NEWS UPDATES ON SHANE'S RESIGNATION
WWE executive Shane McMahon's sudden departure from WWE, effective January 1, is still a mystery to many people in WWE. One former WWE writer put it like this: "I think it could be one of a hundred things. But only two people know. Shane and Vince." Jim Ross tried to quiet down speculation by saying there is no new information on Shane's departure after WWE pulled a "hit and run" by dropping a major news item on a Friday, then waiting for it blow over after the weekend. "No one knows why Shane seemingly abruptly decided to leave the family business and I don't feel that any one will know the reason until he declares what his next venture will be," Ross said on jrsbarbq.com. Source: PWTorch.com There's nothing new to report on Shane McMahon's resignation from WWE. I've spoken with a number of people and no one knows why he resigned or what's next for Shane. Multiple sources have stated their opinion that Shane was never going to get the keys to the castle and are speculating that this could have played a part in his decision, but nothing is official. There are still some sources who believe it's related to his mother's campaign, but even that is just speculation.

MORE ON SHANE IN J.R.'S LATEST BLOG
No website has any definitive news on why Shane McMahon resigned from his family's company, WWE, on Friday. Perhaps more news sites will elaborate on this matter come Monday as Friday is always the best day to drop big news as sometimes it gets somewhat lost on the weekend. Nonetheless no one knows why Shane seemingly abruptly decided to leave the family business and I don't feel that any one will know the reason until he declares what his next venture will be. Shane has a great formal education not to mention years of "on the job" training since starting out on the ring crew as a teen during the summers. I know Shane has many interests and who's to say that he simply wants to reassess where he is in his life and spend more time with his family which includes two sons? Until Shane himself makes an official statement as to what he is going to tee up next, then every thing any one can read, report or write about is pure speculation. Shane has excellent people skills and a unique skill set in a one of a kind genre that employs basic promotional and organization skills that should be transferable to many businesses.

NEWS ON SHANE'S WWE ROLE AND HIS DEPARTURE
Even though Shane McMahon is resigning from his WWE post next year, he is continuing to work his day-to-day role, which indicates there was no underlying reason why he quit. Incidently, close friends of Shane McMahon are unaware what he will do next. McMahon has apparently remained pleasant and comfortable in his role as WWE's EVP of Global Media, showing no indications that he will have trouble working for WWE has he prepares for his January 2010 departure. While that does seem to rule out the idea that he had some sort of major blowup with his family, sources are also quick to question reports that he is leaving specifically to work with mother Linda McMahon on her Senatorial campaign. While he may very well contribute to the political effort, the feeling is that something else motivated his resignation. As his resignation was viewed as unexpected internally and was not labeled as related to Linda's Senate campaign in WWE's press release, logic--in addition to the words of sources close to the situation--says that the political campaign was not the sole driver. Source: lordsofpain.net There's also an interesting report that's been posted on a number of news sites with a former assistant of Stephanie's commenting on the relationships between the McMahon's and the departure of Shane. Former Stephanie McMahon assistant shares first-hand perspective on Shane McMahon working in WWE and leaving the company \| Read Article According to F4WOnline.com, the above perspective has been heavily ripped by numerous past WWE employees and insiders. Their report says that numerous insiders dismissed the Witt analysis as incorrect. One said his opinion would be the exact opposite, several others disagreed, and only one was willing to accept the Witt side of the story. Source: lordsofpain.net

MORE NEWS ON SHANE LEAVING WWE
To say those working for World Wrestling Entertainment were shocked when the announcement came that Shane McMahon was leaving the company at the beginning of the year would be a huge understatement. There was no notice to anyone, not even those working directly under McMahon, that this was brewing. There's been no definitive word as to McMahon's future plans, but the general expectation within WWE has been that Shane must be going to work with his mother, Linda, on her Senatorial bid for the State of Connecticut. Again, that is conjecture from some within the company, not hard fact. Credit: PWInsider.com The latest on Shane McMahon leaving WWE is that it is legit, and not a storyline. WWE issued a press release on their corporate website, which gives the departure more creditability that this in fact true. There is no word on why Shane left the company. Vince has come down hard on his son over the past several years and it could have played a part. It could also be possible that he wanted to pursue other interests. Shane is a huge mixed martial arts fan and has tried to convince his father to get involved in the market a few years ago. He could join an existing MMA promotion or launch his own company. Most within the company seem to think Shane left so he can join his mother Linda McMahon during her U.S. Senate campaign, and to avoid upsetting WWE’s shareholders while helping with the campaign. "Unless he's going to fund a vanity venture, all signs point to him helping his mother (with the campaign)," said one former WWE employee. "She needs some backup." Credit: ProWrestling.net
