God loves a trier.

You all remember Judgment Day 2000, if only for it being where The Undertaker first traded his life as a... zombie? mortician? whatever, for just being a big dad on a bike. But it was a more memorable night for a Ronald Basham who, he alleged, changed his life forever.

Merely a child at the time, Basham claimed that when The Rock and Triple H had spilled their match out into the crowd, they'd crushed him under the weight of a falling woman and displayed "reckless, willful and wanton conduct". The injuries he obtained under the woman had led to years of physical trauma and curtailed his life.

He also tried to sue the WWE for not providing proper safety for fans, but his case immediately hit a bit of a brick wall when it was revealed he'd not only been an active participant of several sports growing up, but an enthusiastic stock car racer. The fact he was only 17 when he decided to file the charges probably didn't help either.
