7 Wrestling Matches Saved By Ridiculously Last Minute Changes

Which of Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker's legendary WrestleMania clashes is the better of the two is something fans can debate until the cattle has its feet up by the fire, all cosy like, but one thing few will argue is that the first of the pair should have been in the main event.

Randy Orton and Triple H provided the cure for insomnia on the night, The Game well and truly blasted by his own petard thanks to the bootless task faced in following the shunted actual legends.

Had WWE went with their original plans, Hunter might not have been so "f*cked". According to former ref Marty Elias - who officiated the incredible contest - Shawn and 'Taker were originally set for a measly fifteen minutes, third up in the running order. One can only imagine (and laugh at) the crestfallen look on Triple H's face when he learned of a last minute change of proceedings to give the two veterans a full half hour to work their magic. Which they did.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
