5 Insane ways WWE characters were killed off on TV

2: Mr. McMahon (limo explosion)

The Boss met a grisly end in 2007 when his limo exploded.

After losing his hair and the ECW World Championship in mid-2007, Mr. McMahon was not well.

On a June 2007 episode of RAW, the boss seemed particularly deranged, walking to his limousine, almost in a trance.

Stepping inside the limo, the automobile would instantly explode, seemingly killing the chairman.

As WWE stock plummetted, the company had to say McMahon was "presumed dead", as investors couldn't quite tell what was real and what wasn't.

An investigation was held that saw many Superstars become suspects in snuffing out the much-despised boss.

Unfortunately, real life tragedy would end this story, as on the night of his 'funeral', the WWE would host a tribute to the Benoit family who had been found dead that weekend, before the reality of Chris Benoit's actions came to light mere hours after the broadcast.
