Damaramu 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Ok this is the 3rd topic we've had on it. And everyone said "Wait until there match...." well Shane-O-Mac defenders....PLEASE DEFEND THAT PIECE OF SHIT NOW! Ok so here we go....Shane vs. Kane. What did Shane do? Of course he put himself over! Did he put Kane over as a monster in any way shape or form? Hell no. He went toe to toe with Kane and had him down good a lot. Then in the end did Kane beat Shane? NO Shane beat Shane. It wasn't because of something that Kane did that beat Shane...it was Shane's own stupidity. Kane leaves this match worse than he went in and Shane is put over big again.....so please...how is he the good McMahon again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 I agree, I hated that finish, because Kane didn't actually do anything to beat Shane, it was just his own stupidity (or amazing bravery!) It was an intense brawl but I think the better ending would be a simple Kane chokeslam through the gimmicked stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 I whole heartedly fuckin agree, as i just posted my thought son another thread. I pissed me off so much that Kane didnt BEAT Shane, he won the match but he needed Shane to beat himself. Then after the match he just leaves quickly as all the attention is put right back on Shane. That bothered me more than anything else tonight and it's pathetic how self serving all of the McMahons are,. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted September 22, 2003 The only explanation can be that Shane is a better wrestler than Kane. After the "coast to coast" or whatever silly name they gave to the move, Kane was out for AGES. The only thing that stopped him from losing the match was the referee bump. Anything after that point is meaningless, because in storyline terms, Shane should have won the match then. So Shane is the better wrestler.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Oh come on guys! He jumps off of high stuff! So it's okay if he puts himself over the talent! But yes, seriously, I just sat there wondering who the fuck Kane spit on in the back because that was just horribly booked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Yeah, Kane disappeared after the match, and the whole focus was on Shane's injuries. If they had to do it like that, then Kane should have been standing over him laughing, or something. Nik, who wouldn't have needed a stretcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Not sure if this was mentioned in the PPV thread, but can somebody explain to me why when Shane took all that time to climb up the scaffolding, why wasn't the referee counting Kane out? He was "out cold" and flat on his back for an eternity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enigma 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 It's common knowledge that Shane doesn't want to be on TV and that he has no power whatsoever on what goes on TV. It's all Vince and Steph's thing, since they are the creative heads. So get off Shane's fucking nuts already. It's not his call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh please, it's painfully obvious that like the rest of his family he loves the spotlight and goes through every step to make himself out to be a superhero, and show up all the "wrestlers" with his big gimmicked bumps. With the addition of his soon to be brother in law to the family don't think he isn't looking to leverage for all the power he can get, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So he HAD to come back and feud with Kane or else he would be out of the family will....So he did this angle and looked so strong AGAINST his will huh.....Wake the hell up would you.

Guest ToddRoyal Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Well, not Marissa, barring that stint as Livewire host and the episode of Stern. Thing is, she's the attractive one, and actually wasn't a bad host. Good thing we have 4 untalented egomaniacs to make-up for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 I've got the perfect anti-Shane story for ya. So my friend went over to watch RAW over at the house of one of his wife's friends...and the guy he was watching it with wasn't a smark at all. He knows its not real...but that's about as far as it goes. So anyway, they're watching RAW the week after Shane came down and fought with Kane and he turns to my friend and said: "That Kane has been unstoppable... ...Until that Shane came back. He really whooped him." Rested point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Shane's evil. Just like the whole family. It's just a matter of time before Linda Mcmahon comes back and pins Brock clean. I think Shane has the idea that if he does this stuff enough, the boys in the back will consider him a real wrestler and not just suck up to him because he's a Mcmahon (the only reason they suck up to him). The problem with that is that he takes tv time away from struggling wrestlers and puts it on himself. He doesn't have to worry about a job, they do. And that's why he'll never be considered an actual wrestler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Explain why Shane stayed out of TV storylines for 21 months then? That doesn't sound to me like someone with an ego problem. After the WCW/ECW Alliance angle was killed, Shane was not in any significant storylines for almost 2 years while Stephanie returned after 2 months. Some ego he has.

After the WCW/ECW Alliance angle was killed, Shane was not in any significant storylines for almost 2 years while Stephanie returned after 2 months. Some ego he has. You answered you own question earlier. Stephanie is the head writer, it's much easier to write herself into the shows. Plus soon to be hubby HHH is basically in a struggle for heir to the throne. Also mentioned was that Shane realizes the way he keeps his "legend" is huge bumps and giant slaying. He's smart enough to know that gets old if not done with breaks in between.

Styles 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2003 Getting beat by Kane. What a giant slayer. But Kane never actually beat him! He was so brave and mighty that he climbed high into the heavens for a death defying display (or maybe it was a tasteful tribute to Owen Hart, who knows), but alas the monster moved. If only Shane hadn't been so brave and fearless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
