As in, "literally clinically diagnosable insane!"

Shane McMahon could make a stab at the presidency, he thinks that much of himself. That's probably the next unfathomable stage of his megalomania, come to think of it. This is a man who thinks himself so tough that he booked himself to out-strike Matt Riddle at the Royal Rumble and would have willingly presented himself as Brock Lesnar's equal, had his father (!) not intervened.

Shane might think he and Lesnar are one and the same because they're both sweat-drenched sentient beetroots. That's the only thing they have in common; Brock Lesnar is a legitimate combat athlete and Shane McMahon is a jumped-up little twerp with narcissistic personality disorder.

Where does Shane get off (other than lost in the fantasy of his sister's "cute" "puppies")?

He can't even aim his weak-looking punches!

Despite appearing to suffer from a severe respiratory illness whenever he steps foot in the ring, Shane responded to Lesnar's alpha male flex by squaring up to him. At least Chris Jericho once took down Goldberg.

Shane McMahon couldn't take down a Christmas decoration unless a bouncy castle was positioned underneath the tree to make him look hard.
