6. The Undertaker Hangs The Big Boss Man - WrestleMania 15
The Undertaker attempted to murder The Big Boss Man at WrestleMania XV by hanging him following their contest. Usually that would be potentially scarring imagery but that was not the case at the Showcase of Immortals. In fact, there was nothing more mentally scarring than the dreadful match that occurred prior to the crime. As it turns out, bad matches are somewhat common in wrestling whereas hangings are not. Thus, by the time Boss Man was strung up from the top of the Hell in a Cell structure and left dangling over the squared circle, people were a wee bit upset. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20gvwn_the-ministry-of-darkness-era-vol-35-the-undertaker-vs-big-boss-man-hell-in-a-cell-match-3-28-99_sport Why WWE would even attempt to do something so absurd is a mystery. It is one thing to have Undertaker "sacrifice" Dennis Knight in an attempt to recreate his character, to debut Mideon, but it is another thing entirely to script something so outrageous and offensive as one man trying to kill another. It was shocking booking for the sake of shocking booking and there was no place in wrestling for it.
