10 Most Shocking McMahon Family WWE Moments

6. Shane "Buys" WCW

The McMahon family knows all about adversity. They have faced some of the toughest times that any pro wrestling family has ever known and the attacks seem to come all the time. Whether those attacks come from the talent, the competition or from the government itself, the McMahon clan has seen it all. When WWE bought out longtime rival WCW in 2001, the McMahon family finally saw its most recent source of adversity finally come to an end. Knowing that their biggest competitor was out of business and it was time to finally celebrate success, the McMahons wasted little time in capitalizing on the moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rUiBq7uiP0 WWE ran one of its biggest angles to date when Shane McMahon showed up on that final edition of Nitro, closing out the program with a true shocker; he had purchased WCW. The move capped off perhaps the most monumental night in pro wrestling history with Vince on one program and Shane on the other. The McMahons had not only surprised the world with buying out WCW, they also developed an entire new storyline with Shane to keep the crowd hooked. No one can provide controversy and keep the fans entertained like the McMahon family and they proved it once again with this shocking angle.
