10 Most Unforgettable Wrestling Spots Of 2023 (So Far)
5. Shane's Still Got It... And It's Gone
Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions, eh.
A day after Pat McAfee surprisingly showed up to whoop The Miz's ass at 'Mania 39 Night One, the surreal return of Royal Rumble 2022 troublemaker Shane McMahon very much divided the fan base.
Making an already pretty strange 'Mania Moment an absolutely unforgettable one in the blink of an eye, though, the early stages of Shane O'Mac's first singles match since WrestleMania 37 brought with it one of the most perfectly timed calls of all time.
A couple of trademark rights and lefts in the corner were swiftly followed by a leapfrog attempt from the comeback kid. And right when Shane touched back down to earth, awkwardly tearing his quad as he did, an excitable Michael Cole cried out "Shane's still got it!"
This is cinema.
It's never fun watching anyone get seriously hurt in-between the ropes, it must be said, and Shane was quickly attended to and escorted out of the squared-circle after the unfortunately botched spot. But it was that rather humiliating turn of events that set the stage for the even crazier sight of Snoop Dogg improvising the company out of trouble with his own 'People's Elbow' on 'The Awesome One'.
