He was a great character. Underrated.
Compare a non-trained Shane to a non-trained/trained David Flair

He probably felt like he had to do the craziest shit to prove himself to the boys backstage that he wasn't just Vince's spoiled son.
I hated him when I was a kid. Wish he'd return now.
Except for maybe Steph and Vince. Shane is very much like Steph and Vince but in many ways also very different. He didn't care for all the stupid, immature, illogical, and childish things Vince and Steph did and a large reason why he left the WWE in 2010. Love Shane and as you noted, he and probably 'Taker, are the only guys who have been in the wrestling business for more than 5-6 years that no one really has a bad word to say about.One of the very few people in wrestling that everyone loves. Add that he was a non-wrestler, the boss´ son and someone I have never ever heard anybody say a bad word about him, in such a resentful business as pro-wrestling, and you have a one in a lifetime rarity.
lets not forget in 09 when he was 1 on 3 supermaning Legacy we all hated him.

On October 21, 2006, Pride Fighting Championships held Pride 32 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Paradise, Nevada. Shane was in attendance at the event, resulting in speculation that WWE could be considering promoting MMA events. On November 17, WWE and Dream Stage Entertainment officials, the parent company of Pride Fighting Championships, had a meeting at WWE global headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The meeting focused on the possibility of the two groups doing some form of business together in the future. Yet on March 27, 2007, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, president of DSE, announced that Station Casinos, Inc. magnate Lorenzo Fertitta, also one of the co-owners of Zuffa, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, had made a deal to acquire all the assets of Pride FC from DSE after Pride 34 in a deal worth about USD 70 million. Therefore, the deal between DSE and WWE has reportedly been called off.
