10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2004 Facts

The Undertaker ended up losing by disqualification, giving JBL a cheap win and prolonging the feud. As a parting shot to their involvement on SummerSlam night, an irate Undertaker was supposed to chokeslam JBL through the roof of his limousine. The limo had been rigged so that the roof would break away, and JBL would land on a crash-pad in the seating area inside.

Sometime before the spot, one of the ticket-buying rowdies (possibly after a few too many "soda pops") jumped the guardrail, and climbed onto the limo's roof in a public display of stupidity.

JBL believes that the only thing that saved that dolt from falling through (which would've hit the double-whammy of injuring the fan, and blowing the post-match angle) is that one of the people coordinating the stunt had patched the breakaway roof a bit more firmly so that it wouldn't noticeably sag before the chokeslam spot.
