10 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Do Their Own Moves
6. Shane McMahon's Punches
Shane McMahon is about the furthest you can get from technical wrestling. Even in his younger years, jumping into his Dad's ring to play alongside all those pro athletes, nobody ever pretended that he was more than a glorified stuntman.
And he was great at this, so it distracted crowds for some time from his God awful fundamentals. Since his return in 2016 though, McMahon has been the subject of mockery for what are surely the world's worst worked punches.
No wonder he's not much of a wrestler if he can't even make a punch look good. As a passionate fan of MMA, and trained in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Shane leans too far into wanting to look "realistic". His swift and incredibly short movements are all clearly inspired by boxing jabs. However, this is just not how things are done in wrestling.
Full arm extension and thrust are the name of the game, and Shane displays neither.
It's hard enough to take the boss' jumpy upstart son seriously as a legitimate fighter in his own right but it's the seriousness with which Shane seems to present himself. He probably whispers sweet-nothings to that "Best Wrestler in the World" trophy every night.
