Shane Sewell Net Worth And Career

The former wrestler has enjoyed success since his debut in the late 1980s. With such a long career that has seen him showcase his talents as a wrestler and then as a referee, one can assume that Shane has amassed a significant amount of wealth. Hence, Shane Sewell’s net worth must be massive.

Likewise, he achieved even more fame after ranking 224th among the top 500 singles wrestlers in the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 500 in 2011. That must have significantly boosted his income.

The 6′ 0″ tall athlete was hired by the TNA to help develop and train upcoming wrestlers while also working as a referee on iMPACT! in 2008. He quickly gained recognition after having multiple altercations with Sheik Abdul Bashir. It all started after Shane clotheslined Bashir after the latter’s attack.

The feud continued during Bashir’s fight with Eric Young, in November 2008. Sheik attacked Sewell which resulted in him removing his referee shirt and shoving the wrestler down to the floor. The aftermath became Young pinning down Bashir and winning the title. Furthermore, after another confrontation with the wrestler, the referee was fired on January 8, 2009, but the association announced that the two would be fighting in an event.

Shane also had a series of confrontations with superstars such as Booker T and Kurt Angle, among others, but was released from the company on May 22, 2009. He joined the WWC again and took part in the Puerto Rico Heavyweight and Universal Heavyweight Championships bouts. After that, he only focused on his refereeing career.

With all the success from the projects, Sewell has managed to set quite a reputation for himself. He also owns and operates a wrestling school in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Likewise, an average salary of a wrestling referee is $50,000 to $70,000, so Shane must earn around that range. Thus, Shane Sewell’s net worth must be immense.
