Tribeca Houses Wrestling Big
Shane McMahon Gets the 'F' Out of Greenwich

By Blair Golson

       Last August, a London judge decided that the U.K.-based World Wildlife Fund had first dibs on the acronym "W.W.F." It was bad news for the World Wrestling Federation, which responded in May by changing its name to World Wrestling Entertainment. They're now issuing T-shirts that read "Get the 'F' out."
       That works for W.W.E. heir apparent and sometime wrestler Shane McMahon, who just sold his place in Connecticut and bought a $4 million Tribeca penthouse loft.
       "Just like out company name changed. I just got the 'F' out of Greenwich," Mr. McMahon told The Observer. "Our quality of life has increased immensely since moving...Instead of three restaurants, you have 3,000."
       The 32-year-old Mr McMahon is the son of Vince McMahon, the W.W.E.'s bodyslamming, blood-fueding chief executive, who is primarily responsible for professional wrestling's explosive growth during the past two decades. The entire McMahon clan--including Vince and wife Linda, and Shane and his sister Stephanie--make regular appearances in the ring, as characters in a wrestling soap opera that revolves aroun control of the W.W.E.
       In reality, its one big happy family. The same's true of Mr. McMahon's relationship with Jesse (formerly "the Body", now "the Mind") Ventura, who parlayed his fame on the mat into a successful gubernatorial bid in 1998 in Minnesota.
       In 1999, when Mr. Ventura made a controversial return to the ring as referee, Shane McMahon got a lot of national attention by getting thrown out of the ring by the wrestler turned governor.
       "Jesse and I go way back," Mr. McMahon told The Observer. "I used to take Jesse's ring jackets when I was a kid, and then being in the ring with him--it's funny how life works out."
       The way lifes working out for Mr. McMahon right now, he's reverse-commuting from Tribeca to the W.W.E.'s headquarters in Stamford, Conn., each day, and reveling in the downtown culture.
       "I love it down there," he said. "It's part of the city where you don't feel that you're in the city. Its more of a neighborhood--thats why my wife and I chose to  move back."
       Mr. McMahon's wife Marissa is a native New Yorker, and he spent two years on the Upper East Side in the mid - 90's. He'd always wanted to move back, but it took him upwards of three years to settle into his new place, mostly because he and a friend, architect Chris Smith, designed his penthouse loft from scratch.
       Citing security concerns--you wouldn't believe the resourcefulness of wrestling fans at location the stars of firmament--Mr. McMahon was mum on many of the details, but he did say that the place has 12-to 15-foot-high ceilings, a 24-hour doorman and "trmendous views and light, not obstructed in any way."
