He's done it :D Bigshow was the first man eliminated, then Mick Foley.
Triple H ended up winning the match and defending the title thanks to Vince McMahon betraying The Rock!

Owen Hart is the one that died in the ring from a stunt gone badly wrong.

Plenty of others have died over the years. Test, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, China, Grand Master Sexay, Some through drugs and a few committed suicide.

Seems to have been loads of premature deaths of ex wrestlers over the last few years.

I think what Prop was referring to in particular was this:

Juddernaut88 wrote:The main event at Wrestlemania 16 was a fatal 4 way elimination match featuring Triple H, The Rock, Mankind and who else?


Was it really promoted like that? Pretty bad taste if it was, even for the cartoonish world of professional wrestling.

Hoooo boy, if you think that’s in poor taste don’t look up Casket Matches.

Four-way matches are always known as Fatal Four-Ways in WWE. To be honest I don’t think it’s in bad taste really. Things and events are described as synonyms for deadly all the time.

Perfect score HC.

I would have also accepted Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin the Paranoid Android.

Viva Douglas Adams. I re-read the first Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy a couple of weeks ago, an absolute joy, finished it in two days. I must have read that whole series, all 4 books in the increasingly inaccurately Trilogy 5 or 6 times as a teenager. Fuelled my passion for mixing fun with creativity.
