Shane O’Mac is arguably the most beloved of all McMahons due to his connection with the audience. Though after Shane’s controversial booking in the Royal Rumble 2022 match, it was reported that WWE released him, this wasn’t the case. In the global juggernaut’s SEC filing, it was revealed that Shane McMahon was paid a handsome $828,000 in 2022 for his services as an independent contractor.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast hosted by Mac Davis, Bill Apter looked back at his equation with Shane O’Mac. Apter disclosed that when Shane was in charge of WWE’s website and magazine, there were confrontations between the company and the media.
He recalled that since WWE had its own publication, other outlets weren’t granted much access to exclusive interviews. However, Bill Apter made it clear he didn’t hold anything against the 52-year-old. Apter said he was like his father, Vince McMahon, when it came down to business.
