BAW

STAMFORD, CT – Shane McMahon, Executive Vice President of Global Media, announced today he has tendered his resignation effective January 1, 2010.

This was prompted by...

a)yesterday, while stepping out of the shower he thought: hey, wait a second. I'm super rich. I'm working why?

b)Jesus, who re-hired Chris Masters?

c)his pact with Todd Grisham to run away to a cottage on Maine's seacoast. They'll run a small antique/wine shop in a touristy little town, and on off-season weekends they'll go for long bike rides while wearing brightly colored windbreakers. They'll be so happy, co-chairing the town's summer festival; Todd's book club will the be literary highlight of the area (and responsible for double the sales of Glimmer Train, at the nearest B&N); Shane's special blend mulling spices will revive a local orchard (eat local!). Happy, until a secret from Todd's past threatens to ruin everything they've built...

In some ways, he lasted longer than I ever thought he would.

Clearly he and Matt are leaving wrestling behind to open a restaurant specializing in gourmet junk food, but I'll give you Maine.

B. I KNOW RIGHT? I think I actually yelled, "Who gave him his job back?!" at the last show I was at...

this news makes me feel like the universe has inverted or something.

I love your McMahon/Grisham fanfic. It's possibly the cutest image anyone has conjured up for me in ages.

While I wish him loads of relaxation time and a job where he isn't the only sane person in a ten-mile radius, I still maintain that that is NOT ON. Who is going to jump off fifty-foot setpieces? Who will do the whitest white boy dance in existence?

I am deeply perplexed by this.

I'm still in facepalm mode over what that means to the company. I'm picturing a distant future where Steph's the sole head of creative without anyone about to edit her.
