I never cared for how Shane was booked against Kane, Angle and a lot of people.
Not so much that it hurt the wrestlers he feuded with (because it didn't), but Shane does his crazy spots on a semi-regular basis, so that keeps the label of "non-wrestler" attached to him, and thus I thought he looked too powerful at times.

Shane vs. New Jack BOOK IT! I would pay good money for that, but have a mash up of Natural Born Thrillers and Here Comes The Money play throughout the match

I hate how spotted out his spots are sometimes...with huge mats set out with a tarp over them so they look like they are not mats until you see how bad he is sinking down in them.
Its like he started off doing legit crazy stuff, then they decided he always had to do stunts and set up props and stuff for him.
examples;
-the time he got choke slammed on an eletrical unit and it started to spark and smoke -The time he fell off the titan tron on to the biggest mat ever -the time he got his nuts electrocuted by Kane -the time he got thrown through prop windows (which was cool because the prop windows didnt work and things got legit)
I'm not impressed with his stunt show though...although he does have balls, I'll admit that

But Shane's most recent stint as a wrestler was as a heel. I wonder how much more heel heat he could contribute to a feud if he decided not to go all out? If he just wrestled a normal match? As it's been said, every time Shane wrestles, people expect the stunts. Whereas Shane could do that crazy stuff legit before, now he needs extreme (no pun intended) amounts of padding. Instead of just doing something that seems fake, Shane could just wrestle and keep teasing stunts and then saying "Ah, F it," stepping down from the ropes or scaffold or whatever, and let the fans shower him with boos for not going through with it.

I LOVED him as Benoit's manager. He has such an awesome chairshot, where he leaps and hits them mid air with the thing.

Like when he cost The Rock his shot at WM 16 (he would later win it back) against the Big Show at No Way Out 2000. The Rock goes for the People's Elbow, and as he comes off the ropes to deliver the elbow, Shane comes flying out of NOWHERE and KO's his ass. Awesome.
I'd actually love to see Shane manage an up-and-comer. Maybe Shelton Benjamin. Imagine the rub he could give by being a mouthpiece for a guy less talented on the mic. And wrestling doesn't really have many prickwad managers anymore, who get in everyone's business and interferes and generally acts as an obnoxious douche, then rants about how great his guy is. And Shane could do that hit-and-run sort of job. Watch the Winner-Takes-All match from Survivor Series 2001. Shane spent half the match running in and out, breaking up pins, to the point where even JR seemed to get annoyed on commentary. Again, awesome.
