Game Show hosted by wrestler Chris Jericho on ABC for a single season in 2010 as the Wipeout lead-out, whose main draw is that the contestant tries to save a series of prizes from going over the edge of a rather tall building on a Conveyor Belt o' Doom.The contestant picked a category off a board, and had to correctly answer a certain number of clues from it. While the belt also contained nice bonus prizes, the box of money at the end of the line had to survive in order to move on to the next round, and the belt sped up for each question passed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The contestant also got two uses of a "Panic Button", which stops the round, resets the belt, forfeits the prizes on the belt, and allows them to pick a new category, but also forces them to put a personal possession or a supporter on the belt, the latter allowing the two to confer on answers. Survival through all seven rounds awards $1,000,000.While Jericho hinted on Twitter that more episodes were going to be filmed in the fall, this never happened. The show got canned, and said cans got sent over the same rooftop. It got replaced the following summer by 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show.Not to be confused with the World War II film of the same name.

Deadly Game: This show could have been one (or at least play itself off as one), if only they didn't blatantly avert it and rub this fact it in the viewers' faces. The show tries to portray itself as being safe, not destroying real prizes, etc. Unfortunately, this takes away from the experience. A lot.

All or Nothing: While there are safety nets for cash, the banked prizes from previous rounds are lost if the contestant loses the game.

And There Was Much Rejoicing: The kind of reaction a lot of the prize destruction gets, it's almost like the audience isn't there for the actual game at all!

Eject the Loser: If you lost, you were sent over the edge on the belt (while your fall was controlled by a cable, of course.)
