5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (April 12)

5. Shane McMahon: For F*ck's Sake

We were so close to giving Shane McMahon his due following WrestleMania 34.

Though his lengthy in-ring stint did deflate the Superdome crowd somewhat, this was an absurdly professional performance that McMahon felt duty-bound to enter in order to pay off a storyline spanning half a year. The thought of missing 'Mania must have eaten away at him, but that could have been the diverticulitis. His work looked worse than usual, offering at least some unintentional hilarity, but the spot in which he used the ropes to crawl towards partner Daniel Bryan was novel and psychologically sound. Moreover, we were at least spared the idea of Shane McMahon in the hot-tag spot, as if he was stronger than and needed to save arguably the best technical wrestler of all time.

Rumours swirled that, following the main event, an enraged Brock Lesnar threw the Universal Championship at Vince McMahon in gorilla at the height of a heated confrontation. On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer provided hilarious additional details. One man was not happy about Brock's attitude, and decided to square up to him: Shane McMahon.

Jesus Christ. The thought of Shane being so full of himself to think confronting Lesnar was a believable prospect is astonishing. He'd have fared just as well standing in front of a moving train. It's an infuriating story. The man who has made a career performing brave but carefully coordinated stunts onto inflatables deemed himself tough enough to go toe-to-toe with one of the most documented, decorated and dangerous men on the planet.

The only thing harder than Shane McMahon is the hard-on he has for himself.
