Shane McMahon (General Discussion & WM32 Match Discussion)

[Emperoreddy]

I don't see a fall that insane, but Mania stadium sets are much different builds then normal sets so they could hide something kind of protection somehow.

I don't think he will be taking any kind of insane fall. There are other kinds of brutal spots that are "safer" and I imagine we shall see some blood. Half way up the cage into a table though. That I see happening. Chokeslam or last ride through a table is possible too. Dude is going to take some punishment, and obviously Taker is fine with doing the same if we go by the Brock/Taker HIAC.

I just don't see them booking this match without them planning on making it some kind of overbooked spot fest. Maybe not 30 feet fall time of crazy, but there will be spots.

I think Coast to Coast and the Elbow drop onto the announce table will more than suffice when you account for all the inevitable run-ins that will be done in this match. I would expect a lot of rest holds though. I don't think Shane is in any better shape than his last go-around.

Rest holds in a Hell in a Cell? No chance. They'll do some crazy **** and lay around for a minute or two to take a rest if they need it.

On the subject of Shane taking an idiotic fall, they can gimmick the ring.

Inb4 chokeslam through the top of the cell breaking the ring down.

He's getting in shape. It's not like he's some fat slob. He's got what? 5 weeks now to get into shape? Plenty of time to be in decent shape.

I'm sure we can expect at least one high spot, or else they wouldn't be doing this.

They still have to build to that stuff. They're not just going to go balls-out from the ring of the bell.

It doesn't really matter if he spends five straight weeks in the gym. Doing a match is a lot different than anything he can really do to prepare physically for it. His last match five years ago, he was blown up pretty early.

They had Ambrose and Rollins fall off about 3/4th from the top of the cell through an announce table with no padding at all. Thinking shane won't do it because of age is pointless.

They also wouldn't be having a hell in a cell match at mania for "just another wrestling match' the entire PPV is labeled around making once in a lifetime moments.

And considering vince is fine with dropping F bombs on PG TV and allowing blood capsules, people thinking they wouldn't let shane do it are kidding themselves.

Plus there was a report that WWE was going edgy throughout the WM run anyway.

Seth Rollins is going to curb stomp Shane through the top of the cell.

IMO WWE has a lot of work to do to sell this match to me. If it makes sense, I'm on board as I just read Shane has been training 3x a day since last summer to prepare. In addition, he was doing some martial arts, too, I guess.

If Shane's body is ready to go, then WWE has to make me understand why this match would happen. The unstoppable Taker at Wrestlemania should not be in this match. Let's see where it goes.

He's doing Muay Thai.
It makes perfect sense if you wanna look at it as black and white.
The crowd favorite face comes in to restore the company to good standards and the heel has put infront of him the most legendary opponent that you could have at wrestlemania to stop said face.

That was the exact scenario I proposed...

^This as well.

People are really getting their hopes up. I don't think Shane will do anything more extreme than falling off the cell maybe 3/4 way up through the announce table (like Rollins/Ambrose) - either being yanked off or doing his elbow drop.

The most "Shane" thing we'll see is that he'll probably bust out the Coast to Coast.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

I'm not talking about shane repeating their drop, that would be just copying and stupid. I'm talking about straight from the top.

Besides, if you think shane climbing on top of the cage is nuts, can you imagine taker climbing it near the top? Shane is at least still very mobile. Taker not so much.

 

[Paris in Flames]

WWE actually had to talk to Rollins and Ambrose ahead of time and talk them out of doing anything TOO crazy so really....the fall they did might be the max the company will allow these days.

Obviously as a McMahon he might get a bit more freedom if he really wanted but he's certainly not in Seth/Dean shape.

It is Shane and Taker. They can go into business for themselves and what is Vince really going to do about it?

What they actually do is a completely different question but I have to imagine they will do what they can to make this entertaining.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Shane was on the Michael Kay show and they asked him if he was jumping off the Jerry-Tron.

"That's impressive. I don't know, I have no idea. There are some limitations. (There's only so much) that the human body can take. That's interesting. Well, I'll be locked inside a Cell, a big 25-foot high structure all the way around the ring, so getting out is difficult. Sometimes things... you never know what's going to happen in WWE."

Obvious work, but I guess you never know.

Edit: Also WWE.com released this top 10 for Shane AKA need to remind people he is ****ing insane.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

In other words, he's saying don't rule anything out.

Also, what i wouldn't give to be in that crowd for the leap of faith....Absolutely nuts.

FYI the Jerry-Tron is suspended some 90+ feet from the field with no access. Either he starts up there or the set is on a raised platform allowing the cage to somehow be close enough to reach the stupid thing.

Plus I'm not sure someone could survive a leap of faith from that height.

I think the take away is don't rule out Shane doing something he most likely shouldn't be doing

I don't see them gimmick the ring unless this match is the final match, and I don't see that being the case either.

 

[Marv4Life]

Then Trips will find himself in the same spot as 18 and 25. Underwhelming main event with no one giving a crap, looking like a doofus. Unless there's a HUGE swerve he can't close the show with Reigns. Not with the potential craziness of Shane/Taker.

They can always change the canvas during a video package or Hall of Fame recap.

 

[Cor]

What if Titus' suspension is a work?

What if he helps Shane screw Vince, Steph and HHH?

Saw a YT video on it, and it's interesting.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

No one cares about Titus O'Neil. Why can't people put this to rest?

 

[ColePens]

The disappointment would not be able to be expressed in words. Things that are wrong with it --

1) You used a legit retirement to start a potential feud? That would be pretty lame.

2) As MCG said, nobody cares about Titus.

3) The little people DO like about Titus is how much work he does in a community. They could cash-in on that instead of the idiotic push.

4) Taker/Shane/Vince would all be used to get... wait for it... TITUS over. It would fail miserably.

5) It's Wrestlemania and it would be a huge headshaker at the biggest event ever.

This is more humorous than anything but Monsoon Classic on YouTube who has a HUGE channel of classic stuff....he loves Titus and is begging for a Titus vs Brock match.

I like his channel so much I want that to happen for his sake.
