WWE: 10 Most Paused Wrestling Moments 4

4. Orton’s Missed Punt

Something else in the last year which demanded to be paused was Randy Orton’s punt on The Big Show in the main event of Survivor Series 2013. As the match winning move you would have expected this to be a resounding finisher, but even in real time, this looked a little … off.
Upon pausing the action to see the point of impact, it was clear Orton had missed contact by quite some margin. This stood out so badly given how big the Giant’s head is, Orton literally couldn’t miss, but he did. The timing and execution was as bad as you’ll see in the WWE. For a match to finish on such a badly blown spot, for Show to sell like the air punt had connected, it was all very embarrassing.
Survivor Series 2013 went on to do the worst buyrate in its modern era history, so at least many people didn’t see the blown spot you could argue!
