10 Most Emotional Wrestling Matches

"No More Tears" means nothing in pro wrestling...

Fastlane The Shield

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose have lived the past six years plus as close friends sharing the same dreams in WWE. At Fastlane on Sunday, one could see how much a seemingly filler six-man tag main event meant to the trio; it could be a watershed match for these guys as The Shield, but there's something more important to them.

The emotion of the moment.

Emotion, whether happiness, sadness, anger, fear or a combo of all the above, has been part of the wrestling sphere since forever. Indeed, provoking a certain feeling from the audience is part and parcel of the industry, and it's those hooks that keep people coming back for more. Feeling something, it seems, is an addictive thing.

You won't be shocked (another emotive response!) to see names like Ric Flair, Daniel Bryan, Bret Hart and The Undertaker on this list. You might, however, be slightly surprised by some of the matches chosen from their careers, or the feelings they conjured up in fans worldwide when watching them. Again, emotion comes in many different forms...
