15 Off Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

7. The Undertaker Catches Fire

The Undertaker wasn't laughing when he got backstage following his match at the 2010 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

During his slow walk to the ring, the legend was engulfed in flames. The pyrotechnical problem must have been triggered by a production worker backstage, and it left 'Taker's flesh burning as he stood in one of the Chamber pods. Referees around ringside improvised by dousing the chargrilled icon with bottles of water.

Fans watching the show must have wondered why the cameras cut away from such a trademark entrance to show others involved in the match who were already in the ring. It wasn't until afterwards, when fan cameraphone footage surfaced, that the potentially fatal incident was revealed.
