***MAJOR REASON SHANE McMAHON ACTUALLY LEFT WWE IN THE MID-2000s REVEALED***
Now that
#VinceMcMahon has officially resigned from his executive role at the
#TKOGroup, for the first time in over 50 years, there isn't a McMahon involved with the
#WWE. This should be big enough, but more news has come out.
Since Vince is gone and WWE was previously sold off, people are speaking out as they feel safe to do so. One report involved the real reason
#ShaneMcMahon left the WWE in the mid-2000s, to the shock of many at the time.
--------------------------
WHY SHANE REALLY LEFT:
Initially, everyone assumed the WWE would be given to Shane to run whenever Vince stepped away. However, Vince wanted his son to be just like him whereas Shane never wanted this. In fact, he actively tried to avoid being like his father.
This eventually came to a head when Shane figured out what his father was involved in over at Titan Tower. While everyone was pretty much aware that Vince had mistresses and cheated on his wife,
#LindaMcMahon, regularly, no one knew the extent.
According to reports, Shane was trying to stop some of the actions taking place. He even stuck around far longer than he wanted to help stop Vince's terrible behavior. He was involved in many attempts to do so, but Vince's power was too much.
Vince felt that Shane would come along eventually, and often tried to get him to engage in similar debaucherous actions. He'd even turn his father's attempts to do so in front of major executives in WWE at the time.
After refereeing the first Royal Rumble event in 1998 Shane McMahon was told by Pat Patterson to head directly to his fathers hotel suite. McMahon Senior had assembled thirty-one prostitutes to commemorate Shane McMahon "officially entering the family business". This initiation ceremony was also witnessed by #SgtSlaughter and #GeraldBrisco. Shane was told to select a prostitute to urinate on #SgtSlaughter #GeraldBrisco Vince and finally himself. He was then told in no uncertain terms to have sexual intercourse with five prostitutes.
Yet Shane wanted nothing to do with that and eventually did not want anything to do with his father at all. The tension built and Shane left entirely. The two were estranged for quite some time.
For years, many assumed the falling out was over Shane not getting the CEO role that his mother left open when she departed. Now, we know that is not the case.
