5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Nov 9)
5. Shane McMahon Is The Best In The World
In one notable respect, Shane McMahon is the worst professional wrestler in the world.
The worked punch should look painful, yet inflict no pain on the performer receiving it. Shane's worked punches look horrendous, and yet, when they don't miss by miles, they inflict pain. Shane McMahon has potatoes where his fists should be, and sweat where his skin should be. Yes, Shane McMahon can pull off a very good Coast To Coast, but he isn't the best wrestler in the world. He's barely even a wrestler.
At Crown Jewel, Shane McMahon won the World Cup to determine the best in the world.
This was priceless trolling, and while the whole thing is clearly leading to a heel turn of sorts, it doesn't detract from the idea that weeks' worth of television and eight full-time members of the roster were used as mere pretext to build a 48 year-old part-time wrestler as a top heel. Rey Mysterio is back! Let's write him off with an injury angle to make way for the f*cking money. Rey Mysterio can fly, can he?
Well, pal, the product of my semen can fly from one side of the ring to the other!
Say WWE books Daniel Bryan Vs. Shane McMahon for WrestleMania 35. It will be a good match, but is it really a good idea? Is it a good idea to pit a guy who throws a more errant worked punch than the actually blind Stan Hansen against a man prone to the odd concussion?
