8. An Impromptu Record

Ever since WrestleMania I, the record for quickest match has €œofficially€ stood at nine seconds, when King Kong Bundy demolished S.D. Jones. However, that record was rather dubious, as the actual match time was more than twice as long.

Sunday, WWE rewrote the record books by having the Rock agree to an impromptu match against Erick Rowan. The Wyatt Family member swung wildly, missed and Rock hit a Rock Bottom for the quick 1-2-3. And just like that, a new record of six seconds (in real time) was established.

Sure, it wasn€™t a real match, and it was extremely convoluted, but hell, it isn€™t like someone fixed the Super Bowl. It was a fun moment, and who didn€™t freak when Rock removed his clothes to reveal his wrestling gear?
