Update On Shane McMahon's Backstage Role In WWE!

[Outsiders]

Shane McMahon, who previously was only involved in WWE's internet projects, has taken a more active role in the creative process in recent weeks. Shane has been sitting in on meetings and throwing out a bunch of suggestions.

 

Shane has been credited for putting the Floyd Mayweather deal together. Shane is also said to be responsible for the recent South American tour and has spearheaded an effort to get the company into China.

 

It's worth noting that Stephanie McMahon is getting ready to take her maternity leave, and Shane could be making an effort to fill her position while she's gone. Whether he gets the spot or not will likely reveal itself by a change in the style of booking we see on TV, as Shane has a different vision for the creative end of the company.

I have a lot of respect for Shane. I foresee good things happening in WWE if he gets some creative control.

One thing that worries me about Shane getting a great deal of power is that Shane is all for international exploration and international business. It's nice to have one or two major tours like that a year. But, Shane was the guy behind the rumors of international territories and splitting up an already thin roster in order to appeal to the ethnic groups when pushing the international brands of WWE. Ideas like that do not have me enjoying the idea of Shane in power.

 

I respect Shane as a performer/character/etc. But, I wonder about his business sense.
