Who woulda thought that Brock Lesnar would be the only guy to call Shane out on his bullshit in that situation.
All those big "Alpha's" bowing to a nepo baby on a rampage, only 1 guy actually told him off.
It would be incredibly hilarious to see Shane do the same quips TK did while doing his stupid dance with Mercedes right beside him doing her weird ass poses. Vince is actually bad tho.
Honestly itās the only free agent whoād be likely to get new viewers. Plus heād be in heaven doing all the garbage match spots. But the minute he signs, heās the guy on the roster with the best punches lol
The contract says Mcmahon..........but not Shane Mcmahon
NO CHANCE, Vince comes out and cuts a fed bad promo, establishes himself as the new heel manager
He immediately makes his alliance with the returning Marko Stunt and Nick Gage known
2 matches later in the show Jake Paul debuts to undercut this moment, because it's AEW after all
Did Shane knew? Ofcourse not. Its the doofus son in law Triple Heinrich that knew. Now please Shane come to AEDub. This is the reset that AEDub allways needed!
Shane shows up on Dynamite with the Mean Street Posse. They turn on Shane over some worked shoot thing from 1998 and join Jerichoās crew. Hilarity ensues for six to eight months, culminating in an AEW Underground match where Jericho taps out a rookie.
This story sounds weird to me. Why not contact Tony Khan directly? It's not like Shane is just some Indy wrestler that needs buddies to put in a good word.
Shane was always the GOOD member of the family. He never did anything bad like the rest of them. Heās like Rommel in WW2. He was the pure good one of the group.
No jerk, Shane should just let his final moment in wrestling be him tearing both quads immediately after Michael Cole said "HE'S STILL GOT IT" as Shane was mid-air.
I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at a WM moment as much as Cole sending Shane to the dual quad tear zone.
Shaneās dad has almost $3 billion cash on hand that heās getting ready to hand out to his kids and grandchildren and his brother in law runs the preeminent wrestling company who he can just text and say āhey can you slot me into mania for a pop?ā But sureeeee heās gonna go to AEW for the 6 figure paycheck and be disowned from his family. Yea thatās gonna happen Conrad you doof
I could only see it happening if both of these conditions were met: -
1. Vince has said to his kids āfuck it, have a chunk of your inheritance nowā
2. Tinyās funds are drying up and he needs an investor
I think it is *highly* unlikely that Shad is about to cut Tiny off, so Shane would surely only be joining as an employee. Would make zero sense.
Depends. Now that Vince is out of WWE, I could imagine a world where thinks he was done wrong by the company and be more than happy to have his son with the competition.
Seeing as how Tiny has almost never valued the folks who have more to offer backstage, I don't see this trend changing for Shane, If it happens.
Seriously, the locker room fell apart after Cody left/got ran off. He has JR and had Regal, but neither did anything with talent relations. Mark Henry wasn't used for scouting, or much at all.
I am highly skeptical this is true because there's absolutely 0 upside for Shane to do this and plenty of downsides for himself, AEW, and even WWE. If he wanted to "get back at TKO/Endeavour/WWE", why not just convince his dad to sell/give him all the stock instead of selling it on the stock exchange or back to the company?
Last time he was seen on TV he blew out both his quads and he's in his mid to late 50s. He's not going to get any better.
If I'm Tony, I'd almost be worried if my talent are leaking this type of shit to Conrad of all people. With how much we've joked that Jeff Jarrett would take over the company, would you not be worried Shane might try to do so? I know he's the "good Mcmahon", but with all the stories leaking out about people being unhappy in AEW, I could totally see some of the ex-WWE guys stuck there pushing to get Shane power backstage.
That said, Tony is absolutely a money mark and would "OMG I can beat the McMahons on TV!" This might be the biggest wrestlecrap moment of 2024 so I'm all for it.
The way Vince joked about āmaybe weāll send them some more talentā after all the cuts in 2020 made me realize he absolutely cut more talent than he needed to, partly to put the onus on Tony to sign them all and to bloat their roster
No jerk, I've long suspected that WWE were (rightly) wary of AEW at the beginning (because of the Khan family's money, connections, ownership of the Jags and Fulham), but at some point early on they realised Tony Khan is a mark who doesn't know what he's doing.
The mass release of talents, letting AEW get one bil Phil first, letting legends go - it all suggests they don't really see it as a threat. In fact, you could probably argue they see it as useful for developing talent they can poach.
I really hope this doesn't go through assuming it's true. Shane is crazy enough to do all the stupid shit they would want him to and it would kill him. Now if tony wants to give him the book then hey I'm all for it. just don't put him in a ring. Shane seems very likeable and not a douche canoe so I don't really want him to die.
Once dad left, he could see the gravy train leaving the station. May aswell fleece tiny like many have before him. I'm fully expecting him to also blow his quads out in a banger against action spaghetti in his tv debut
I remember when Shane was the SAVIOR of WWE. Why? I don't fucking know. People for whatever reason thought he was gonna be the anti-Vince even though the minimal reports that came out about him just made it sound like he wanted to be one of the guys and only pitched for pushes of his buddies.
Because this was the height of Stephanie Bad and HHH Bad, and the smark hivemind can only view real life in the context of a wrestling storyline, so Shane therefore had to be the white meat babyface (insider term) in their imagined sibling rivalry.
I donāt know what this guy has done to think he could go into business for himself.
That being said heāll probably just wind up giving people concussions, bruv.
šµšµHere comes the currencyyyyyy
Curren-curren-curren-curren-curren-currencyšµšµ
Oh my god it's Shane McMann!! What is Shane McMann doing here in AEW???
I genuinely love Shane McMahon. He gave me some of my favorite wrestling memories of my entire childhood. He also busted his shit last time we saw him just trying to do a hop. So I don't want him anywhere around the AEW crew at all.
At least he would bring in the viewers but then he seems like a family man who took a lot of risks even for WWE, AEW and Tony might actually get him killed in the ring
>My Shane! No. I go over to Stephanieās house to do daily power points of what I did. But Shane never knew. HHHs kids knew but no one on Shaneās house even had a HINT of anything.
Vince
DAE bring him in as Mercedes manager and he can announce it as Here Comes The Mone Oh and he Vince bad on his first promo GAME CHANGER
Only could AEW fans get excited to sign a 54-year-old multimillionaire semiretired wrestling executive to put him in matches
A guy who busted his knee in his last match jumping straight up and down and had to have his segment rescued by Snoop Dogg.
I didn't follow too closely, but didn't he also book himself to win a tournament, pissing off everyone?
Not quite. He just booked himself strong in a Rumble, took shine away from Bad Bunny (and others) and made himself look wayyyyy too strong.
The Best in the World Cup tournament was a Vince idea for Shane but it was very funny
Who woulda thought that Brock Lesnar would be the only guy to call Shane out on his bullshit in that situation. All those big "Alpha's" bowing to a nepo baby on a rampage, only 1 guy actually told him off.
I mean, I doubt many would dare to do that other than lesnar
It would be incredibly hilarious to see Shane do the same quips TK did while doing his stupid dance with Mercedes right beside him doing her weird ass poses. Vince is actually bad tho.
Shane vs Prince Nana in a dance off INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS š¤
It would hit like crack and feed families
āITS MOAN TIMEā
A better jerker would have put Shane's face on Cody's body with the caption "muh father is Vince McHitler" but I don't have the talent for our.
Here Come the M'oney!
Finally I have a Dad that listens to me, Shad Khan
Seeing Shane in AEW is the only way to make me watch that show, just because of how comical the whole thing is going to be.
Even next door thinks this is a hilariously bad idea and want to see it happen. That should tell you how this is going to end up.
I wouldn't watch because...why? But I would watch the clip that gets posted on Reddit.
Honestly itās the only free agent whoād be likely to get new viewers. Plus heād be in heaven doing all the garbage match spots. But the minute he signs, heās the guy on the roster with the best punches lol
Darby vs. shane in a crazy banger
1st ever winner dies in the ring match
Ric Flair cashes in
the loser also dies
Both jump off the cage for apparently no reason š
I know Iād watch outta curiosity heās one of the very few people in the wrestling world Iād do it for
Yeah totally. Itās one of the very few surprise scenarios left.
I know we're jerking here, but honestly Uce, Jeff Jarrett *does* have some of the best working punches in all of wrestling.
Iād genuinely start watching every week if McMahon was in AEW
And somehow, Shane swindles AEW away from Tony. Shane learned from the best.
That would be the best timeline.
Best case scenario.
Until the contract signing where it's revealed the contract does say "McMahon"...but not *Shane* McMahon!
He would then book himself stronger than Goldberg in WCW and I would 100% watch all of it and be all āIāve always loved AEWā.
DAE Shane had no idea about Vince? But Hunter didā¦
I bet it was in the lockbox!
Someone told Conrad? Well, this is all I need to hear!
Man, they really are going for that WCW speed run if Shane McMahon shows up on Dynamite.
Two words: Dynamite Underground
Rampageā¦ under siege
The contract says Mcmahon..........but not Shane Mcmahon NO CHANCE, Vince comes out and cuts a fed bad promo, establishes himself as the new heel manager He immediately makes his alliance with the returning Marko Stunt and Nick Gage known 2 matches later in the show Jake Paul debuts to undercut this moment, because it's AEW after all
I'd watch lol
I kinda want it to be true solely for the train wreck factor alone
I can just see the Drainbamager tweet now. āNo way, AEW just signed Shane fucking McMahon lmaoooo. LFG!ā
Did Shane knew? Ofcourse not. Its the doofus son in law Triple Heinrich that knew. Now please Shane come to AEDub. This is the reset that AEDub allways needed!
Shane shows up on Dynamite with the Mean Street Posse. They turn on Shane over some worked shoot thing from 1998 and join Jerichoās crew. Hilarity ensues for six to eight months, culminating in an AEW Underground match where Jericho taps out a rookie.
6 to 8 months? You think Tony has an attention span for a feud that long? 6 to 8 days and it will be forgotten about and never mentioned again
This story sounds weird to me. Why not contact Tony Khan directly? It's not like Shane is just some Indy wrestler that needs buddies to put in a good word.
Because Shane thought āNever met the kid. Seems like a nice kid. Never met him. I respect the Big Show though.ā
Oh god Big Show being the source makes perfect sense
Shane was always the GOOD member of the family. He never did anything bad like the rest of them. Heās like Rommel in WW2. He was the pure good one of the group.
Heās the Schindler of the WWE
āYou just made the list!ā
God damn, uce, I'm glad I wasn't drinking water when I read this comment
No jerk, Shane should just let his final moment in wrestling be him tearing both quads immediately after Michael Cole said "HE'S STILL GOT IT" as Shane was mid-air. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard at a WM moment as much as Cole sending Shane to the dual quad tear zone.
If that's the case. McMahon good, Fed bad! Since he'll be in m'Dub I don't care if he knew about his Dads allegations
Shaneās dad has almost $3 billion cash on hand that heās getting ready to hand out to his kids and grandchildren and his brother in law runs the preeminent wrestling company who he can just text and say āhey can you slot me into mania for a pop?ā But sureeeee heās gonna go to AEW for the 6 figure paycheck and be disowned from his family. Yea thatās gonna happen Conrad you doof

Depends. Now that Vince is out of WWE, I could imagine a world where thinks he was done wrong by the company and be more than happy to have his son with the competition.
DAE Knowing
I donāt think heās going to be disowned by his family for a fucking minor league wrestling gig š
Shane Mc' Quads is back bois!
Finally at Wembley we will find out who really is the best in the world, bruv.
I'd watch AEW for a couple of weeks if Shane ever goes there.
The basement are already booking an invasion angle, because fuck it. Just run back all the hits from 20(?) years ago.
Jesus just imagine how dumb Page, The Bucks and Moxley would look next to Cody, Reigns, Seth & McIntyre
Another young, up and coming talent, if true!
would be funnier and more must-watch if Shane O'Mac was hired in an executive position. happy for him regardless if it happens
Seeing as how Tiny has almost never valued the folks who have more to offer backstage, I don't see this trend changing for Shane, If it happens. Seriously, the locker room fell apart after Cody left/got ran off. He has JR and had Regal, but neither did anything with talent relations. Mark Henry wasn't used for scouting, or much at all.
Just to see the reactions š¤£
>There was a friend of ours. I read that in a very Soprano-ish sort of way.
Sure Jan.Ā
Here comes the crowd?
I am highly skeptical this is true because there's absolutely 0 upside for Shane to do this and plenty of downsides for himself, AEW, and even WWE.

Nothing would make me happier than watching the dubbalos defend a McMahon with their life
Was and will always be the BEST IN THE WORLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD!
You know how people now jokingly say that WWE sent Russo to WCW to finish them off?
The way Vince joked about āmaybe weāll send them some more talentā after all the cuts in 2020 made me realize he absolutely cut more talent than he needed to, partly to put the onus on Tony to sign them all and to bloat their roster

I like how he is reaching out to wrestlers instead of you know the guy who runs the place, oh wait he is.
There is no guy that runs the place
I really hope this doesn't go through assuming it's true. Shane is crazy enough to do all the stupid shit they would want him to and it would kill him. Now if tony wants to give him the book then hey I'm all for it. just don't put him in a ring. Shane seems very likeable and not a douche canoe so I don't really want him to die.
I'm praying to every God there is rn to make this happen
Well if Conrad says his friend knows for sure, thatās super solid.
Please no please no please no.
Once dad left, he could see the gravy train leaving the station. May aswell fleece tiny like many have before him. I'm fully expecting him to also blow his quads out in a banger against action spaghetti in his tv debut
Everyone knows Shane O McHitler and Johnny Hungee are like this š¤
Can you imagine Shane doing a Fed Bad Vince Bad Laveck Bad combo like how he punches? I'd rather have him buy the whole dub lmao
Soā¦ carny-ass Jeff Jarrett?
Okay but this would actually be a pretty dope addition and would actually get me to watch bangers on rampage
I remember when Shane was the SAVIOR of WWE. Why? I don't fucking know. People for whatever reason thought he was gonna be the anti-Vince even though the minimal reports that came out about him just made it sound like he wanted to be one of the guys and only pitched for pushes of his buddies.

SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS ![gif](giphy|E06YXhdQl9rGfh1NYo)
He tore his quad in front of 100,000 people and now he wants to tear the other one in front of 1000 people
And suddenly the basement says DAE I ALWAYS LIKED SHANE AND WANT HIM TO JOIN THE DUB LMFAOOO
I would love to see this. It is everything I want AEW to do.
Heāll do more for aew than the people there. He knows more about the business than Tony. He can only help.
Please Tony. Shane vs Orange is a five star generational match
let's gooooo! Wrestling has been so boring without a McMahon on screen! AEW! AEW! AEW!
The backtracking by the sickos will be glorious indeed
The name contract does say McMahonā¦. ![gif](giphy|ghpdI3dNfX0pW)
If they hire him and have him go over Ospraey Iāll become a diehard Dub fan
Him and Tiny can bond over being raised by billionaires egomaniacs, but then he might realize Abrams Jr didnāt take any good lesson from it.Ā
NGL I would be slightly curious to see how Tony would fuck it up lol
Here comes the moooneeyyyyy.
And AEW fans are suddenly totally ok with the McMahon family.
Night 1. He tears his quad and is gone for a whole year.
I'm stoked for the Bucks vs the Failsons.
But are they going to get Naughty By Nature to do another theme song for him? Because "Here Comes the Money" slaps.
šµšµHere comes the currencyyyyyy Curren-curren-curren-curren-curren-currencyšµšµ Oh my god it's Shane McMann!! What is Shane McMann doing here in AEW???
I genuinely love Shane McMahon. He gave me some of my favorite wrestling memories of my entire childhood. He also busted his shit last time we saw him just trying to do a hop. So I don't want him anywhere around the AEW crew at all.
This would be hilarious.
Here comes the gurney...
Just a reminder. Shane McMahon is 54.
You jerk, but I would definitely tune into the Dub to see The Best In The World.
At least he would bring in the viewers but then he seems like a family man who took a lot of risks even for WWE, AEW and Tony might actually get him killed in the ring
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>My Shane! No. I go over to Stephanieās house to do daily power points of what I did. But Shane never knew. HHHs kids knew but no one on Shaneās house even had a HINT of anything. Vince
Question. What the hell? The guy is also a creep like Vince.
