It’s been a long, long time since professional wrestling resembled an actual sporting competition. Honestly though, who needs anticlimactic first round tap-outs when you can watch a dude get clobbered with a chair for making time with another guy’s girlfriend? But, occasionally wrestling pushes it too far. Don’t believe us? Then check our list of the eleven strangest, most bizarre, and unfathomable wrestling angles in history.

Tagging in God

Like many wrestlers, Shawn Michaels holds devout Christian beliefs that he’s not afraid to share with his fans. The Heartbreak Kid has even joined televangelist Pat Robertson on The 700 Club. But while most wrestlers keep their religion somewhat separate from their work, The Showstopper went ahead and brought The Creator into the ring with him.

At WrestleMania 22, Michaels defeated Mr. McMahon in a No Holds Barred Match despite the interference of both McMahon’s son, Shane and the Spirit Squad. Dismissing the victory as “an act of God,” the Chairman of WWE placed himself and his son in a match at Backlash 2006 against the tag team of Michaels and his heavenly father.
