3. Shane McMahon

For some unexplained reason, Shane McMahon is often WWE's go-to answer. Presumably, the question is: "what's the most asinine thing we can do?"

Need somebody to face off with The Undertaker to boost interest in a humdrum WrestleMania card blighted by a self-indulgent main event? Call Shane McMahon.

Struggling to come up with ideas for who can carry that greenhorn AJ Styles? Shane O'Mac.

Need an out for a poorly conceived World Cup tournament which threatens to blight any regular superstar through the taint of association? You guessed it.

Want to uphold the rapidly fading tradition of splenetic Royal Rumble endings after ruining it with two feel-good winners last year? That's gotta be... that's gotta be Shane!

Hey, he is the 'Best in the World'. Might as well play up to it.

Probability: Realistically unlikely, so therefore depressingly likely.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
