10. DDP (vs. The Undertaker) - King Of The Ring 2001
When Diamond Dallas page was revealed as the mysterious character who had been stalking The Undertaker's then-wife, Sara, the wrestling world exploded. Page had been a huge name in WCW, and fans were thrilled at the prospect of seeing the hard-working future yoga master get the opportunity to tangle with one of WWE's top stars. Hindsight makes it easy to see that DDP wasn't perceived by company management as being on the same level as 'Taker, but at the time, this seemed like a great chance to kick-start the proposed 'Invasion' properly, with a top WCW star coming over and laying down a marker that the infiltrating wrestlers were a genuine threat. Of course, that would never happen, and DDP would instead get his butt kicked all over New Jersey at the 2001 iteration of the King Of The Ring. Inviting The Undertaker to face him like a man, the pair wouldn't even have an official match, simply a brawl, but it's largely considered Page's first in-ring foray with WWE, and one that's not exactly remembered fondly.
