Shane McMahon was a member of the commentary team on Sunday Night Heat alongside Jim Cornette. Ina recent episode of his podcast, Something To Wrestle With, Bruce Prichard revealed that it was all Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn’s idea for Shane to do commentary.
This is what he said:
“Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were behind that because they wanted a young and different look, Shane McMahon was coming into the business. Shane was young and had the look that they were looking for. Young, good-looking guy who grew up in the business; third generation, so why not? Give him a shot man.”
“It was in his genes and in his DNA, so it was time to teach Shane McMahon that aspect of the business. Shane was doing play by play, he did color and analysis. There was a lot of training that he did for this, but it was a new experiment to get Shane McMahon out there for the audience.”
Shane did a good job on commentary for his time on Heat, in our opinion.
