10 Most Emotional Shows In Wrestling History
Triumph, tragedy and everything in between, the business sure does run the gamut...
7. WrestleMania XXX
The night after the 2014 Hall of Fame induction ceremony was also a very emotional one.
WrestleMania XXX represented something of a wrestling rollercoaster, treating fans to some dizzying highs and devastating lows.
Of the highs, none were higher than Daniel Bryan, the people's champion and a man who found himself in the position he was in thanks in large part to audience persistence, first beating Triple H in the opener and then making Batista tap out (in a triple threat match also featuring Randy Orton) to win the WWE Heavyweight Title.
In the jubilant post-match scene, D-Bry took the time to embrace Connor Michalek, the terminally-ill eight-year-old fan who had captured the heart of the man he idolised and, just writing about it, I feel as though my non-existent allergies are acting up.
Michalek passed away less than three weeks later.
Though not comparable to that very real tragedy, the ending of The Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak at the hands of Brock Lesnar had many fans feeling a sudden sense of loss.
The most infamous result in wrestling history, the plethora of different reactions showed the true range of emotions that fans inside the Superdome were feeling, from sadness and confusion to shock and anger.
