5. Two Chairshots

Miz hit Shane McMahon squarely with two chairshots to the back Monday night.

Shane shrugged them off and slugged Miz back, brawled with him and got away by kicking him low once. And then Shane dove into his limo and sped off, escaping his Money in the Bank opponent.

But let’s repeat: Shane shrugged off two chairshots like they were love taps. If any other wrestler no-sold that in the ring from someone like JBL, he would have tortured the poor soul, and deservedly so. You can say McMahon is tough every week. You can have him dive through tables, off cages and onto opponents, but that’s just ridiculous.

There’s no way Shane should be brushing off chairshots and then felling his opponent with one kick, even if it was to the groin. But hey, gotta keep the McMahons strong!
