Probably mentioned already, but how awesome would it be for Shane to join TNA, or any other wrestling organization, work his way to owner and eventually beat a Steph and Trips run WWE in a rating war?!?!

-- Nothing new to report on Shane McMahon. He's not talking. Everyone in WWE was taken completely off guard and people who worked with him were said to be "shocked and devastated". WWE.com got the word out as quickly as possible this morning because they didn't want the news to break on wrestling websites first. There are a lot of people in WWE nervous about what this means for the future. Credit: www.f4wonline.com |

Maybe Shane's departure will truly be the wake up call the company has needed for years now. |

I have to LOL at the 'This is one step closer to the death of WWE' and 'I wish Steph resigned' posts. Firstly, it's nowhere near the death of the company. And nobody knows exactly how good Steph is. Nobody knows how creative Shane is. By all accounts it's Steph that's shown the passion to learn as much about the business as possible from Vince and shown a real desire to take over, when Shane has never really wanted to. Fair play to him, it's interesting, but if we are a step closer to HHH taking some higher position of influence in the company then I'm all for it. Steph has learnt from Vince and HHH has a good mind for the business, it could work very well indeed when Vince steps down. So, you bemoan people for having unfounded opinions of people's abilities they don't know, then in the same post put over the drive and talent of a person you don't know over another person you don't know? Oh, Irony. It's not just what iron tastes like. That said, I think you're being a little too defensive of Steph and her "talent" here. She's head writer. The ideas we see on screen are ok'd by her then passed by Vince. We have at least a good idea what she is capable of each week by virtue of her profession. And if we're going by results and logic here, her batting average isn't too great creatively. She's the Bob Eueker of WWE writers. |

From various shoots, Steph is an extremely smart person that could run the business side of things, but isnt creative at all.

A real slap in the face to his father IMO. Vince Jr. carried on Vince Sr.'s legacy etc. and here is Shane peeing on his father's legacy. Whatever happened to tradition?
"First and foremost, I would like to thank my father for the incredible education working with him has provided and for giving me the opportunity to play a role in building WWE into the global phenomenon that it is today."
Is Shane that stupid to think that the WWE's success is even partly down to him? Hit the road Shane and don't come back.

Apparently Vince, and Stephanie are extremely intelligent.
Yet, Monday Raw is still a burning bag of dog poop.

You may not like Shane O'Mac, and by the looks of things you seem to be in a minority there, but is he really peeing on his Fathers legacy? I know Vince Jr has been wildly successful but it could be argued lying to Vince Snr about going national and putting countless promoters out of work whilst Vince Snr was dying was more of a slap in the face than anything Shane has done. Like I said it worked and made Vince a multi millionaire but he still lied to his dad. As daft as it is to claim Shane leaving will destroy the WWE immediately, although in the long term who knows this could be seen as a catalyst, it is equally daft to say Shane did nothing. |

Didn't Vince take over the WWF by basically forcing his father out the door? Besides, Shane is smart for gettin' when the gettin' is still good. |

Why is this a problem? He likes WWE so sue him |

Good. they should be nervous. Maybe Shane's departure will truly be the wake up call the company has needed for years now. thats a wake up call I truly wish we could do without If it means the likelyhood of the E actually trying to make their product entertaining again, then it's a wake up call that is absolutely necessary. |

I haven't read most of the responses on this thread so my initial thoughts are below:
- This is not a work. I'm not sure it has really been mentioned yet on the thread, but I have to say it. To me, this is 100% true and real and Shane really is leaving on 01/01.
- While a bit shocking, the more I think about it, it's not as shocking as you might think. There have been reports for the last several years about the power struggle between Shane and Stef/Hunter over whose direction the company would take.
The fact of the matter is Vince, although an obsessed workaholic, can't go on forever and won't be around to run the WWE forever. With Linda leaving to run for Senate, that would leave the kids in charge.
- Shane has always been more like his mother in running the business side of the WWE while Steph is much more like Vince in always 'shooting an angle' or protecting kayfabe. I think Shane saw the writing on the wall that with Linda gone, once Vince left Steph and Hunter would impose their will on the creative process.
If I recall correctly, Shane and Steph clashed a few years back over what the content of WWE.com should be. Shane wanted it to be more realistic and show 'behind the scenes' stuff of the superstars being real people while Steph wanted it to be solely to further angles and be a giant work (who does that sound like?)
Lastly, I think Shane realizes that in the end with Vince, those closer to kayfabe will win out aka Steph and Hunter. I saw that one site reported that several sources in WWE were "scared" of what is going to happen next.
Honestly, they had better be. Given how she's run the creative process so far while in charge, I shudder to think at Steph and Hunter running the whole show.
Best wishes to Shane though. Hope he finds something else he loves.

I would surely think that having Vince treat Hunter more as a son than he has Shane would really have to be a slap in SHANE's face more than anything. I mean, all those years you worked, slaved and sweated, and then some worker comes in, marries your sister, and now HE'S next in line for the throne? That'd piss me off too. Not saying that's the reason, or even a reason at all. Just throwing that out there for what it's worth. |
