"I enjoy the hell out of it"- Top WWE commentator on being guided by Vince McMahon during commentary
WWE chairman Vince McMahon was a commentator in the early days of his career. Vince is still famous for being in the ears of his commentators throughout the WWE shows and guiding them.
On the recent episode of his namesake show, Pat McAfee talked about what it's like to have Vince McMahon in his ears all the time. He thanked his three WWE bosses, Bruce Prichard, Kevin Dunn, and WWE chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon:
"They’ve been all very nice to me, and I’m very thankful. Other people probably experienced something different. I’m just gonna tell you — Bruce Prichard is ***king awesome. Kevin Dunn, also awesome he’s in my ear every single show, and by the way, Vince McMahon in my ear? Awesome... There’s other things where sometimes I feel like he is in a groove where he’ll just ask me a question in the middle of the show, and he wants me to answer it live, obviously. Then sometimes Cole will be in the middle of something or even a wrestler will be speaking, and he’s like, ‘Cut them off!’ and I want to tell Cole, I think there’s something much better that could be separate. It’s coming from a voice inside of my brain right now, though. I want to let you know it’s awesome. It is amazing. I enjoy the hell out of it," Pat McAfee added. (H/T- Wrestlezone)

"You know at the end of [SmackDown] because that thing is clipped to my sport coat and it was wrapped around his foot, so I mean it was like dragging me a little bit I’m like ‘Well I’m not gonna deal with this at all,’ and I go running and I put the other one on as soon as I put the headset back on there is a pretty good [Vince laugh] in my ear," McAfee said.
