10 of the Most Controversial Incidents in Pro Wrestling History

9. Austin gets crucified

In the midst of a feud with the Undertaker, Austin probably figured his biggest fear would be a Tombstone piledriver. Little did he know that he would end up crucified on national television.

While Austin was not nailed to a cross, he was chained to the Undertaker's symbol and hung above the arena. The angle offended both religious and non-religious fans alike, and is seen as one of the lower points of the Attitude Era. Despite the controversy, WWE repeated the segment with Stephanie McMahon up on the cross.
