rumble ending.
