7. WrestleMania XXIV Goes Up In Flames
WrestleMania XXIV is remembered fondly by fans for featuring one of the best matches in The Undertakers streak vs Edge, the appearance of Floyd Money Mayweather who challenged The Big Show, and the legendary retirement match of The Nature Boy Ric Flair v Shawn Michaels. One incident that isnt often remembered, but is just as noteworthy, is the disastrous pyrotechnics accident that occurred after the main event. During The Undertakers victory celebration, as fireworks thundered throughout the stadium, a cable from the pyrotechnics set-up snapped and accidentally flew into in the upper seating are of the Citrus Bowl. The cable that snapped was unfortunately carrying some of the fireworks, and accidentally shot them straight into the seats of fans, injuring forty-five people in the process. While most injured parties only suffered minor abrasions and were sent home that day, more than a few audience members were hospitalised for their burns. WWE announced they were launching a full investigation into how this happened, and while no results were ever published, its believed that WWE placed the blame on the Citrus Bowls technicians and settled any lawsuits out of court.
