I wrote more, but I realized I wrote that before. There was something about him pulling off a Van Terminator in the larger WWE ring (before RVD came in), co-opting Test's diving elbow into a signature, suicidal maneuver, and even being a legit titleholder (as opposed to Vince being world champion merely to screw Austin & such).
The best part was that he was awesome at all aspects of it. He could tell a story in a match, in the booth, and on the mic. And let's not forget exactly how over he was, and I suspect, still is. Honestly, if he came back TONIGHT as a surprise to RAW, the second everyone heard "HERE COMES THE MON-AYYYYYY!" then "outpopping DX" would be a freakin' understatement. Hell, he showed up ONE TIME in a backstage sgement on RAW a few years ago (before he left) and the place went nuts like he was The Rock!
THAT should tell you "just how awesome Shane was."
And, why I vote Shane HoF material. If Koko B. Ware can get in, there should be a guaranteed spot for $hane-O-Mac.
...I did it anyway.
