So, the other day, I got sucked into this whole rabbit hole about Shane McMahon and Jim Ross. You know, the WWE stuff. I was just scrolling through my phone, procrastinating as usual, and boom, there it was – a picture of Shane with Tony Khan, the AEW guy. My jaw dropped. I mean, what’s that all about?
I started digging, and man, it’s a messy situation. I always thought Shane was a good guy, always trying to impress his old man, Vince. I mean, he was right there in the thick of it, as a wrestling promoter, the Executive VP of Global Media, and even had a minority stake in the company. I remember seeing him at the 2022 Royal Rumble. He was a big deal. I guess that explains his $100 million net worth.
Then I stumbled upon some stuff about Jim Ross. That guy’s a legend, but he’s had it rough with his health. Bell’s palsy and all that. That’s likely why he stepped back from WWE. I can’t imagine dealing with that and the crazy travel schedule they have.
- First, I was trying to figure out what happened with Shane and WWE. It seems like there were some creative differences and he wanted to do his own thing.
- Second, I read that there was some kind of restructuring going on in the company, especially after they sold off some rights and changed the leadership. It’s all a bit murky, but it seems like Shane saw an opportunity and took it.
- Then, I read that Shane was able to seize the opportunity and purchase WCW himself. This made me wonder, could it be possible for him to join AEW?
I mean, it is not impossible, right? But it is a long shot. This is all just speculation, of course. I just find it fascinating how these things unfold behind the scenes. It’s like a real-life soap opera, and I’m here for it. Anyway, I just wanted to share my little deep dive with you all. It’s crazy how one picture can lead you down such a wild path.
