10 Most Creative Ways Wrestlers Cheated To Win
1. Run-ins, Referees, Ripped Off Turnbuckle Pads And Rampant Low-Blows - Chris Jericho, Royal Rumble 2002
A festival of f*ckery from one of the all-time greats, Chris Jericho's victory over The Rock subverted the one refined aspect of their rivalry still in tact since his late-2001 heel turn - that he could actually win the 'big one' against 'The Great One'.
It was that doubt that carried their initial programme, but two major wins over 'The People's Champion' should have cemented him as a credible performer at the top of the card. Due to nefarious wins in both cases, he was instead riddled with self-doubt and thus left nothing to chance to ensure he left his first pay-per-view Undisputed Title defences with his beloved belts.
Cheating constantly throughout the entire match before and during able assistance from run-in buddies Lance Storm and Christian, he then got away with one thanks to the ineffective refereeing of corrupt ex-WCW referee Nick Patrick, then dished out an almighty low blow, then smashed Rock's head into an exposed turnbuckle, then rolled him up with both feet on the ropes. He'd done everything underhanded to claim the victory - far more nefarious than ever before - but this time he shed the guilt that once weighed him down.
