10 things you probably did not know about Shane McMahon

Sibling love was strong

#9 Shane was supposed to run WCW and ECW

Imagine that

Though Shane was associated with WWE for nearly two decades, he never got the chance to head the promotion. Shane was always working under his father in WWE. Shane apparently wanted to run a promotion on his own, and this is why he pounced on the opportunity to head WCW. When WWE acquired WCW, there was a talk within the company to run WCW as a separate promotion with Shane as the head.

Unfortunately, this idea was shot down. Later, when WWE wanted to relaunch ECW, Shane presented the idea of showing ECW as an online show. Vince thought that having ECW as a television show would be more interesting and snatched control from Shane’s hand.
