Long emphatically stated, "It was never like that — you got to understand one thing, this is the boss's son. And the other thing, Shane McMahon worked his butt off. He got in there, he took bumps and got injuries, and everything.
I mean backstage, he was one of the boys."

As a result, no one had any problem with him. Long added, "Shane knew how to present himself to everybody, so everybody liked Shane." Long also had praise for McMahon's sister, Stephanie, noting that she, too, treated everyone with kindness and respect.
