Shane Mcmahon

 

It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010.

 

I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.

 

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. I am extremely proud to have been the 4th generation in this business, and I am grateful for everyday I was able to work along side not only my own, but the entire WWE family.

 

Thank you to all of the WWE Superstars both past and present for your passion, pride and dedication. You are truly the engine of the organization and it has been a pleasure to work with, learn from and get to know all of you. Thank you for the privilege of sharing the stage with you and for allowing me to become but a momentary member of your elite brotherhood. I have so much appreciation for the many sacrifices you endure, both physically and personally, to make this business the success that it is. The respect I have for each of you is immeasurable.

 

Finally, there are no words to express my gratitude to WWE fans the world over for supporting this company through good times and bad and for your unbridled passion that fuels the Superstars’ performances. I am profoundly grateful to have been able to entertain you both in front of the camera and from behind the scenes. You are the greatest fans in the world.

 

I will always love this business and will remain a fan forever

Thought it was Vince before you put the name up, I was in shock.

 

It was bound to happen sooner or later, he never seemed overly interested in taking over unlike stephanie

woah, I wonder what caused that and wonder what'll he'll do instead...

 

Shane to TNA! :D

STAMFORD, CT – Shane McMahon, Executive Vice President of Global Media, announced today he has tendered his resignation effective January 1, 2010.

 

Shane stated, “It has been an incredible experience to help build WWE® into a global phenomenon. However, having been associated with this organization for the majority of my life, I feel this is the opportune time in my career to pursue outside ventures.”

 

“Even though I am personally saddened by Shane’s decision to leave the company, I am proud of the enormous contributions he has made. He will unquestionably bring passion, commitment and extensive business experience to any endeavor he pursues,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO.

Wow. No way. That was unexpected.
I think this has more to do with Linda running for Senate and Shane's potential position of Chief of Staff/Campaign Manager

Triple H's masterplan continue's to take shape :lol

 

When Vince dies, wrestling is going to be in worse shape than it is now.

Got tons of respect for Shane. Think he's doing the right thing, especially if he wants something different out of life, other than working for the family business.

Well thats Steph and HHH assured of taking over now once Vince is gone.

 

Suprised to hear the news though, although as said Shane always seemed to be more distant from WWE then Steph and in the respect of if it was a McMahon who would it be who left he was the obvious one.

Sad times. I always liked and respected Shane. I'd much, much, MUCH rather have had him in charge than the McMahon-Helmsley regime. But hey-ho.
I'd say he quit after seeing 5 minutes of a recent Raw show.

Shane always seemed more interested in being a wrestler than in behind the scenes. Even that passion seemed to vanish the last few years.

 

Shocked, but not very shocked that he would quit.

He didn't just say that...?

Yep, Vince just future endevoured his own son :P
Ah man, one of my favourite entrances ever gone.
There goes the money. :3
Blah, and I had hoped that Shane would've taken over the company and not Stephanie

0__0

 

Wait...

 

I'm never going to get to hear "Hear Comes The Money" again...

 

Oh...

 

My...

 

God...

"There goes the money". Nyuk nyuk! I know..so incredibly witty.

 

With the title of the thread ("BIG") I was hoping it was Big Show. I even thought the "working with my father" was a total kayfabe reference to Andre.

"There goes the money". Nyuk nyuk! I know..so incredibly witty.

 

About eight minutes late there chap.

Think of the matches!

 

Shane v AJ Styles

Shane v Samoa Joe

Shane v Abyss..

 

Anyway, yeah this is quite shocking actually.
