-> ''"Wrestling/TerryFunk once said that Wrestling/VinceMcMahon is the most hardcore man in the business, because he had the financial protection of having all of the money [[AwesomeDearBoy and yet still felt the need to do some crazy spots]] unlike wrestlers who did it because they had to. With all due respect to the Funkster (who I love by proxy, as he is a hero to my boy Mick Foley), I humbly submit that [[ItRunsInTheFamily Vince's son is even crazier than him]]. That's because Shane [=McMahon=] wasn't a standard wrestler whenever he got into the ring: It would appear Shane-O-Mac [[{{Acrofatic}} wanted to be a high-flying luchador in another life]]. Not only did Shane stuff his arsenal with a multitude of aerial assault-based moves, he also looked money while he did it. [[HolyShitQuotient He makes a coast-to-coast missile dropkick look easy. He was willing to take a superplex off of a ladder onto a multitude of tables courtesy of Mr. Wrestlemania, Shawn Michaels himself.]] My only question is… WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Why did he feel the need to do that? Any of that? [[UnskilledButStrong He wasn't trained as a wrestler, so his body wasn't nearly as deadened to the sensation of aerial moves that regular guys might be.]] If he made a mistake and lost his life as a result, that would be a catastrophe not seen since the death of Wrestling/OwenHart. The son of the boss being let to play around with the big boys, and an accident happening.\\

Here's the thing: Shane is the only McMahon (with the possible exception of Linda, I think) [[EnsembleDarkhorse that the IWC almost universally loves]]. We would have loved him if the only thing he'd given us was [[Awesome/KingOfTheRing that match with Kurt Angle]]. Or one coast to coast dropkick. And the wrestlers would have respected him forever if all he'd done was one of the things he ended up doing. (Reports are [[HeartwarmingMoments/WWE he was given a standing ovation after the match with Angle]]. You know the one.) Instead, here was a millionaire kid who could have lived the rest of his life with a silver spoon in his mouth, but instead decided to [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething go out and show that he was gonna earn at least a small part of the massive fortune bequeathed to him]]. It was all completely needless, and he did it anyway. You know what? I'm starting to see why he wanted to [[StartMyOwn leave WWE to try his luck with his own fortune]]: [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat when you survive half the shit that he's put himself through]], [[NighInvulnerability you start feeling like you're damn-near invincible]]. And when it comes to Shane McMahon, I believe that he is, wholeheartedly."''

--> '''Shane:''' ''You know, you just... you had to do it, didn't ya? This is the straw that broke the camel's back, and that's why I'm back here. The "Vincent J. [=McMahon=] Legacy Of Excellence" award. Phenomenal idea! Amazing! And should be bestowed upon someone who's a worthy recipient.'' [To Stephanie] ''And that's not you.'' (*Pop*) ''Hello, Stephanie. I'm sorry, but it's not.'' (Stephanie looks astonished)\\

'''Shane:''' ''It's all true. You know what it was, Stephanie? At the time it was... [[PhraseCatcher best for business!]] Let me hold the ropes for you! Bye-bye!''\\

'''Shane:''' All due respect. You haven't earned it.''\\
'''Stephanie:''' What would you know about earning every-anything, Shane? You haven't even been here in the past six or seven years! Is real convenient to watch from home and say what you would do with business, okay? Let me tell you something, my husband and I have been sucessfully running a billion-dollar business with our blood, sweat and tears, whether this people appreciated or not!''\\
'''Shane:''' Before I address that... sh-sh... she doesn't know, does she?'' [[{{Beat}} (*beat*)]] ''Ohohohoh... you don't know! You don't know, huh? Well, let me tell you this, Stephanie. Uhm, was just saying, you and your husband, Wrestling/TripleH, have been really running this company into the ground.'' (*Pop*) ''Let's take a few indicators: let's look at the stock, let's look at ratings, let's look at the plethora of talent injuries, all under your watch, under your auspices, down into the ground! [[SarcasmMode Great job!]]''\\

(Shane places his arm on Vince's shoulder. Crowd: [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Yes! Yes! Yes!...]])
