HISTORY: KING OF THE RING - JUNE 27TH, 1999
Vince McMahon said that since Shane McMahon cannot compete, then he will have a ‘suitable replacement’ tonight. Commissioner Shawn Michaels came out and tried to overturn but ended up getting manipulated. Ladder Match for Control of the WWF: Shane McMahon & Vince McMahon defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin A briefcase hung above the ring, holding documents that would make the winner the CEO of the WWF. Vince McMahon introduced Steve Blackman as his “suitable replacement” for the injured Shane McMahon. A hidden camera showed Shane McMahon and the Mean Street Posse gloating about outsmarting Commissioner HBK. Shane tried to bolt out of the arena but Shawn Michaels caught him and dragged him to the ring. Michaels ordered Steve Blackman to return backstage and Shane McMahon to get in the ring and compete. There were about twenty ladders elaborately stacked in the ilseway which eventually were used as weapons in the match. Steve Austin laid out both McMahons and purposely collapsed the entire stack of ladders on top of them. Austin crashed Shane through the spanish announce table with a rattlesnake elbow off the ladder. Vince pushed Austin off a ladder, causing him to bounce off a second announce table. Vince climbed the ladder and almost got his hand on the briefcase before Austin slammed him off, Austin was about to win the match when someone raised the briefcase out of his reach. A few minutes later, Shane climbed up the ladder as the briefcase was conveniently lowered for him. Pre-match stipulations forced Austin to relinquish his position as CEO of the WWF back to the McMahons. View Captures \| Download Video (Match)

ARTICLE: SHANE BUYS INTO CRICKET GROUP
Shane McMahon has firmly left the world of wrestling behind — and moved into cricket and golf. Vince's son — and until last year the head of international operations for WWE — is part of a consortium who have made a multi-million pound investment into International Sports Management. ISM are the agency who look after England cricket heroes Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison, as well as golfers Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and Ernie Els. Shane's partners in the investment include the founders of Setanta Sports. The group hope McMahon's money and know-how will help them grow in the States. Flintoff may also ask Shane's advice about one day entering the WWE. He's previously remarked how he'd love to become a wrestler once his cricket career is over. Source

BUSINESS WEEK ARTICLE ON LINDA'S SENATE RUN
There's an article up at BusinessWeek.com which chronicles Linda McMahon's run for the U.S. Senate. There are mentions of the rest of the McMahon family in the article, those including Shane are quoted below: The biggest heel of the attitude era, as the story developed, was Vince McMahon himself. He played a caricature of a Machiavellian wrestling league boss and occasionally descended into the ring to do battle with his archenemy, Steve Austin. Over time, the rest of the McMahon family got into the act. Son Shane, who in his day job headed the company's digital strategy, once took a 50-foot leap from scaffolding to the ring during a fight with the wrestler The Lethal Weapon. Daughter Stephanie, now the company's vice-president for creative development and operations, played a rebellious brat who cavorted with the hated Hunter Hearst Helmsley, or Triple H, and was often serenaded by crowds chanting "slut, slut, slut." With the prize within reach, the whole McMahon family—which has stayed far in the background for the campaign—appeared on the floor. Vince was there, spry and broad-shouldered in a light gray suit, and so were Triple H and Stephanie, looking very pregnant with the couple's third child, and Shane, who recently left the WWE and has been rumored to be exploring several sports-related investments. Swarmed by cameras, the clan clustered around Linda in disciplined silence, ignoring all questions from the throng. The full article can be read here.
