10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Changed Everything
7. Shane McMahon's Dive Sets Bar For WrestleMania Spots
Everyone and their mothers knew that Shane McMahon was going to do something extraordinary as he fought for the McMahon legacy, against The Undertaker and inside Hell in a Cell.
They were certain that there would be some sort of spectacular bump either from the side of the steel structure or from the roof but few could have imagined that the prodigal son would voluntarily launch himself off the side of the cell and toward his opponent as he laid on an announce table over a dozen feet below.
Shane's incredibly leap of faith, and bone-crushing crash landing, is the stuff of WrestleMania legend. It is exactly the type of impression fans expect the key performers to make on the grandest stage in pro wrestling. Say what you will about the rest of the match (it sucked), but that one spot will be replayed in video packages for years to come and etched in the minds of every fan who screamed, "no, don't do it" as he made the sign of the cross and stepped over the edge.
For the longest time, Edge's spear from the top of a ladder to Jeff Hardy during WrestleMania X-7's TLC II was the shining example of a death-defying stunt pulled out strictly for the grandest stage in the industry.
It took 15 years but Sunday night, McMahon eclipsed it with a stunt that may never be outdone.
