6. Vs. Kane - Unforgiven 2003
This match took place not longer after Kane unmasked for the first time and went on a reign of absolute terror, targeting everyone in the company with his frenzied violence. He even set his sights on poor old Linda McMahon, dropping her on the Raw stage with a Tombstone piledriver. Naturally, Shane was furious and intent on downing the monster, which led to him getting his testicles electrocuted. Again, if you're new to professional wrestling, there is no need to read that sentence twice. The two had a Last Man Standing match which could be seen as the final act in Shane's career as a glorified stuntman. It was 2003 and audiences around the world had grown a little weary of Shane falling from/off of high things. The plus side is that by this point years of working with some of the greatest performers around had really paid off, and Shane was beginning to be able to put together decent matches too. Hell, Shane even went on the road in the summer of '03, doing his best to stay in decent ring shape and improve as a performer. He still had a couple of big bumps left in him and busted out the trademark Shane-O Mac fall from the very hight place, meaning that Kane come out of their scrap the victor.
