Shane McMahon Biography

We don't know a whole lot about Shane McMahon. What we do know, however, (or at least what we think we know) we've put here to enhance your Shane McMahon acumen!

Shane Brandon McMahon was born on January 15, 1970 to parents Vince and Linda. Shane stands at 6'2", weighing in at about 230 pounds. Shane's dark brown hair and puppy dog brown eyes have made him a heart throb to many female fans in the World Wrestling Federation. Shane's current title at the WWF is President of New Media (he is believed to play a major role in story line development as well), but he did not start out in the WWF office. Shane started his career at a very young age, promoting the WWF by putting up flyers and posters in stores; Shane also got the distinction of sometimes getting to carry the turnbuckle down to the ring. From age 9 to age 14, Shane cleaned up after WWF events at the Cape Cod Coliseum, which Vince owned at the time (purchased in 1979). At age 19, Shane started refereeing, ring announcing, and constructing then deconstructing the ring. Shane graduated Boston University with a degree in Mass Communications and became a full-time employee as a WWF TV producer in 1994. In July of 1998, Shane joined the announcers' table for Sunday Night Heat. On October 26, 1998, Shane became an official member of the story lines when he debuted on RAW, announcing that he had betrayed his father and hired Stone Cold Steve Austin back into the company (of course, we later found out it was part of a "McMahon master plan"). Shane now lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, with his wife Marissa (believed to have married in 1996) who is the WWF publicist (she also has appeared on "Howard Stern" and had a correspondent job on Livewire, where she went by her maiden name of Mazzola). Shane and Marissa plan to have children in the future. Shane and his sister, Stephanie, are currently working within the WWF with the intention of eventually taking over for their father.

-A very cute and true story from an article on Vince McMahon that appeared in US News and World Report: "One night, when Shane was four years old, he was convinced Dracula was hiding in his closet. No amount of reassurance from his mother, Linda would help, so finally, Vince strolled in, big and bad-like, and headed straight to the closet. After about ten minutes of "fighting" and banging around in the closet, Vince emerged from the closet, sweating and breathing heavy. He walked straight over to his son and said "You don't have to worry anymore, Dracula's dead". Shane promptly fell asleep."
