Undertaker pinning his opponent after a Tombstone PiledriverThe Undertaker is one of the greatest characters in the history of WWE. The Deadman, and his horror themed gothic character with a dynamic and dark presence, has always intimidated his opponents with his antics and mind games. He has always had a psychological advantage over his competitors, and that has been enough to get the upper hand in his matches. His legendary streak at Wrestlemania (21-1) will go down in the history books as one of the most exceptional records of all time.The Tombstone Piledriver, or the kneeling reverse piledriver, is the Undertaker’s most powerful weapon, which he uses to decimate his opponents and finish them off with. The move is usually followed by the Rest in Peace pin, and usually the Piledriver is enough to defeat his opponents. However, there have been a few wrestlers who have managed to kick out of the dreaded finisher. Let us now look at 5 wrestlers who did kick out of the Deadman’s finisher.

#5 Batista- Survivor Series 2007

Batista had recently won the World Heavyweight Championship from The Great Khali, and The Undertaker had made a return to WWE at that time. A match was made between the two at the Survivor Series PPV in 2007. It was a Hell in a Cell match, and the main event of Smackdown at the PPV.

The battle between these two wrestlers was very brutal and intense. At one point, Batista hit Undertaker with a Batista Bomb through a table. The most surprising moment of the match came when Undertaker hit Batista with a Tombstone Piledriver, but Batista kicked out at two. This was quite shocking, and the Undertaker went on to hit another Tombstone on top of the steel steps. This time he managed to put him down, but an interference caused by Edge led to Batista retaining the title.
