10 Terrifying Wrestling Bumps You've Totally Forgotten

5. Undertaker BATters The Big Show

If you need any evidence that in wrestling people will literally watch any old sh*t if it's over, 1999 WWE is the place for you. And not just because The Rock and The British Bulldog took that to a literal extent.

The Undertaker and The Big Show have gained cult infamy for their involvement in an off-the-rails promo by 'The Deadman' from the same period. Existing to be interrupted for being dull by impudent newcomer Chris Jericho, Undertaker took that instruction to the extreme with his tall tales of making snake boots and leaving Show to perish in Death Valley.

All b*llocks, unlike this absolutely wicked baseball bat shot nobody really talks about.

Struggling to find his place amidst Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Mankind and others, 'Taker was trapped in goth garbage with The Ministry and suited goth garbage with The Corporate Ministry. The character just didn't fit anywhere, but the mythical creature now hitting a home run with Paul Wight's head was at least an inadvertently hilarious diversion from the usual magical powers or somebody having to feud with Mideon.
