10 More Wrestling Segments That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Meant To See

4. The Undertaker Gets Set On Fire

At the 2010 Elimination Chamber PPV, the Undertaker got set on fire.

Amazingly, this wasn't the act of Kane taking revenge for the Undertaker killing his parents or whichever friggin' way 'round it was by the end. Perhaps, as a result of those chair shots, he'd forgotten too. This was a very rare production botch of an otherwise very elaborate piece of theatre that WWE pulled off beautifully.

At the time, the director very quickly cut away from this potentially very dangerous situation, but when the camera was once more pointed towards 'Taker, he was seen hurriedly and angrily storming down the aisle and throwing his trench coat to the floor. You're not meant to see 'Taker in a flap; he's meant to be the chilling, methodical presence capable of summoning dread with his trademark lurch to the ring.

Even much of this has since been edited off the Network; in its place, now you just see, before a brief, candid glimpse of 'Taker rushing to the ring, about two seconds of Rey Mysterio in his Chamber pod.

That's more time than he gets on RAW in 2022.

This wasn't the only time the Undertaker was almost incinerated...
