7. Titus O'Neil: Fell On His Face

It's a shame that when Titus O'Neil hangs up his boots, falling on his face at the Greatest Royal Rumble will be the thing his career is most remembered for. He is, by all accounts, one of the nicest people in the business, a hard worker, and a tremendous PR guy with a big, big heart, though he hasn't always enjoyed good fortune on television.

Whether worked or not, Titus Worldslide was one of the last decade's defining wrestling memes. Few could contain themselves as the big fella slid under the ring, only his boots peeking out as he screeched to a halt, with even the announcers losing their sh*t. It was a hoot, and Vince loved it.

While McMahon hasn't always been Titus' biggest fan (see: suspending O'Neil for reaching out to him a few years ago), he joined the entire wrestling world in howling himself silly when this went down. A report from WrestlingNews.co claimed the boss was in tears, prompting him not only to replay the slip several times over, but also produce a t-shirt to capitalise on the viral surge as well as having Titus lean into it the next night on Raw.

A note to all aspiring WWE Superstars, there: want to pop the boss? Take a dive.
