10 Pictures Of Shane McMahon Like You've Never Seen Him Before – TheSportster
Shane McMahon is best known for being a daredevil, taking some of the craziest bumps in WWE history, but these images show a different side of him.
As a member of the McMahon family, Shane McMahon has been thrust into the public eye from a young age. He has worked inside the ring, proving himself as an entertaining wrestler throughout his career. Shane is best known for being a true daredevil, taking some of the craziest bumps in the history of the business.
But there is a lot more to Shane than just being the son of a billionaire who likes to launch himself off tall platforms. Shane is a great friend, sibling, and father, and he is someone who puts a lot of effort into everything he does. This can be learned when checking out pictures of his life, showing him in a new light.
Just because Shane McMahon is the son of Vince, it did not guarantee him large success within WWE. He had to work for a top spot on the show, and that led to him starting from the bottom. That is clear in this picture, where Shane is just a member of the WWE crew, working ringside.
He was on hand to take on any job that needed to be done, including grabbing the entrance gear of the WWE Superstars. It was likely a humbling experience for him, and is a side of Shane that most people don't know about.
Sometimes being the boss's son can be a negative situation when trying to gain the respect of your peers. However, Shane McMahon has never had that issue, which is likely down to the efforts that he has taken inside the ring, going all out with big bumps throughout.
This has led to Shane's fellow wrestlers appreciating him a lot, proving the type of person that he is. One wrestler who he has been able to earn the respect of is Ron Simmons, and that is shown within this brilliant picture between two beloved stars.
Shane McMahon might be best known to the fans for what he does inside the ring as a performer, but much like the rest of the family, he has taken on a backstage role as well. Shane has helped to promote the company, pushing WWE forward in any way needed.
That includes this moment, where he was working a press conference to hype up WrestleMania. These types of situations have to be done for the big events, but a lot of fans don't always see Shane in this role.
Throughout the majority of their time in WWE as on-screen characters, Shane and Stephanie McMahon have been presented as enemies. That has worked for pushing storylines and entertaining the WWE Universe, but in reality, the two of them are very close as siblings.
That has always been the case, and is on full display in this picture from their younger years. The two of them get along well, and that is likely down to how much time they've spent together within the family business working side by side.
Respect is massively important in professional wrestling, with that being what the industry was built on. That is what makes the Hall Of Fame such an important evening for the business, and Shane McMahon likes to get himself a front-row seat for those shows over the years.
It's a side of Shane that some fans may not have seen before, with the focus for him being on showing his respect for others. While he could easily stay in the back and watch it due to his family name, Shane always likes to be involved, which is great.
Shane McMahon is a true daredevil and someone who has put together some incredibly entertaining moments throughout his career. However, the priority role for Shane is that he is a father. That is something that fans don't typically get to see, because Shane is a rather private person.
This picture does provide a slight glimpse at what Shane is like as a father though, clearly being hands-on. This is all about him wanting his children to have a fun experience where possible, which is what shows him in a different light.
Everyone knows that Shane McMahon likes to be hyped up when he heads out to the ring for a match. That is normally seen by him strutting and dancing on his way down to the ring, with Shane trying to amp up the crowd, as well as himself.
But this picture shows him behind the scenes, getting into the moment, proving that his energy begins in the back. It's something that he must need to do to get himself ready for a match, and it has certainly worked for him over the years.
When WWE video games are created, the company making them normally hires some independent wrestlers to hit all the moves that the WWE roster has to be motion captured. This then allowed the designers to put the game together, and it means the wrestlers themselves don't need to take bumps for this.
However, that wasn't the case with Shane McMahon, as he wanted everything to be authentically him. Because of that, he tends to do his own motion capture, making sure the moves look just like they do in reality with his own movements, which showcases his dedication.
Shane McMahon is an extremely hardworking individual, and he often takes on any role he can. Something he has done is work as a producer, sitting backstage with the headset on to talk directly with the official inside the ring. Showing that he is capable of this is something a lot of fans don't know about.
Shane is a talented person, and the fact he can take on this type of role proves the wide range of knowledge he has of the business. It isn't something that people can just slot into, therefore this is a job he will have worked on over time.
Shane McMahon is someone who always puts in a lot of work ahead of time when it comes to stepping into the ring. Because he doesn't wrestle all of the time, when he is called upon he needs to prepare himself to be able to compete against the current stars.
Shane enjoys boxing and MMA, which he does to get himself ready from a cardiovascular perspective. Some part-time wrestlers don't push themselves to that level, but the fact Shane does proves how much it means to him.
