Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Shane McMahon doing his latest impression of a lemming. That's a traditional lemming, not the green-haired, blue-tuniced ones who build bridges to make their way through a portal.

Gravity might have forgotten Neville, but Shane-O-Mac outright mugged it off, sticking two fingers up at Newtonian physics which suggested what comes down must go splat. This heart-in-mouth plummet from the scaffolding at Backlash 2001 made a mockery of workplace health and safety audits the world over, and though Big Show provided the largest target possible, the margin for error was still ridiculously broad. Even landing on a heavily padded staging area and with the World's Largest Human Cushion there to break the fall, it was an absolutely idiotic thing to do.

Looked good, though.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
