10 Wrestling Moments You Didn’t Realise Inspired People To Become Wrestlers

Seth Rollins may be known more now for his odd eye-ball escapades and messiah complex, but there was a time when he was largely celebrated for being one of the most exciting and inventive performers of his generation.

Throwing caution (and often himself) to the wind was his explosive trademark, so it won't come as too much of a shock to hear that his initial decision to take up a career in the ring was made after watching a rather chaotic WrestleMania 2000 three-way ladder match.

Twenty years after the game-changing bout took place, 'The Monday Night Messiah' replied to a Bully Ray tweet by admitting that this was the 'Match that convinced me to give this ol wrasslin thing a shot. Thanks boys!'

The teams of Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz putting each other through creative hell in their quest to walk out of 'Mania as WWF Tag Team Champions undoubtedly stole the show and kickstarted a whole new era of imaginative TLC madness.

Though many would argue that the following year's WrestleMania X-Seven TLC war took things up a notch, it was this first unexpected showstopper which inspired the future World Champion to pursue his dream of being a famous professional wrassler.
