So here is a question, how many times on wrestling have their been actual depictions of attempted murder. Not someone almost killing someone in the ring, but in the storyline someone performing an act backstage that served no purpose other than to legitimately try and kill someone else. I can think of Stone Cold getting hit by the car, and the Undertaker and Paul Bearer trying to embalm Stone Cold alive.

Shane McMahon pushed Kane into a burning dumpster A mystery person blew Vince's limo up and didn't New Jack say he was trying to kill Vic Grimes when he threw him off the scaffold? (more of a real intent to kill instead of a storyline)

Matt attacking Jeff in a stairwell, sabotaging his pyro, and trying to run his car off the road probably counts too.

Randy Orton topped this by doing the same but then taking an ax to the casket. He also drove a lowrider through the Smackdown set with Taker on it making it blow up. Nevermind it seems Kane and Randy might have done the same thing. KungFu Grip fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Sep 20, 2009 |

Well to be fair, Kane took an axe to the casket before pouring the gas. He had to punch a hole in the top to fill up the inside.

Trips hits people with a sledgehammer every month or so. A sledgehammer. Not a chair, or a baseball bat, or even a steel pipe. A loving sledgehammer. Sometimes they win the match afterwards. I mean, not often, but sometimes.

weekly font posted:Didn't Hulk Hogan knock the Giant off the roof of an arena? The best thing about that was the announcing afterwards. Bobby Heenan said "Wait! Which side of the arena did he go off? Was it the side on the river, or..."  And someone, I think it was Tony Schiavone, replies "What does it matter!? On one side you've got a parking lot, on the other side is water, what does it matter?" And Heenan just gives him this glare of death, like he said the stupidest loving thing ever, which of course Tony did.

Of the top of my head, I can think of: Austin kidnapping Bret Hart during their feud. Starts off with a street fight, with Austin putting Bret in the sharpshooter forever. Bret gets stretchered and taken to an ambulance...where Austin is waiting for him.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Also in case you are not sped up on Hassan, the Undertaker essentially kayfabe killed him at Great American Bash '05 by Last Riding him through the stage. The guy who played him has pretty much dropped off the face of the Earth, not a peep from him that I can find since then--which suggests he either left on bad terms or decided to be a plumber or something. Hassan was played by a guy called Mark Copani, and given that his starting gimmick was "but I'm American!" it should come as no surprise that he was actually Italian (that's why they had Daivari speak Farsi for him - a kind of reverse Runjin Singh) He moved to LA to become a proper actor I recall, but if you search for him on the internet you get nothing past Muhammed Hassan, so he's probably struggling as an extra.

You are always going to have obsesives in any field and its always going to make you dislike some of your peers. I like my car and like to make it go faster and stuff like that, but Automotive Insanity is loving embarassing to read to me and I feel really bad for the kid who spends every cent his parents give him because he is trying to build the worlds fastest civic because he doesn't know any bette. I just can't imagine someone obsessing that much or ignoring some much common sense over some things.

If so, what thread/s has it spawned? This might make me actually get archives. Hogan slamming Andre followed by 99 arguments
