Ever wanted to see 'Boy Wonder' Shane McMahon turn into the WWF's very own Rob Van Dam? WrestleMania X-Seven also had you covered there. Shane lived out the bizarre reality of hitting a Van Terminator on his own father in front of millions watching in-dome and at home. The only difference here is that McMahon called his RVD special the "Coast To Coast".

Cool name, even cooler spot.

Vince had a trash can wedged between his chin and his torso for some protection - if you can even call it that. In truth, Shane refused to hold back when leaping from one corner to the other and hitting a dropkick so impactful on daddy dearest that Vince would still be flying through the air had he not been resting against the turnbuckles. The trash can turned to dust, Shane was lucky not to smash his head on the mat and suffer a concussion, people went absolutely wild, and RVD looked on wondering if he'd get to do some more of that now ECW was toast.

Shane has performed many special bumps throughout his several runs as a WWE talent. Some are more memorable (SummerSlam 2000, for example), but they didn't happen at 'Mania. Others that came close, like his Hell In A Cell bout vs. The Undertaker in 2016, failed to bag a spot on this list. His fall at 'Mania 32 looked good, but it's not his finest hour on the grand stage.

X-Seven, complete with all the family drama and in-fighting, gets the nod instead. There's plenty of 'Taker here anyway!
