That's the question I ask all of you crappers. Everytime he is involved in a storyline, he takes an insane amount of punishment that takes its toll on the body. So what do you all think? Is Shane this generation's Dyanmite Kid?

This Generation's Dynamite would have been Brent Albright/Gunnar Scott, since he was being pushed as Benoit's Protege (and Benoit was the 'next' Dynamite).

No, Shane is just Shane....he takes some insane-looking bumps into crash pads and a few legit ones (Angle, KOTR) and is pretty entertaining, but he's no Dynamite.

Not even close. Shane was never a full time performer who was never near in the shape that Dynamite Kid was in. Shane keeps himself in good shape generally and is athletic/acrobatic enough to do those crazy spots. He has a lot of charisma and can put on enjoyable matches. That said, he just can't compare with Dynamite Kid. Kid was nothing near a spot monkey.

This is like comparing Cake to pizza.
Both are great in totally different ways.

Shane McMhaon has always baffled me. Its like he wants to be a full time wreslter (and honestly, if he had done so and trained a lot, dedicating all his time to it, he probably would have been very good) but daddy won't let him. Did he not want to be a wrestler, or was it the fear that no one would have taken him seriously (as the bosses kid).

although i think Shane is great, Dynamite is possibly the best wrestler ever. Shane...not so much.

I'll say this much, with all the spots he's done, he seems to be the only sane McMahon, and that includes Linda

Nope. Dynamite Kid was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. Shane-O-Mac is one of the greatest stuntmen to step into a wrestling ring.

No one would ever take you seriously as like, a big contender...

I don't know if Vince would have blocked Shane from being a wrestler, since Vince Sr. supposedly did the same to Vince Jr. It's probably partially everyone would think he's only in the position he's in because he's the bosses son, and not any talent he may or may not have.

Trying to think of ways in which Shane-O and dynamite-O are similar is giving me a headache. Not the same.

This topic gave me a nice little few minutes of laughter, good job. Not in the slightest can Shane be compared to Dynamite. Shane does what he does, as does whenever Vince does something, that the other boys can't complain about doing it, since the boss and his son have done it.

Shane is just a stunt man who books all his matches against everyone so he looks like a million dollars and whoever he wrestles looks like crap struggling to beat some chubby office suit. Of course if Vince or Steph did this they'd be crucified but people seem to sip Shane O'Mac Kool-Aid so he gets away with it.
Besides, as we know - he can fall onto boxes so GIVE HIM THE COMPANY!!!! Because how else are we to judge how good someone would run a sports entertainment company other than looking at how he falls? Afterall thats how most Shane supporters have made their decision that he should be the 'empowered' McMahon when Vince goes.

Afterall thats how most Shane supporters have made their decision that he should be the 'empowered' McMahon when Vince goes. I think most Shane supporters have made their decision based on how awful a show writer Stephanie has been, and how she tends to want to give monster pushes to talentless slobs like Daniel Rodimer, who hasn't even been wrestling for 6 months yet....

Afterall thats how most Shane supporters have made their decision that he should be the 'empowered' McMahon when Vince goes. Stephanie: Wants to push Daniel Rodimer and has at various points booked some amazingly putrid angles. Shane: Has killed himself in-ring to help get guys over at various times (see: Blackman, Big Show, Test, Kane) Winner: Shane ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephanie: her tv presence makes many want to vomit with rage. When on TV, she puts her mug all over whatever show she's on. Shane : When he is on tv (which is usually every 6-8 months, for maybe a month or 2 at a time) he is usually used in somewhat moderation and as I mentioned above, he puts others over winner: Shane ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephanie: slept with HHH Shane: did not sleep with HHH Winner: Shane......... ok, this last one can be thrown out But in all seriousness, given Steph's god awful track record, can you tell me that Shane wouldnt be a better choice than Nipple H, or Vince who is getting more crazy and out of touch by the day?
