Shane said he was &#8220;sore&#8221; from the move, but his adrenaline was pumping, so he didn&#8217;t feel anything in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Shane, looking heavily tanned offsetting\u00a0with his gray hair, said he is excited and nervous about being inside HIAC with Taker on Sunday. &#8220;It&#8217;s a whole different atmosphere with someone that big who I respect so much,&#8221; Shane said. &#8220;You just gotta let it rip, which is exactly what I&#8217;m going to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Coach asked what stands out to him the most from the crazy, &#8220;eye-popping&#8221; things he&#8217;s done in a ring. Shane said it was only supposed to be one match back in the Attitude Era, so he put everything into that one match, but it &#8220;caught fire,&#8221; so he kept having more matches. Shane said he had to get more creative and then it escalated to where it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Coach wanted to know what&#8217;s inside him wanting to take his high risks. &#8220;That&#8217;s a good question,&#8221; Shane said before pausing. He said it&#8217;s his drive and competitive nature within himself. He said he goes into every physical endeavor that he will push it until he can&#8217;t push it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Shane has to think about his three sons. But, Coach framed his question as his sons getting to see him wrestle (not Shane scaling back so he doesn&#8217;t injure himself when he has a family to think about it). Shane said wrestling for his sons\u00a0&#8220;is my main reason&#8221; for returning to WWE. Shane said he gets to play a &#8220;real-life super-hero&#8221; for his sons. &#8220;There&#8217;s no bigger gift than I could ever give them than that experience,&#8221; Shane said.<\/p>\n<p>Coach said Shane once was that kid to Vince McMahon. Shane flashed back to WrestleMania I, where Vince bet everything on that one event. Now, they&#8217;re at WM32 for the Super Bowl and World Series.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2146835514\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Coach said they watch Raw in the ESPN newsroom and they saw Shane making a big return in Detroit after being away for six years. Shane said that reaction and the sustained reaction was humbling. He said he wanted to soak up all that energy. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never experienced that feeling in my life,&#8221; Shane said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never heard that.&#8221; Shane said he thinks he was representing hope and it was a surprise, so it was a big deal to the fans.<\/p>\n<p>Coach said everyone knows if Shane was going to come back and be in that match with Taker at WrestleMania, he has to deliver. Coach brought up Shane&#8217;s training videos making it seem like Shane&#8217;s in the best shape of his adult life. Shane said he has a huge list of people helping him.<\/p>\n<p>Coach said he heard a rumor that Shane and New York Giants QB Eli Manning went through a training session. Shane said they were on vacation together and it did happen. Shane said he ran some routes for Manning, who needed to practice his throwing.<\/p>\n<p>Coach closed by asking Shane what&#8217;s next for him after Sunday. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Shane said. &#8220;Don&#8217;t know. Where I think we&#8217;ll go &#8211; I&#8217;ll be walking out Monday night controlling Monday Night Raw.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The interview closed on that note. Coach plugged ESPN SportsCenter live at AT&amp;T Stadium for wrap-around coverage on Sunday. Coach said they will be talking to &#8220;Stone Cold&#8221; Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, and Snoop Dogg.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What&#39;s next after Sunday for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shanemcmahon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShaneMcMahon<\/a>?<br \/>Simple answer&#8230; &quot;I don&#39;t know.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OffTheTopRope?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OffTheTopRope<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u1cxGkOZ4h\">pic.twitter.com\/u1cxGkOZ4h<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/715357275238621184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 31, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1090174326\"><div id=\"pwtor-3546516498\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE on ESPNews SportsCenter Airdate: March 30, 2016 Guest: Shane McMahon Host: Jonathan Coachman A special Wednesday night edition of ESPNews&#8217;s WWE segment featured The Coach sitting down with Shane McMahon for an in-person, face-to-face <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2016\/03\/30\/330-shane-mcmahon-sportscenter\/\" title=\"3\/30 Shane McMahon on SportsCenter &#8211; Shane hypes WM32 match vs. Undertaker, what&#8217;s next after Sunday?, crowd reaction for his return, returning to WWE for his sons\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4127,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,495,20],"tags":[259,760,322,530,258,997,106,133,132,71],"class_list":["post-14737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tvshowsandevents","category-wwe-on-espn","category-tv_wwetvreports","tag-espn","tag-espnews","tag-jonathan-coachman","tag-shane-mcmahon","tag-sportscenter","tag-the-coach","tag-the-undertaker","tag-wm32","tag-wrestlemania","tag-wwe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2015\/11\/SportsCenter_3x2.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14737"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14784,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14737\/revisions\/14784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
