Line 115:

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze]]'' strangely combines [[Anticlimax Boss]] and Dropped a Bridge on Him by having Super Shredder drop a dock on himself. Close enough.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)
== Films -- Live Action ==
Line 365:
== Professional Wrestling ==
* [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] wrestler Muhammad Hassan may be the only wrestler to ever have his character killed off without the wrestler himself dying (at least before 2007 - see below), due to [[Executive Meddling]] on the part of the UPN network. After UPN demanded he be removed, his next Pay-Per-View match saw him thrown through a metal stage by The Undertaker. Our last sight of him is him laying in a pool of his own blood, surrounded by twisted wreckage.
** Vince McMahon himself would later fall victim to this trope, as the 6-11-2007 episode of Monday Night Raw, which the chairman had dubbed "Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night", ended with a stricken, dejected Vince entering a limousine, which promptly exploded. (Perhaps, in a medium known for phony "firings" and "retirements", Vince felt he needed a more dramatic method of writing himself off of television).
*** Ironically, they were going to resolve the "who killed Vince McMahon" storyline on the RAW after the Vengeance: Night of Champions pay-per-view, if I recall correctly, but then Chris Benoit died in real life. The storyline was quietly dropped, with Vince admitting the whole thing was faked.
