10 Most Ridiculous WWE WrestleMania Entrances
10. Shane McMahon: WrestleMania 32
Not altogether ridiculous, on the face of it—it’s not as if Shane McMahon busted out the ultimate rich kid halloween costume, or anything—a certain subtext rare to ‘Mania’s on-the-nose occasion cements this entrance as worthy of inclusion.
Four excitable children—Shane and his three offspring—descended on the Dallas stage. It made sense thematically; Shane had entered this match as a result of his father’s sadism, and the entrance effectively framed him as Vince’s babyface contrast. Hitting a rare note of sweetness—it really was nice of Shane to create a lasting, amazing memory for his kids—this display of father/son bonding became harrowing in retrospect.
A deluge of dollar bill confetti rained from the sky. “It’s OK,” the kids thought. “It doesn’t matter that Daddy has just wasted a big chunk of our inheritance. We care more about him than our future.”
Shane paused on the ramp, gathering his kids for a huddle. “That’s not strictly true. 'We' might not have a future. See that terrifying Cell up there? To defeat this demonic legend, I’m going to have to risk my life and jump off it.”
“Can’t you just go punch for punch with the best pure striker in all of WWE?”
“Of course I can. And I will. But I need the pop, you see.”
“But what if you die, Daddy?”
“Then I shall die a tough guy!”
