SWERVE! I’m doing The Undertaker as number 30, as next week at Survivor Series and his presumed actual “retirement” (we’ll see about that) he hits his 30th anniversary as the gimmick in WWF/E.

Worst punches I’ve ever seen but fucking hell, that lad didn’t half put his body on the line (completely unnecessarily). Same as Mean Street Posse actually, they put themselves out there more than half the roster
Him as a cocky heel in the late 90s whos just a suck up to his dad was golden
no man. I always thought he was just one of those tag team type wrestlers like the Hardy Boyz who kind of just hung around on the periphery. the only things I know him for is that millennium bug gimmick they had and ‘little bit of the bubbly’
have you watched his one actual “wrestling” match with AJ Styles from a couple years ago? It somewhat confusingly ended up being the match of the night despite it’s odd booking choice of putting Shane on the level of one of the legit greatest active wrestlers in the world, but it’s good fun all the same
clip here of him with Rory’s dad, it was during his hiatus, he was involved with his management in some way. He wasn’t referenced by the commentators or anything though, so I was just watching and thinking ‘isn’t that…Shane McMahon? What on earth is he doing there?’
Absolute five, my wrestling fandom coincided with him jumping off tall things and I lived for it.
One of those fascinating cases where it’s almost impossible to entangle the real person from the wrestler, like his character is a shit eating smarmy fancy lad desperate for his dad’s approval, but it’s impossible not to assume that’s also the case in real life? That’s the kind of psychodrama I can get behind.
here’s my two cents: He’s obviously not a wrestler but the amount of effort and work he put in to have really entertaining matches and moments despite his in-ring deficiencies is unparalleled in its impressiveness really even if it was largely just for his dad’s approval.
Plus he seems like a genuinely good bunch of lad in a family and industry upbringing where he could have turned out a complete cunt, and given he could hold it against his sister for being essentially jumping the line to be the heir apparent, he still to just really enjoy being a part of all this and love his family. 4 from me.
