WWE 2006: The McMahon Legacy

[Bonafide_Bluffa]

It was in late May 2005 that my father passed away. The greatest legend in all of pro wrestling – Vincent Kennedy McMahon, passed away. Almost a year later, it’s up to me, Shane McMahon, to carry on my father’s legacy.

 

We’ve had some ups and downs. Just after a month after my father died, the wrestling industry seemed to be losing steam, and the popularity of WWE itself wavered. We lost a lot of fans, and lost a lot of money, but we’re getting on the right track.

 

The WWE is continuing to grow, and hopefully one day I can do my father proud and make the WWE more popular than ever.
