Compare a non-trained Shane to a non-trained/trained David Flair

He was a great character. Underrated.

completely agree. he was actually a better technical wrestler than maven, Goldberg, Ultimate warrior I could go on

 

[EmpireShallFall]

I hated him when I was a kid. Wish he'd return now.

This was awful and cringeworthy.

"If you see Shane O'Mac and a grizzly getting into a fight you better help the grizzly because that kid is not gonna give up."

Hoooooly shit. Someone make a thread about the worst sold matches of all time. I want more embarrassing shit like this.

On another note, El Dandy looks like Nacho Libre.

He probably felt like he had to do the craziest shit to prove himself to the boys backstage that he wasn't just Vince's spoiled son.

his sister could stand to learn something from him

He's 45 now.

During that time period I thought he was in his early to mid 20s. I had no idea he was in his early 30s.

One of the very few people in wrestling that everyone loves. Add that he was a non-wrestler, the boss´ son and someone I have never ever heard anybody say a bad word about him, in such a resentful business as pro-wrestling, and you have a one in a lifetime rarity.

Except for maybe Steph and Vince. Shane is very much like Steph and Vince but in many ways also very different. He didn't care for all the stupid, immature, illogical, and childish things Vince and Steph did and a large reason why he left the WWE in 2010. Love Shane and as you noted, he and probably 'Taker, are the only guys who have been in the wrestling business for more than 5-6 years that no one really has a bad word to say about.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Shane is great. Seems like a good dude too. Put his life on the line for the fans, and didn't over stay his welcome. Nothing but good things to say about him.

 

[Prime Ang]

KOTR match vs Angle is one of the first matches I show people when I'm trying to get them into wrestling. Dude is severely underrated as a performer, always put on great matches.

 

[Sexy]

Shane was a great performer.

lets not forget in 09 when he was 1 on 3 supermaning Legacy we all hated him.

That was horrible.

 

[Razgriz]

When he showed up you knew that eventually it would amount to him doing some crazy spots

Hated him at times, but still respected him to be doing things that only Jeff friggen Hardy had the balls to be doing. Guy was insane.

 

[Brampton_Boy]

I remember watching that on TV and thinking: "He dead".

Does he still actively participate as part of the story line?

 

[Razgriz]

From what I've been reading it seems that he's been out and away from wrestling for 5 years now

 

[Drake]

He was a great character. Underrated.

Definitely. Shane was awesome.

Just read this on his wiki page:

On October 21, 2006, Pride Fighting Championships held Pride 32 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada. Shane was in attendance at the event, resulting in speculation that WWE could be considering promoting MMA events. On November 17, WWE and Dream Stage Entertainment officials, the parent company of Pride Fighting Championships, had a meeting at WWE global headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The meeting focused on the possibility of the two groups doing some form of business together in the future. Yet on March 27, 2007, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, president of DSE, announced that Station Casinos, Inc. magnate Lorenzo Fertitta, also one of the co-owners of Zuffa, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, had made a deal to acquire all the assets of Pride FC from DSE after Pride 34 in a deal worth about USD 70 million. Therefore, the deal between DSE and WWE has reportedly been called off.

WWE and Pride may have co-promoted and who knows Brock may have fought Fedor in a Pride ring if things went differently.
