Shane Mcmahon

[ilggant]

Anyone else tired of Shane Mcmahon wrestling?

He's a non-wrestler who has never been a wrestler to begin with, and while not a horrible performer, makes his opponents look bad by hanging with them when this is their job and they've been training for so many years, with most being former world champions to boot.

I know it's a pre-determined sport, but it would make no sense in any other sport that someone who has never been a player in that particular sport to go toe to toe with the sport's absolute best.

To make matters worse, Raw is letting legend Kurt Angle wrestle and captain their team, while on the Smackdown side you have a certain Daniel Bryan who they will not clear and are replacing with Shane and hoping we won't notice. Now I get medical issues and all, but we all know Bryan is going to wrestle again whether we like it or not, so I'd rather it be in the 'safe' WWE ring than killing himself on the indies.

Anyone else frustrated with this, or am I just a sad, sad man?

[Baby, it’s Jes outside]

Yes. I'm actually tired of seeing any of the McMahons on TV. They're reaching Gagne levels of irritating.

[bootytea]

Yeah, the whole thing is a mess.

Shane's selling point about Smackdown was that it was all about the performers yet he is the focal point of the show a lot of the times.

I also hate the cell bump he keeps doing because it's setting a dangerous expectation for Hell in a Cell matches.

I'll just quote what I said about Shane a couple weeks ago:

I remember being excited when Shane came back. I thought it would be a refreshing change from Hunter and Steph constantly inserting themselves into feuds and being the center of attention.

Then I remembered that Shane is still a McMahon.

So yeah, I'm about ready for Shane to go back to doing whatever it was he was doing before his triumphant return a year and a half ago.

I don't even mind him in the Commissioner role, to be honest, just step the hell away from the ring and let the performers perform.

[Push R Truth]

I don't mind Shane in the "Commissioner that can take and throw a punch, and maybe slightly participate in a big multi-man match." I'm souring on the "Shane the Wrestler that has 15+ minute spot-fests."

Even though I really like(ed) Shane the wrestler, I'd be perfectly OK if he never had a single match again that lasted more than 5 minutes. Most of those matches should be Shane going "McMahon Crazy", challenging a wrestler and getting slaughtered most of the time like Vince would.

I don't mind him in a Survivor Series match where both GMs are in it since it sort of makes sense. He just shouldn't have competitive singles matches against any of the talent.

Only he's not the GM. He's the commissioner, so it still doesn't make sense from a storyline standpoint.

I was tired of McMahons wrestling in the previous century.

........things never turned around on that front, obviously.

[Surfer Sandman]

Sick of Shane and Steph as always here.

I like my RAW and Smackdown McMahon-free.

[Allie Kitsune]

I'm not sure why SS had to be turned into yet another Shane vs. Steph pissing contest.

[Gerard Gerard]

Does his wacky shit have any storyline history of success? Outside of Big Show at Backlash 2001 (and even that had an assist), does leaping from 90000ft have any demonstrable track record of not being goof f***ing stupid? Most egregiously, with few exceptions, he's portrayed like he's got a fighting shot 'til he pulls his Dollar General Evel Knievel routine.

He was competitive with Owens 'til the cell bump, ditto for 'Taker. He was undone by his own Van Terminator last year, likewise by a missed SSP at WM33.

[Bob Schlapowitz]

I've been sick of all the McMahons since about 2000.

[Thunderbolt]

I'm only OK with it at this point because I'm hoping Kurt beats the bejeezus out of Shane one more time.

[freeze Austin]

I'm okay with him in gimmick matches with weapons where it's more believable, but only like once or twice a year. Just no more straight up wrestling matches where someone like AJ Styles has to sell for his absurd looking punches (though the ones he threw against Owens to start the HIAC match might've been the worst of all-time).

And I would say no more feuds with Steph, but that's probably asking for too much.

[Chiral]

It's still bizarre to me that instead of elevating others up to fill gaps by part timers leaving, that Shane got "powered up" and they put him in that spot.

[The Kevstaaa]

I like Shane and I don't mind him being in matches, mainly because he's not beating or making main roster guys look bad. It's not like when Royal Rumble winner Orton had to sell for Shane's bad punches. Since returning, he's lost all his singles matches and, unlike his sister, never goes out of his way to make the wrestlers look bad.

They could do a new "don't try this at home" spot!!

Be wary of any glass windows on the set dressing of Survivor Series, that's all I'm sayin'...

"I thought Shane might have been knocked out"

"......again"
