Declan McMahon, the 18-year-old son of Shane McMahon, recently spoke with The Indy Star and commented on possibly getting into wrestling, growing up around the business, and more.
We reported yesterday here on eWn that Declan McMahon announced his commitment to play football for Indiana University. Declan currently plays quarterback at Poly Prep Country Day High School in Brooklyn, New York.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On possibly getting into wrestling: “I’ve tried it in my house. I have two younger brothers, so if we’re joking around I’ll pick them up and throw them on the couch. I’m going in with the mindset that I’ll cross that bridge when we get there. So right now no plans yet, but down the road, who knows? If I have to jump off a cage like my father, maybe that’s what I’ll do.”
On his thoughts on growing up around the business: “As a kid it’s been great because you get to look up to guys you look at as superheroes. Then you see them come home and they’re banged up. They don’t really look like heroes when they’re your parents. Just being around everybody, I think it’s helped me build my character, just being mature as a young age.”
So proud to be Declan’s father.
Hard work pays off. Go Hoosiers! https://t.co/H2MGHGG9I1— Shane McMahon (@shanemcmahon) April 7, 2022
