Did a pro-wrestling star commiserate with Rory after his Masters collapse?

Was a heart-broken Rory welcomed to the signing shed by the heir to pro wrestling, Shane McMahon?

AS RORY McILROY headed into face the Augusta officials to sign for his disastrous final round last night, his agent Chubby Chandler was no-where to be seen.

But the Holywood star was welcomed back in by a figure who resembled Shane McMahon, the son of WWE owner Vince.

McMahon junior’s name trended almost immediately as millions watching at home scratched their heads in unison – and today several global sports websites continue to wonder what the connection is?

As SB Nation write: “Adding WTF to injury, his escape from Augusta National was momentarily delayed by a person Twitter’s Trending Topics list is convinced was Shane McMahon, one-time pro wrestler.

“Your guess is as good as mine. Pro wrestling is pretty huge in Ireland and Northern Ireland, from whence young McIlroy hails, so the golfer may realize whose hand he’s shaking. Note the specific similarity in their surnames, after all.”

Deadspin meanwhile write: “After he Greg Norman’d the back nine at Augusta — and memorably played No 10 by way of someone’s crawlspace — Rory McIlroy was comforted by a guy everyone is certain was Shane McMahon. This makes no sense at all.”

So what do you think? Is Rory set for Monday Night Raw – or are the McMahons branching into the sedate world of golf. While we ponder the big question of the day, here’s Shane jumping 50ft off a big screen:
