10 Wrestling Matches One Second Away From Perfection
7. Shawn Michaels Vs. The Undertaker (WWE WrestleMania XXV)
It spoke to the quality of this match and both men in it that a potentially disastrous spot was instead converted into a moment of enormous drama by one of the quick-thinking competitors.
The Undertaker had just about hit the zenith of his in-ring career by WrestleMania 25, but he went some way to expediting its end after spiking himself during his iconic dive.
The planned spot called for a planted cameraman played by Sim Snuka to catch 'The Deadman', or at very least give him a softer landing than the arena floor. It infamously wasn't to be, and for a split second it looked as though a confirmed classic was climaxing early.
Fortunately for all involved, 'The Deadman' was able to play through the pain, arguably adding more lore to a 'Show Of Shows' masterpiece in the process. Not that he should have had to, of course. The gnarly bump dates the contest somewhat - it's possible and even probable that the match wouldn't have continued if this happened today.
