Man Chioda (the ref) really got clocked there huh Shane O'Mac has a history of doing some insane shit in the ring. I'll have to start suggesting his greatest hits the next few cycles.

2025-02-21 10:37:18 +0000 UTCShane was always best in stip matches like the one with Angle, Steve Blackman at SummerSlam 2000 or the ones with Kane at Unforgiven and Survivor Series 2003.

2025-02-21 08:40:33 +0000 UTCHilarious that David Otunga called Shane a cardio king when Shane would start sweating buckets after a few minutes. The guy had no cardio. The idea that Shane was this great striker because he practiced Muay Thai and MMA was completely laughable. He’s a guy in his 50s fighting a guy ten years younger than him who was at the time arguably the best wrestler in the company and the entire world. The reason for three announce tables was because there was one for Raw, one for SmackDown and one for the Spanish team. The German, French, Mandarin, Japanese and Russian teams used to be behind the hard cam. They’d get introduced early on during PLEs.

2025-02-21 06:17:59 +0000 UTCBy the grace of God and AJ Styles is right, God bless Shane, but he gets by on aura and his willingness to do crazy stuff pretty much, and the fact that he is reasonably OK enough to be carried by someone awesome like AJ or Kurt Angle.

2025-02-21 06:17:10 +0000 UTCI had never even thought about that, but you are so right! Man that’s kind of awful actually. Currently black pilling over this fact. I mean the Undertaker match was better, but it wasn’t a traditional match, but I love AJ, so I will refute you by siding it as proof that he does have one better.

2025-02-21 00:49:09 +0000 UTCShane McMahon had the best match at this Wrestlemania. Yes, Styles carried him, but it still takes two to put on a good match. And think about what that says about the rest of the card. These were dark times indeed.

2025-02-20 22:37:20 +0000 UTCWhat's insane and TBH, kinda sad is that this is AJ's best mania match. I say it's kinda sad is because Shane is not even a wrestler and AJ had mania matches with people like Edge and Randy Orton. Not to say those matches were bad but they were so underwhelming

2025-02-20 22:20:45 +0000 UTCOh look it's perhaps the greatest carry job in wrestling history lol Real talk Shane tried here but the dude could barely go in his prime and it was worse here with him clearly breathing heavy like 5 minutes in(shooting star press was cool asf tho) However this AJ performance is immaculate He has to find a healthy balance of making this match seem even semi realistic while keeping Shane safe from himself while also putting in the work himself And he frankly does it Awesome match(by the grace of God and AJ Styles)

2025-02-20 21:59:58 +0000 UTCI was in the crowd for that one, Shane McMahon is a mixed bag overall but he never fails to bring spectacle into all of his matches!
