Ready to have your mind blown? At WrestleMania X-Seven, Bubba Ray got outvoted by everyone else in the match. He'd argued that Edge's midair spear on Jeff Hardy had to be the second TLC's final spot before they ended the match, but everybody else wanted a table-breaking bit involving Dudley and Matt Hardy to close with.

There was a concern that Edge wouldn't be able to reach Jeff from a ladder in the corner too. Everybody bickered about the formatting of the bout and about how the future 'Rated-R Superstar' would be able to hit a clean spear on Hardy. Then, Rhyno (who was camped behind the announce desk during rehearsals) stuck his hands up.

He suggested that Bubba grab the ladder Jeff was clinging onto with his legs and walk it to the corner. That way, he reasoned, Hardy would pendulum back towards Edge and it'd look incredible if they timed it just right. That clever assessment from Rhyno saved the day.

Wow.
