Just before he really hit it big, Steve Austin was nearly paralyzed after Owen Hart gave him a stiff piledriver during a PPV match. On which PPV event did this happen? 2.

Name one person who was also on that plane flight with Ric when it crashed in the 70s. 3. Poor HHH tore his quad in 2001in San Jose. In what arena did HHH make his grand return in 2002 (with lots of fresh, brand new muscle he got by "eating more protein")? 4.
