10 Most Shocking WWE TitanTron Moments

2. Hardcore

The first of many insane bumps Shane McMahon would take in his career as a part-time WWE stuntman was arguably his very best, as 'The Boy Wonder' suicidally flew backwards from the top of the SummerSlam 2000 TitanTron structure.

After spending the laughable Hardcore Title match against former champion Steve Blackman mostly on defence, 'Shane-O-Mac' made a futile bid for freedom up the side of the screen in a last-ditch effort to escape 'The Lethal Weapon'.

Blackman promptly followed with a kendo stick, reaching the same level as Shane and whacking him with the weapon, causing McMahon to plummet to the stage below.

The fall was visually staggering. Powerless to stop the impact, the sight of Shane blindly descending from such a height was incredible, and even topped the impressive elbow drop Blackman would hit from lower down the rig to complete the beating and take back his title.
