18. Mark Henry (Casket Match): WrestleMania XXII
Don't get me wrong, a casket match involving the Undertaker has a certain charm to it, but this one involving Henry was anything but a classic. To be honest, seemingly everyone is surprised at the length of The World Strongest Man's career in the WWE. Those doubters would have been left even more dumbfounded when Henry was announced as the latest man to tray and break the Streak in 2006. Think about it, would someone like Mark Henry ever break the Streak? C'mon. This made the match somewhat of a formality which was represented by the crowds obvious disinterest. We saw a Last Ride, a suicide dive over the top and a Tombstone which led to the end of the former Sexual Chocolate. The streak went to 14-0 at this Mania which of course made it more special than it ever had been before, but the match as a spectacle didn't help things. The match itself was another one of these clashes where Taker's opponent dictated a painfully slow pace. Nevertheless, as with every other Mania appearance, The Phenom managed to put in a stellar performance despite being forced to jump through numerous hoops just to put on a viable contest.
