And now for something a lot less life threatening.

In what is still one of the best endings to any episode of WWE TV ever, Team WWF and The Alliance had a "bench-clearing brawl" on the final SmackDown before their match at Survivor Series 2001. During the melee, Kurt Angle went to hit an Angle Slam on The Big Show.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker (who was still selling an Angle Slam from earlier) noticed that Show was about to land on the steel chair that he had just punched out of Shane McMahon's hands. While still laying prone, 'Taker slyly moved the chair out of the way with his foot, preventing Show from crashing down onto it.

Sure, the Angle Slam still hurts, but it would've hurt a whole hell of a lot more had he landed on a steel chair. Props to 'Taker for his unparalleled ring awareness.
