History Wrestling / ShaneMcMahon

** Taken to its absolute with his performance at Wrestling/WrestleMania 32: Jumping from top of the [[GimmickMatches Hell in A Cell]] cage - 20 feet! He missed his mark though, but goes to show how ballsy he can get. This is five feet higher than the one that almost killed Wrestling/MickFoley and Shane was 13 years older when he did it.

* StuffedIntoATrashcan: In a fit of {{genre blind}}ness, thought he had finished off Kane after kicking him into a dumpster that was lit on fire.

* NiceShoes: An avid sneakerhead in real life, Shane often takes the time to wear some of his favorite kicks when in public.

* DeathFromAbove: Shane probably could've been a great cruiserweight in another life (in reality, he's a fairly big guy that likely wouldn't make weight) From elbow drops off the top rope onto the announcer's table, to [[UpToEleven coast-to-coast missile dropkicks]] to an elbow drop off the top of the Titantron.

* BadassFamily: The [=McMahons=].

* FinishingMove: Both of his involve [[IHaveTheHighGround jumping from high places]]: The Coast to Coast, a missile dropkick from the top turnbuckle in one corner to an opponent in a neighboring corner (generally done by kicking a trash can in front of them), and the Leap of Faith, a diving elbow from any high place.

* IHaveTheHighGround: From a simple turnbuckle to the top of the Titantron, jumping from high places is Shane's trademark.

* DanceBattler: One of his signature taunts - which he freely admits he stole from Muhammad Ali - is dancing and weaving from side to side, swinging his arms, and then punching whoever he's fighting in the face. The dance, which he does during his entrance as well, has been dubbed [[FanNickname "The Shane-O Shuffle"]].

* {{Hypocrite}}: He reprimanded ''[=SmackDown=]'' general Daniel Bryan for [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "speaking his piece" ]] toward The Miz and then advising him to apologize to the latter. Daniel Bryan agreed, not before calling out Shane on this trope.

Shane Brandon [=McMahon=] (born January 15, 1970) is the eldest of Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's children, and like his sister Wrestling/{{Stephanie|McMahon}}, has been heavily involved with ProfessionalWrestling ever since young adulthood. He has spent over twenty years with Wrestling/{{WWE}}, working his way up from ring crew to referee to commentator to wrestler to GM-figure.

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: His tirade with Wrestling/TheUndertaker, calling him as [[spoiler:Vince's bitch]].
** And during their match at ''[=WrestleMania=] 32'', Shane routinely did a BringIt taunt, most notably two times ''after'' jumping off the cell and crashing onto the announcers table.

* IHaveTheHighGround: Ranging from a simple turnbuckle to the top of the big-ass screen used as WWE's set, the Titantron. Jumping off high places is Shane's trademark.

[[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} That Other Wiki]] has an article about his life and career [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_McMahon here]].

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

* OverlordJr: In-character.

* DeathFromAbove: Shane probably could've been a great cruiserweight in another life (in reality, he's a fairly big guy that likely wouldn't make weight) From elbow drops off the top rope onto the announcer's table, to [[UpToEleven coast-to-coast missile dropkicks]] to [[{{HSQ}} an elbow drop off the top of the Titantron.]]

** After his [[HolyShitQuotient unbelievable]] [[DeathFromAbove plunge from the top of the Hell Cell]] onto Wrestling/TheUndertaker (sadly just missing him) he continued to tell the stunned Undertaker to BringIt even when he was ''obviously'' completely done. Undertaker lightly patted Shane on the cheek before planting him with the Tombstone to end the match.

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 as well as part of the Board of Directors of a sports management firm. In 2016 he returned to the company and the spotlight, initially being put in charge of Wrestling/WWERaw together with Stephanie, before Vince decided to split the brands, leaving Stephanie in charge of Raw and putting Shane in command of Wrestling/WWESmackDown.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: While he's still generally well-liked, some critics have pointed out that since his 2016 return Shane has been pushed as a legit skilled wrestler far more than is really plausible to the point of overshadowing some of the full-time performers. Standing toe-to-toe with Wrestling/TheUndertaker, giving Wrestling/AJStyles a run for his money, and dominating Wrestling/KevinOwens are three examples, but he came in for particular criticism for the booking of his ''[=WrestleMania=] 34'' match against Owens and Wrestling/SamiZayn where his tag partner Wrestling/DanielBryan (for whom it was his long-awaited ''first match'' in over 2 years) got taken out by an ambush at the start, forcing Shane to hold his ground against Owens and Zayn 2-on-1 until Bryan could recover and come down to even the odds.
** It's become even worse since Shane won the "Best in the World" trophy at Super Showdown and officially turned heel. His boring, long-winded, self-aggrandizing promos eat up 20-30 minutes of air time at least once a week (and sometimes twice) and he's been featured in matches on every show/PPV during a time when WWE has more talent than they can use and wrestlers like Wrestling/AleisterBlack, Wrestling/TheUsos, Wrestling/FinnBalor, and Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura (not to mention the entire women's division) can't even get a TV match once a month.

* ArchEnemy: Over the years his main feuds include [[Wrestling/SeanWaltman X-Pac]], [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, Wrestling/TripleH, Wrestling/KurtAngle, Wrestling/RandyOrton, Wrestling/{{Kane}}, Wrestling/TheUndertaker, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, Wrestling/AJStyles, [[Wrestling/KevinSteen Kevin Owens]], [[Wrestling/ElGenerico Sami Zayn]] and even his [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon sister]], [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon father]] and Wrestling/TheMiz

'''''[[BrickJoke ...SHANE MCMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHON!!!!!!]]'''''

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: As a Face, Shane does his best not to become like his father but his feud with Kevin Owens in the second half of 2017 almost force him to play that card and fire both Owens and Zayn unfairly for all the problems they have caused. Daniel Bryan had to calm him down for months before finally agree with him that those two should be fired after crossing the line.
