10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 17 Facts
9. Raven Almost Accidentally Cut The Power To The Show
The Hardcore Championship bout pitting Raven, Big Show, and Kane was an enjoyable mix of brutality and comedy, a winning formula for any midcard offering. The most memorable scene of the match was the brief golf cart chase in which Raven tries to flee in one cart, but crashes after being accosted by Show.
According to Raven, the chase was supposed to circle the entire building, but he'd made a nearly-dire miscalculation. To give the impression that Show's attack hindered his ability to drive, Raven tried to swerve the cart into a mesh retaining wall with the idea of "bouncing" off of it and continuing to drive away.
What he didn't realize is that there was a gap between the concrete foundation and the wall, and the tires plunged into the groove. Apparently, there was some critical wiring located in that gap, and Raven was later told by production crew members that he had come within a quarter-inch of knocking out power to the broadcast.
