1997: all hell breaks lose as Sid and Undertaker continue to brawl in the half-built cage while Bret tries to both brawl with Austin and reach smile-less HBK who watches from a distance

1998: Austin pins Rock (hey how about that) then begs HBK to get in the ring until HHH holds him back like a fight outside a kebab shop at 3am

2010: Cena gets Batista angry enough to cross his own security wall so he can slap him daft

2011: Wrestlemania host The Rock beats up WWE Champion The Miz so John Cena attacks The Rock because WrestleMania XXVII was a set up show for WrestleMania XXVIII
