Another major feud that was built up in the lead to WrestleMania was the one involving Vince McMahon and his son Shane McMahon. Shane Brandon McMahon (born January 15 1970 Shane has served as Executive Vice President of WWE Global Media overseeing International Television Distribution Live Event bookings The feud started with Vince's disapproval of Mick Foley's job as then-WWF commissioner as well as Foley's decision of holding a six-man Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon 2000, taking into consideration about the well-being of the wrestlers involved in the match.
