The rumour mill says McMahon had had a sexual relationship with Shawn Michaels. The mill only really consists of Road Warrior Hawk, who had an axe to grind with WWE at the time, so it could easily be nonsense. However, HBK did seem to get away with a lot during his infamously petulant days of the mid-90s things that Hogan, Austin and Cena may not have. Was there a reason for this favourable treatment? Bret Hart seemed to refute those claims by stressing that McMahon rarely partied with the locker room and kept his distance, yet he later admitted to a strong hunch about the rumours when interviewed on radio.
