10 Wrestlers Who Got Hit With A Car (And WHO DID IT!)

10. Stone Cold Steve Austin (By Rikishi)

The biggest hit-and-run in wrestling because it happened to the biggest guy in the game, WWE went huge with a stunt to try and justify why they were changing their pay-per-view main event during the show at the hedonistic height of the Attitude Era.

The plan failed, as did the first attempt at a payoff. Survivor Series 1999 absolutely stunk in spite of The Big Show's shock WWE Championship victory as Stone Cold Steve Austin's replacement. Rikishi being revealed as the perpetrator reeked enough that they retconned it just months later too.

Slaves to the red herring clues they'd already dropped (driver was blonde, had access to The Rock's rental car, wasn't on the scene at the time), WWE at least applied logic to the Samoan's surprising plot, but "did it for The Rock" became a meme before such culture even existed, and a red hot babyface became a lukewarm heel when faced with the rage of 'The Rattlesnake'.

Triple H turning on Austin to confirm that he was the true mastermind was hokey and loaded with his Machiavellian political instincts, but went some way to salvaging a pretty sh*tty deal.
