20 Incredible WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Moments Nobody Ever Talks About

3. The Ambulance Epic That Followed The Testicle Electrocution

'The Big Red Machine' was involved in some of the most disturbing and infamous moments this entire era had to offer.

Even before he locked eyes on Lita and helped kick off one of the most unsettling storylines in WWE history, the newly unmasked Kane had begun causing rather creepy and ridiculous chaos on Monday nights, targeting the McMahon family not long after setting Jim Ross on fire.

This all ultimately led to Shane O' Mac feuding with The Undertaker's burned-up brother in the wake of Linda being tombstoned by the madman. And it was during this program when the son of the boss memorably wound up having his testicles electrocuted on national television.

What is rarely discussed when looking back on this consistently barmy feud, however, is the absolute banger of an Ambulance contest that closed out this never-ending war.

At Survivor Series, the long-time rivals viciously battered one another around the arena, rammed cars into one another, and Shane even unleashed an Ambulance-assisted Coast-to-Coast on the sinister big man.

It's not hard to understand why one of the strongest Ambulance matches in WWE history is rarely referenced when talking about this routinely shocking Ruthless Aggression feud, of course.

But this gripping conclusion and the hugely physical shifts both put in on the night is definitely worth your time, and almost washes away those strange memories of Shane getting his !*$% zapped... almost.
