10 Unexpected WWE Moments Caught On Camera

6. The Undertaker's Pyro Problems

WWE's camera crew didn't linger on the fiery events of Elimination Chamber 2010 too long. They were probably fearing for their lives, running away from an enraged veteran who had been engulfed by flames.

During The Undertaker's entrance, some pyrotechnics went off prematurely and set his trademark trench coat ablaze. That's when some unfortunate sod working in production likely decided to get in a car, speed out of the Scottrade Center in St. Louis and never look back.

If you've ever wondered why officials around ringside kept dousing 'Taker in water as he paced around his pod during the match, this is why. He was actually lucky to escape with burns to his chest and arms, because things could have been much worse had he not acted quickly and removed the jacket.

WWE did shoot the footage, but they called an audible in the truck and moved away from the scene as quickly as possible. Still, there must have been a few quaking boots backstage awaiting The Undertaker's wrath post-match.
