There's a lot of parallels but Succession has nothing on WWE family business politics. This last week alone is enough for half a season and we still have a Saudi show before the end of the month. It's a more interesting story than anything they put on TV. Honestly if they had a backstage documentary crew from the start of The Authority to now it would be the greatest show ever made. Succession, Sunderland 'Til I die, GoT, the office and much more mixed together. Brilliant comparison. I’d take it a level deeper, requires a little cross show pollination….but…. Vince? TOTALLY Logan Roy. Like…completely. Nick Khan? Strikes me more of a Bobby Axelrod type. Or, maybe, Wags. (currently binging Billions. Almost done with season 2…)

I mean If I don’t see Shane on my tv anytime soon I’m okay with that, but the old fashioned wuss in me would actually hate to see a family being broken apart by something that isn’t really all that big of a deal

The next Dark Side of the Ring should be about Shane McMahon at the 2022 Royal Rumble. It's going to be called "There Goes the Money"

The "Shane McMahon to AEW" stuff is funny in concept, but if he was causing so much backstage bullshit that even WWE couldn't stand it and had to let him go, I do not see AEW touching him with a hundred foot pole lmfao

I don’t actually want Shane in AEW. But it would be hilarious if he shows up one time and that’s it. They’re doing some hardcore match and he suddenly appears on top of scaffolding, misses an elbow drop and is gone.

If I take anything away from this, it's that Shane never forgot that roof shattering return pop he got in 2016, and it seemed to REALLY go to his head in the years since cause this dude seems to hold himself in the same regard as f***ing Steve Austin lmfao

Vince didn't even wait until Friday Night Smackdown to fire Shane.

The Revival had a really interesting end stage run, Shane McMahon and Randy Orton's running buddies lol

What can you even say about the MacMahons at this point other than laugh at them? They're like a living parody of themselves. I swear this exact f***ing thing happened in a Lapsed Vince skit on TLF years ago.

If Cody gets promo time on Dynamite tonight, he is 100% working in a Shane McMahon reference to further his rambling and "I'm not signed, honest" schtick.

Honestly, if I had to bet on Shane showing up anywhere it'd be Corgan's NWA or GCW because GCW are insane enough to book Shane in a crazy hardcore match lmfao

I think Shane likes the entertainment side of wrestling but I feel like once his whole "buy Pride or the UFC" thing fell apart he was done with combat sports. He seems to have passions outside wrestling.
