Not literally, of course; that grisly fate will befall the man on Sunday, after he plunges 20 feet through the air.

No, it was revealed this week by the New York Times that McMahon invested in a company named EnviroGrow, the M.O. of which was to capitalise on the multi-state legalisation of cannabis. Unfortunately for McMahon, the company didn't really exist. He recently visited the premises, only to determine that it was "virtually nonexistent". McMahon is like a big kid in many ways, insisting on performing his own motion capture in the WWE2K videos to enable his dreams of being a wrestler - something he could do full-time, but never mind - so it stands to reason that he bought a bag of magic beans. The Trump regime, of which Shane's mother Linda is a part, strongly opposes legalisation on a federal level. So he probably got a slap on the botty to boot.

To be fair, it was a sound investment on Shane's part. You'd have to be f*cking high to buy him as the hardest man in WWE.
