7. Big Boss Man Crashes The Funeral Of Big Show’s Father: November 11, 1999

The Attitude Era is the most beloved era in pro wrestling history, but let’s be honest, it did feature some outrageous stuff that would have never worked in any other era.  One of the most outrageous stunts the Attitude Era got away with came courtesy of The Big Boss Man.

By November of 1999, Boss Man was one of the most sadistic heels in the WWE with no remorse for anybody.  This especially rang true when he became entangled in a feud with The Big Show that would eventually lead to one of the most outrageous moments in not only SmackDown history, but WWE history.

The WWE decided to air a fake funeral for Big Show’s recently deceased father and it would turn into a heel act never seen before.  While Show was saying a few words on behalf of his father, Boss Man drove in and caused a ruckus.  This incensed Big Show, but what would come next was the truly insane part of it all.

Boss Man decided to hook Big Show’s father’s coffin onto the back of the car he was driving and drove off with the coffin.  But Big Show decided to hop on the coffin to try and save it while the car was in motion, only to fall off while Boss Man drove away.  It was simply madness and is one of the most memorable moments in WWE history by most accounts.

Nothing was off limits in the Attitude Era, including stealing a coffin with a dead person inside from a funeral.
