Shane McMahon leaves WWE!!!
Wow...You know, this year has been full of some shocking wrestling news, but I think this might take the cake.
From PWInsider:

Statement from Shane:
It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation from the WWE, effective January 1, 2010.
I have never even considered a future outside the walls of the WWE. However, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn and while it is the most difficult decision I have ever made, it is time for me to move on.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my father for the incredible education working with him has provided and for giving me the opportunity to play a role in building WWE into the global phenomenon that it is today. I am extremely proud to have been the 4th generation in this business, and I am grateful for everyday I was able to work along side not only my own, but the entire WWE family.
Thank you to all of the WWE Superstars both past and present for your passion, pride and dedication. You are truly the engine of the organization and it has been a pleasure to work with, learn from and get to know all of you. Thank you for the privilege of sharing the stage with you and for allowing me to become but a momentary member of your elite brotherhood. I have so much appreciation for the many sacrifices you endure, both physically and personally, to make this business the success that it is. The respect I have for each of you is immeasurable.
Finally, there are no words to express my gratitude to WWE fans the world over for supporting this company through good times and bad and for your unbridled passion that fuels the Superstars’ performances. I am profoundly grateful to have been able to entertain you both in front of the camera and from behind the scenes. You are the greatest fans in the world.
I will always love this business and will remain a fan forever.
Shane

Re: Shane McMahon leaves WWE!!!
So what do you guys think the future holds for the other McMahon child?
I've read that he has disagreed with Vince and Stephanie (and Trips) regarding the creative direction of the company at times. Could he be in the market for his own promotion? He certainly has the money. Or he could be leaving to work with Linda on her campaign. Either way, this is interesting.

I do wonder what he is going to do. He will come back to the WWE sometime though.
Vince and Linda can't run the company for ever.

Well technically Linda isn't even running the company anymore. And let's be honest here, at this point Steph and Trips are the next in line to take over. I think this is a case of Shane getting out while he still has time to establish his own name (be it in wrestling or in another field) since he'll never have a major say in WWE.
While I know it is unlikely, I'd love to see Shane start a promotion. He has always seemed like the one McMahon who gets it with wrestling and is a real fan. If ECW had been relaunched the way he proposed, it would be a much different thing then simply the "C" brand of WWE right now.

I've heard the MMA rumor too. Meh, that wouldn't do much for me. I don't enjoy MMA at all.
