"Chickens!".

Former ECW original Roadkill was never going to match wrestling's best catchphrases with that soundbite, but the 'Amish Warrior' did come close to earning his own place in WWE history. Somewhat implausibly, Bruce Prichard once admitted that the ex-tag star was considered for a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

Prichard didn't go into extreme (ahem) details about exactly when this would've happened, but he did say that Roadkill might've gone over the legend. Think about that. WWE nearly plucked an unlikely ECW star from the pack, repackaged him into something totally fresh and then put him over 'Taker on the biggest show of the year.

Roadkill ending The Undertaker's vaunted 'Mania winning streak doesn't sound anywhere near as impressive as Brock Lesnar doing it. Of course, that'd be the case come WrestleMania XXX in 2014. ECW hardcores would be forgiven for losing their minds over the thought of Danny Doring's old tag-team partner beating Brock to it.
