10. A Pail Imitation
Alberto Del Rio's much-maligned run as a babyface began in December of 2012, but it gained real momentum the following month when he defeated The Big Show to win the World Heavyweight Championship on Smackdown. The win would only be the beginning of the feud, though, which would culminate at the Elimination Chamber event in 2013. Ricardo Rodriguez, who loyally followed Del Rio from heel to face and back again, would bring a bucket to ringside during this time either to douse an opponent with water or for with more sinister purposes. However, in this instance, it was The Big Show who got his hands on the bucket and began threatening Rodriguez. Del Rio was supposed to hit one of his beautiful springing enzuigiri kicks knocking the bucket into Show's head then grab him in the Cross Arm-Breaker for the win. Instead, Del Rio slipped in the attempt and had to go back to the well immediately thereafter. The botch is comical enough, but the timing makes it truly unfortunate. The world was watching on Pay-Per-View, WWE was trying to establish Del Rio as a babyface, and Big Show was simply left waiting for him to repeat the move. One can only imagine what Big Show had to yell at Rodriguez in order to stall for time perhaps something along the lines of "Wouldn't a chair make a more effective weapon than a bucket? And furthermore, what's the different between a pail and a bucket, anyway...?"
9. 'Taker A Dive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUTYDCkY_N0 To say expectations were high going into the Shawn Michaels-Undertaker match at WrestleMania XXV would be an understatement. Apart from a couple of clashes in the Royal Rumble matches of 2007 and 2008, the two men had not crossed paths since their legendary Hell in a Cell match since 1997 and, against all odds, it seemed as if they had both gotten better since that time. Their match at WrestleMania was expected to be one of the greatest bouts in WWE history. And it was. As good as everyone expected it to be, it was better. Michaels and The Undertaker had the war we were all waiting to see an epic battle of broken bodies and kicked-out-of finishers. Perhaps the tensest moment of the bout, though, was when Undertaker attempted his signature dive to the outside of the ring. What used to be a semi-standard spot for the Deadman had turned into a WrestleMania-only maneuver, and here we saw why 'Taker cleared the top rope, but immediately went into a nose dive, crashing face-first on the arena floor. The entire arena (and about a million fans watching on Pay-Per-View) fell silent until Undertaker stirred again. The spot itself was destined to fail Not only was Undertaker diving at the much smaller Michaels, but HBK wasn't even supposed to catch him. Instead, he was meant to dodge his flying assailant and pull a cameraman in front of 'Taker to save his own skin. The cameraman (actually Sim Snuka in disguise) was supposed to drop the camera and catch Undertaker. The whole plan approached Rube Goldberg-style levels of complication, and went off catastrophically. Luckily, Undertaker was not injured, but Sim Snuka was mysteriously fired shortly thereafter. Undertaker and Shawn Michaels would have an equally-excellent rematch at WrestleMania XXVI with no dive.
