'The Prodigal Stuntman's most verifiably senseless tumble is something of a megamix medley of all the previous McMahon madness. It has the dizzying height of the Backlash legdrop, the unpredictable backwardness of Vince's Valentine's Day bump, and the extreme idiocy of the Hell in a Cell plunge. This was utterly, utterly bonkers.

Quite aside from the mammoth risk Shane took on the fall itself, everyone's favourite kendo-carrier Steve Blackman was just as prone, and either man could have misplaced their footing ascending the scaffold. There was absolutely no need for this crazy caper, though to be fair, we are still talking about it 16 years later.
