Nothing lost here with this release. Better off gone than in a prominent role. For once it’s a good thing to hear that a McMahon made an ass of themself 😄

I didn't know a McMahon can get fired... Now I'm even more worried for Triple H and his position when or if he ever returns

I didn't know a McMahon can get fired... Now I'm even more worried for Triple H and his position when or if he ever returns You know, if I had any way to keep track of my statements on the internet, I swear that I made a remark somewhere online of "At this point I half expect Shane to get released" back in 2021 or something.
I don't care. He didn't want to be there, nobody in the back wanted him to be there, nobody watching the show wanted him to be there.
I see this as a winning situation for everyone involved.
Oh, and one thing that I haven't seen anyone mention regarding this entire situation yet.
Everyone was talking about how Shane was supposed to come back for a heel run?
Ok. Fine. Then why was he wearing a white jersey?
That was the very first thing I noticed when he showed up. His jersey was white. Not his heel-black, but the white he wore exclusively as a babyface.
Just something that has stuck in my head about this whole thing that, if he was supposed to be coming back as a heel, why did he go straight for Kevin (a heel) and wear white?
I dunno. Guess we will never know now.

I wonder if he'll ever give Stephanie the axe?

I wonder if he'll ever give Stephanie the axe? Probably not. Shane isn’t even a WWE employee, he just wrestles for them occasionally. Stephanie is one of the most important people in the company, possibly the most important besides Vinnie Mac and Big Nick.she’s been the public face of WWE for a few years now. No idea whether the Shane meltdown story is true, but it’s hilarious if so. I hope they make a documentary that includes a full uncut tantrum.

I wonder if he'll ever give Stephanie the axe? No, he actually likes Stephanie lol for some reason he’s never liked Shane. Probably because his son went off to do other things instead of stick by the company like Steph did so it created a bitterness inside of Vince toward him

This all feels off. Shane has never been reported to have an ego problem or put himself over others. Then there was a story that WWE wanted to warn AEW about not hiring him because of his behavior. I don’t believe that for a second. This is a very odd story.

I keep reading more and more about this and it screams “work”, my wrestling sense is saying it’s a work, but there’s a part of me that thinks this HAS to be legit because what’s the payoff in it being a work? (Not that WWE wouldn’t do something like this with no payoff, but smearing Shane doesn’t really look good).
So let’s say it’s legit, WHY? I’ll always like Shane, he just comes off down the earth & he’s always been underrated as a performer. Why would he just self destruct like that at the Rumble? Very strange behavior. I’d love to see him in AEW just for the sheer novelty but is that the plan? Those Wiley McMahons trying to infiltrate AEW? lol you never know, you really don’t.
…and before anybody says “why would they put a spy in AEW”, why not? You can see how easy it is to do, the oppositions SON is being campaigned to join the rival promotion lol, cmon now.

So apparently now Shane was arguing against what a Lesnar wanted and him winning the match
So let’s take back the Shane hate since he was trying to prevent that awful ending

If it were any sort of a work, it'd be due to VKM and Austin Theory. So unless they keep pushing that relationship, and Shane's departure makes more news, the release is legit.

If true, there has to be another side to this story. From reports over the past 2+ decades, Shane is well respected by the locker room and usually has the performers backs. Heck, in 1999 he turned down the PWI rookie of the year award, saying it belong to “the boys.”
This story sounds similar to releases like Bray and Keith Lee last year. While working for the WWE, we never heard a hint that they were ever an issue behind the scenes. Then they’re released, and all of a sudden we’re getting reports that they were both difficult to work with.
I’d like to hear Shane’s side to this.

Any time they fire someone shocking now the automatic response is that they were difficult to work with.

Sure, I despised every single second of his on-screen time since he came back in 2016. How he was always portrayed as being a prominent figure, how he was protected, and how in-ring his "perseverance and determination" made him better booked than 99% of the roster aligns perfectly with the spin right now. But unlike myself, most fans enjoyed that crap. They pushed for him to get a say in running the dang company. They claimed that his time away was meant to be a training session to take over WWE one day. And from what I recall, Shane had ideas about the 2001 WCW invasion and the 2006 ECW revival that at least sounded sensible and could have turned out more fruitful than what we actually received. And not once during all this, was there ever a hint that he was a self-absorbed rube. Only after this did reports came out that his creative ideas constantly mocked behind his back. Not saying there's no truth to WWE's story, but Vince is painted as the levelheaded protagonist here. That has dealt with Shane's "spoiled behavior and attitude" for MONTHS before this.

It was reported that Shane pitched purchasing the UFC before it blew up in popularity in the early 2000s, and suggested some type of paid service to view the WWE’s video library long before WWE 24/7 and WWE Network were created. He ended up going to China and launching a successful streaming platform there before returning to the WWE in 2016. The guy has had good ideas in the past.

Shane will be fine. He has business ventures just like Bischoff. At one point in time, the Carolina Panthers owner fired the co-vice presidents ... his sons. They did nothing "wrong". I'm guessing Shane just wants to be his own man doing his own thing and not tied down to any WWE responsibility.
