10 Times Wrestlers Busted Out Moves You'd NEVER Expect
1. Shane McMahon Busts Out A Corkscrew Plancha
If you want to be pedantic about it, and it's very, very easy, Shane McMahon undid the very concept of what a pro wrestler is by working a competitive back-and-forth with AJ Styles, at WrestleMania 33, in a match that made no sense despite its immense critical acclaim.
Where did Shane learn all those counters? Shouldn't that take years of experience? He made it seem like a game, and it effectively was to him; something he was entitled to do at his convenience.
If Nick Jackson worked a 20 minute British chain match it would scan as odd, so why did Shane get away with it?
He only did for a while. His return run was a disgrace, and fans eventually caught up to that. His heel turn was so overdue that he generated go-away heat when it actually happened.
It was an elongated nostalgia run and, in fairness, for good reason: Shane was very good in the Attitude Era because he worked from a far more logical character perspective, whether he was being an opportunistic, jumped-up little sh*t against X-Pac or taking a "f*cking beating" from Kurt Angle.
And, at SummerSlam 1999, he busted out a quite insane corkscrew plancha against Test - and missed, to convey the sensible idea that he was a hubristic squirt lost without the help of the Mean Street Posse.
