An Outstanding History!

WWE.com have recently took a look at the History of the Last Man Standing match in promotion of the upcoming match between Randy Orton and Triple H, and Undertaker’s matches were mentioned.

Undertaker vs. The Great Khali

“Fearing that Undertaker and The Great Khali would destroy each other before their Last Man Standing Match at SummerSlam 2006, General Manager Theodore Long rescheduled it for an edition of SmackDown – the first time this brutal match type would be aired on network TV. The Deadman took the fight to the Punjabi Giant, using whatever he could get his hands on, including ring steps and steel chairs.

Though he was thrown off the stage onto a row of tables, The Phenom managed to rise before the 10-count and respond to the attack with a flurry of chair blows to Khali’s head. After being planted to the mat with a vicious chokeslam, the 7-foot-3 leviathan stayed down as Undertaker was declared the victor.”

Batista vs. The Undertaker

“After Undertaker defeated Batista at WrestleMania 23 to win the World Heavyweight Championship, The Animal challenged The Phenom to a Last Man Standing Match at Backlash 2007. Batista unloaded his entire arsenal on Undertaker, but even spinebusters and a Batista Bomb weren’t enough to keep The Deadman down – Undertaker kept on rising before the referee could complete the 10-count.

With no other options left, Batista speared The Phenom off the stage, sending both men crashing into a bank of audio equipment. They were both rendered unconscious, and as medical personnel rushed to their sides, the referee called the match a no contest, with Undertaker retaining the title.”
