There goes the money!

Sheesh, you go away for a week and the entire wresslin' webiverse goes to hell in a handbasket! Big news, but old news out of Stamford, as Shane McMahon, son of wrestling promoter Vincent McMahon and Senate candidate, Linda McMahon, brother of head WWE writer Stephanie McMahon-Levasque, brother-in-law of wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levasque, husband to Marissa Mazzola-McMahon, and father of Declan and Kenyon McMahon, has tendered his official resignation from World Wrestling Entertainment. Shane is a former European and Hardcore champion, but far more importantly, he is an integral part of WWE behind the scenes.

For the last six years, Shane served as Executive Vice President of WWE Global Media. He essentially got the word out about WWE and makes sure no one pirates their intellectual property. Not the most exciting job, to be sure, but important nonetheless. Shane was also a big proponent of making the product more physical, MMA-style. He also was a major advocate of keeping the ECW brand as more intimate and as a product to cater to the original audience. It'll be interesting to see what direction ECW goes in now that Shane is no longer around to influence it.



Still, the immediate question to be asked is "what next?" Shane is a McMahon, and McMahons are wrestling. When McMahons try and make a football league, it fails. When they attempt a body building league, it failed. WWE films? Fail. Linda McMahon's Senate run? We'll wait and see, but let's say our original prediction of muckraking was fairly accurate. And where's this fabled XBA Vince mentioned a while back?

Lucky for Shane, we have a couple of ideas for him to mull over while he goes through this mid-life crisis.

1) Work for his mother's Senate campaign.

Surely the WWE is not naive enough to think that a woman with no political experience and once put on necrophilia on a television program has a legitimate chance of being Senator, right? But what if, Shane just happened to work on the campaign and gained some experience. What if he learned a few things, met some movers and shakers, and was planning his own run for office in 2016? Hey, it worked for this guy.

2) Work in film productions

Shane's wife (who is quite the piece) runs her own film production company called Kamala Films (nice website, by the way). Yes, it is in fact named after the Ugandan giant.


The company already has produced the film Anamorph, which starred Willem Dafoe (who, for such a brilliant actor will really do ANY role if the money is right) and wrestling's own Mick Foley!

Yea, we didn't see it either.

3) Buy a Corvette, dump his wife and date a 20 year old, listen to a lot of Whitesnake.

Like we said, his wife is a piece. We don't recommend this.

4) Shop a reality show

Shane can star in his own show about an adult child finally growing up and striking out on his own, determined to make out of his family's enormous shadow. VH1 can air it after Hogan Knows Best. It'll be ratings gold! Imagine all the mad cap hijinks as Shane keeps inventing new products to sell! And maybe, just maybe he'll invent a shrink ray, shrink the children, they'll almost die countless times, and eventually he'll resize them!

Like this, but with Shane McMahon

Anyways, mull these over, Shane-O-Mac. But before you call it a career this January 1, can you please answer us one question? Where's the "O" come from in Shane-O-Mac. We know McMahon is an Irish name, but you're just perpetuating stereotypes, man. How would you like it if we called you "Drunk-O-Red Nose." Yea, we thought so.
