10 Crazy WWE Stunts (And How They Did Them)

10. Vince's Limo Explosion

This is a pretty easy one to start with. The segment in which Vince McMahon "died" in a limousine explosion simply switches from a live feed - the camera behind him as he approaches the vehicle - to a pre-recorded one: the wide-shot of him opening the door and climbing inside.

Apart from being pretty obvious (since there's no way they'd actually attempt something this ambitious - and potentially dangerous - live) there are also a couple of continuity errors which give the game away.

For one thing, there seems to be a puddle in front of the limo from the wide view which isn't visible as he's walking towards it. He also appears to be a couple of steps further along in the first shot compared to the second. You might even point to the extra production truck in the back for the live bit (although that could be the camera angle).

Of course, none of this really mattered once the distasteful angle involving the chairman of the board became a mere footnote in the overall story of Chris Benoit's death. Now, we're destined to remember it for all the wrong reasons.
