History Wrestling / ShaneMcMahon

* BigBrotherInstinct: Once protected Steph from Wrestling/RandyOrton's Punt Kick by [[TakingTheBullet taking it]] with his back.

* FamilyBusiness: Till he left for UFC

* GeniusBruiser

* ItRunsInTheFamily
* {{Keet}}: Especially in his younger days. There were [[JimRoss many]], [[ShawnMichaels many]] [[DGenerationX jokes]] made about Shane needing to switch to decaf.

* MoneySong

* WrestlingFamily
* YouLookFamiliar: The first performer to walk out at WrestleMania VI, he was a ring announcer and later showed up as a referee ''way'' before he was ever acknowledged as Vince [=McMahon=]]]'s son.

* ActionSurvivor

* FamilyBusiness

* ChewingTheScenery: He was the one giving the HongKongDub to [[TAKAMichinoku Taka Michinoku's]] famous Kaientai promos

* ChewingTheScenery: He was the one giving the HongKongDub to Taka Michinoku's famous Kaientai promos

** It started at the end of the [=InVasion=] storyline, where he calmly signed over his share in WWE to Wrestling/RicFlair (instead of [[FreakOut throwing a temper tantrum like]] [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Stephanie]].
** Particularly pronounced during Vince's religion-based SanitySlippage against Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, where he started fancying himself as [[AGodAmI a counterpart to]] [[{{God}} the Almighty Himself]], they had a segment in church where Shane was privy to his father's insane ramblings. Vince had Shane read a modified version of the Lord's Prayer, complete with excerpts about Vince's "omnipotent semen"; Shane stopped mid-reading because it was getting... weird. Later, Vince got on the podium and [[TemptingFate challenged God to strike him down where he stood]]. Shane slowly stepped away from him, not wanting to get caught in case of actual lightning.
** Then the next week, Vince started a promo by stating that Shane had asked him if he was going to hell. He would end up introducing [[ParodyReligion McMahonism]] to the world.

* TheStarscream: His WhamLine kick-start to the [=InVasion=] storyline, revealing he'd bought Wrestling/{{WCW}} right out from under his father.

* DeathFromAbove: Shane probably could've been a great cruiserweight in another life. From elbow drops off the top rope onto the announcer's table, to [[UpToEleven coast-to-coast missile dropkicks [[ItMakesSenseInContext right into his daddy Vince's face,]]]] to [[{{HSQ}} an elbow drop off the top of the titantron.]]

** Subverted in that the moment he crossed the MoralEventHorizon during the AttitudeEra was when he told his mother to shut her mouth. Don't worry, [[ThreeMonthRule they soon made up]] and he was back to being protective of her.

* HotDad
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: Pretty standard in Shane matches. His Street Fight with KurtAngle in 2001 was a ''double'' HowMuchMoreCanHeTake, considering the spots with the glass.

!!'''Tropes associated with Shane [=McMahon=]:'''

* GroinAttack: One of his more infamous WWE moments involved a rather unfortunate encounter with Wrestler/{{Kane}}, a car battery, and a set of jumper cables.

* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Before his final confrontation with Wrestler/{{Kane}} at ''Survivor Series 2003'', he invited Kane to a fancy restaurant so that they could issue their final threats over dinner.

* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Harming Linda is his biggest BerserkButton.

*** It was actually subverted with that first example, as it was later revealed that Shane was actually still TheDragon to Vince the whole time, as Vince was the Higher Power that masterminded the whole plot to kidnap Stephanie just to show StoneColdSteveAustin how far he was willing to go to screw with him.

* FinishingMove: Both of his involve [[IHaveTheHighGround jumping from high places]]. The Van Terminator was hijacked from RobVanDam and modified with a trash can instead of a chair, and the Leap of Faith involves the complete destruction of the SpanishAnnouncersTable.

'''Shane Brandon [=McMahon=]''' is the eldest of VinceMcMahon's children, and like his sister, [[StephanieMcMahon Stephanie]], has been heavily involved with ProfessionalWrestling ever since young adulthood. He spent over twenty years with Wrestling/{{WWE}}, working his way up from ring crew to referee to wrestler to GM-figure. He is one of the only ''fourth-generation'' wrestlers, and was the former head of Global Media for WWE before leaving in early 2010 to become the CEO of an Asian internet company.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: In his early [[TheCorporation Corporation]] days, he was a carbon-copy of Vince.

* PowerStable: TheCorporation, and the [[VillainTeamUp Corporate]] [[MinistryOfDarkness Ministry]]

* TheStarscream: His WhamLine kick-start to the [=InVasion=] storyline, revealing he'd bought {{WCW}} right out from under his father.
** Subverted during the Higher Power storyline, when it seemed at first that Shane had turned against Vince to join forces with TheUndertaker, only for it to be revealed that Vince was the Greater Power giving them orders and it was all part of his plan.

* YouLookFamiliar: The first performer to walk out at WrestleMania VI, he was a ring announcer and later showed up as a referee ''way'' before he was ever acknowledged as Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's son.

* SpanishAnnouncersTable: His elbow-drop from the top turnbuckle onto a prone Wrestler/{{Test}} on the table has become synonymous with the SpanishAnnouncersTable bump, and one of the most infamous examples.

* TheCameo: Has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part in the 2002 film ''Rollerball''. He's the CEO PaulHeyman's character says hello to when coming into the arena for the first time.

* OnlySaneMan: As a face, usually toward Vince. Taken to [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious]], ScrewThisImOuttaHere extremes during the [[HumiliationConga "McMahon Family Portrait"]], where Shane simply bailed rather than witness any more of what was going on.

* FoeYay: Staggering amounts with KurtAngle and RandyOrton.

* [[GirlPosse Guy Posse]]: The Mean Street Posse. They'd wanted Shane to have an entourage for his feud with Wrestler/{{Test}} and were going to use some indy wrestlers. Shane convinced the bookers that his ''actual'' high-school best friends could be more annoying than anyone they cast. He was right.

* HoYay: With BookerT during the Alliance storyline, and RobVanDam in 2003.
