The Undertaker's 10 Most Dangerous WWE Matches
The Deadman put his life on the line in these bouts...
To say that The Undertaker has been around for a while really would be quite the understatement. 'The Demon Of Death Valley' has been taking souls and digging holes for well over the length of the average WWE superstar's career, and he's not far off completing his 30th year with the company. Yeah, impressive right?
During that time, 'Taker hasn't been afraid to put his body on the line for the WWE Universe's entertainment and all of this only added to the incredible aura that the man built for himself. From Hell In A Cell matches to Boiler Room Brawls, 'The Deadman' has quite frankly seen it all. And somehow, he's bloody managed to walk out the other end of it.
However, in the midst of all that melee and the gruesomeness of all those gimmicks, he has experienced some genuinely dangerous matches throughout the course of his career. Whether they were influenced by the lunacy of the gimmick or down to a heart-stopping botch or accident, these are the matches infamous for putting either him or his opponent (or both) in legitimate jeopardy.
10. W/ Kane Vs. Triple H And Shawn Michaels - Crown Jewel 2018
'It was like a bad comedy movie'. That's how Triple H recently described the infamous showdown between the Brothers of Destruction and D-Generation X at WWE Crown Jewel in 2018. And unfortunately, he's not wrong.
On paper, a clash between these two iconic teams should have been amazing. 20 years ago it would have been good. 10 years ago it would have been great. But in 2018, it should never have happened.
This wasn't just a bad match, it was an incredibly dangerous one. Not only was it reckless on WWE's part to expect four aged veterans to main event a long-winded show with a 30 minute tag team match, but to put two part-timers out there with another recently-turned part-timer in Kane and Shawn Michaels who hadn't wrestled a match in almost a decade was unforgivable.
The results spoke for themselves as Triple H tore his pectoral muscle early on, 'Taker and Kane punched themselves into exhaustion and both of them failed to catch Shawn Michaels in mid-air - resulting in HBK smacking his face off the ground below.
'Taker recently confirmed that his head wasn't in the game that night for personal reasons and that, coupled with all of aforementioned problems, produced a trainwreck that had us worried for all four men's safety.
