8 Times Shane McMahon Showed Up In WWE Just In Time To Make Things Worse
5. Getting His ‘Little Mac’ Fried By Kane – 2003
The handful of times Shane McMahon and Kane crossed paths during the Attitude Era led to some rather entertaining exchanges, most of which saw the young millionaire pull off some rather athletic stunts while trying to evade ‘The Big Red Machine.’ However, that’s not quite what fans saw when the two men feuded in 2003.
Around this time, Kane lost his mask during a match with Triple H and began on a new ostensibly destructive path as a horror b-movie villain. A super-destructive Kane and a very Shane McMahon Shane McMahon had potential, but somehow WWE still managed to miss the mark.
Rather than get an ultra-terrifying version of Kane, fans witnessed him suffer through ridiculously corny segments as he tormented his foe. He could have simply stalked out his opponent or at least threatened McMahon. Instead, creative decided ‘The Big Red Machine’ looked much more terrifying by making his enemies endure a rather embarrassing version of torment.
In McMahon's case, Kane shackled him to the ring post and electrocuted his testicles.
Yes, you read that correctly. For anyone out of the loop or perhaps not even alive during the early 2000s, the future mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee once bonded Shane O’Mac to a ring post and fried his genitals, which had McMahon genius written all over it. Funny how this sort of thing never comes up during highlights of Glenn Jacobs' in-ring career. It also would have made for a great campaign image.
