10 Things WWE Regrets About Elimination Chamber

6. Burning The Undertaker (2010)

A certified WWE legend and perhaps the most important gimmick of all time he may be, but The Undertaker was left looking nothing like the indestructible, immortal 'Deadman' he plays on television after a colossal production balls-up at Elimination Chamber 2010.

'Taker was defending his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, and R-Truth in the titular main event. Unfortunately, the big slug was ambushed by a pyrotechnic disaster during his introduction. Flames went up at the wrong time, burning Undertaker's jacket and 'The Phenom' himself, forcing survival mode to kick in as he threw the coat to the ground and made a hasty retreat towards the ring.

'Taker was burned up badly. He doused himself in cold water upon entering the Chamber and kept doing so throughout the match, but looked to be in considerable discomfort. Then, after the match, he reportedly stopped on his way up the ramp, pointed at the pyro booth, then yelled at the crew members working it.

Backstage officials had to calm the zombified legend down afterwards, and it remains one of the most embarrassing and dangerous production botches in WWE history.
