Line 369:
=== Professional Wrestling ===
* Muhammad Hassan fell victim to this trope after his match with [[The Undertaker]] at The Great American Bash. After the match, Undertaker tore off several of the panels covering the stage and giving him a [[Finishing Move|Last Ride]] through the hole, complete with a rather disturbing sounding crash a few seconds later. While other wrestlers have taken falls from high heights as part of their match, sometimes being put out of action, this was meant in storyline to kill off the character, as [[UPN]] [[Executive Meddling/Professional Wrestling|forced the]] [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] [[Executive Meddling/Professional Wrestling|to remove him from the air.]]
* A tragic non-villain example happened to [[Owen Hart]], who during his entrance when he rappeled in from the rafters, fell 78 feet to his death. It was only by luck that this didn't happen on national television, who saw only a backstage promo instead.
Line 410:
** Alexei meanwhile...wasn't entirely killed by Yuri. ([[Faux Symbolism|His ambitions technically crushed him]]) And you'd assume that after ''four times'', that Duke would fall to his death or be crushed by his ambitions, right? Well...you wouldn't be further from the truth. He actually ''saves the day''.
* Averted and played straight in ''Dirge of Cerberus: [[Final Fantasy VII]]''; Rosso the Crimson cuts away the chunk of masonry she's standing on and falls to her death rather than admit defeat and Azul the Cerulean falls into an elevator shaft after having a double-barrelled cannon thrown through his stomach.
* Occurs in [[Chaos Legion]], but it was a willing leap from the villain
* Ridley, in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'', is pushed out of a balcony by statues with laser beams. Despite the shockwave of the explosion he creates when reaching the bottom, you know he will be back.
** The whole fight against Meta-Ridley at the start of Metroid Prime 3 is played entirely in free fall. As such, when you deliver the final blow, you're saved by a fellow bounty hunter, but Ridley isn't so lucky, plummeting to his death, though he eventually returns thanks to Phazon corruption.
