That's a misleading statement, to be pedantic. He didn't drop Shane on his head to get through the glass, he tried to belly to belly suplex toss Shane through what he THOUGHT was rigged glass and when it didn't break, Shane landed on his head. Watch Angle after it happens twice: he adjusts to try and catch Shane on the way down because he's clued in things have gone bad, and he abandons the idea of the suplex at the end and just throws Shane through the glass, which isn't much better but hey, heat of the moment.

That's a fair correction. In the course of events, there was unintentional but repeated dropping of Shane McMahon on his head.

Throw him through the glass? After ringing his bell severely at least twice, and probably hopped up on adrenaline? Yeah. Not surprised. Heat of the moment and brain damage don't lead to good decision making.

It's rough to watch, but yeah it looks like they both expected the thing to break easily for a normal back bump and then Shane told him to do it again. Angle, to his credit, got real close so maximum force was against the surface and he could catch him if it didn't go.

Warning on this, dude drops directly on his head, vertically, from about a foot up.

A year in developmental doesn't make him a wwe personality, despite what Wikipedia claims. Him being a Nevada politician probably has as much to do with this.

There have been interesting things similar to this.

- Jim Steele wrestled in AJPW as Wolf Hawkfield, the Native American grappler from Virtua Fighter.

- TNA had a video game where you play as a masked wrestler named Suicide. The gimmick was then used in actual TNA with various wrestlers wearing the mask.

- WWE once taped a battle royal where everyone was dressed as Colonel Sanders.

- AEW has a title belt based around the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game.

They WERE cops, but their idiot captain literally shot them down when they again literally had missiles locked onto a villain that they were trying to bring down, because HE wanted the glory of it, and then they crashed into some expensive building, and the captain failed to catch the bad guy, and he blamed them for both the bad guy getting away and the building getting destroyed which happened because he shot them down, and fired them and put them on the hook for repairs for the building, banishing them to work at the city's junkyard with garnished wages more or less for the rest of their lives. But they were such great mechanics that they built their own crime fighting plane and gear out of all the junk discarded at the dump and basically went back to their original job, except now they're not being paid and the police are actively trying to stop them from dealing with the city wrecking threats.

Plus, you know, it's a cartoon about anthropomorphized cats fighting giant monsters in a superplane, I think you're allowed to pretend this could be a world of better morals and that maybe not ACCAB. That's not a typo, BTW.
