Apparently, whatever he did worked. As the series went on, Zack appeared to get more popular around school, until by senior year he had truly become the {{Big Man On Campus}}. The fact that he went from a scrawny runt during freshman year to a more muscular basketball player and track team runner (and his legendary status around school as the LoveableRogue) may have had something to do with it.

On one occasion, when trying to shut down a zany dorm party orchestrated by Zack, she storms into a room that has an angry guard dog in it. The large dog growls and barks at her, and prepares to pounce. McMahon simply gives it an icy glare and says "Dont. Even. ''Think'' about it." The guard dog covers its face and begins whimpering. It's still in this position when she leaves the room.
