WWE put together a compilation of everyone who’s ever kicked out after an Undertaker Tombstone Piledriver … all eight of them, from the first official kickout from Kane to the most recent, from Brock Lesnar. The video’s a great nostalgic look back, but you’ll notice a trend: there’s almost a decade before the first kickout and almost a decade after that until the second, and then it turns into “one kickout per WrestleMania.” The good news there is that aside from Brock, those kickouts tend to stay at one, and one per Mania.
Here’s the full rundown:
– Kane at WrestleMania XIV
– Batista at WrestleMania 23
– Edge at WrestleMania XXIV
– Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXV
– Shawn Michaels (again!) at WrestleMania XXVI
– Triple H at WrestleMania XXVII
– CM Punk at WrestleMania 29
– Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX
– Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 31
Quick question, does anybody remember Bray Wyatt kicking out of a Tombstone at WrestleMania 31? That one completely slipped my mind.
Of course, the list doesn’t include people who got hit by a Tombstone and totally no-sold it before even BEING pinned. That honor goes to the Orange Bastard all the way back in 1991. Thanks, Hulk, you’re the greatest.
