If you watched the ESPN documentary on the XFL, you may recall the story about the big prime time game from the second week that experienced technical difficulties as a result of somebody forgetting to fill the generator with gasoline. It was such a Mickey Mouse-operation blunder, and you could hear the murky grumble in McMahon's voice when he added his modern perspective on it.

This item isn't even in that league, but it belongs on the list of "gaffes that lent major McMahon productions a bush league feel." Only three "WrestleMania XI" apron banners had arrived for the show, thus the apron opposite the hard camera was fitted with the era-standard blue skirt adorned with WWF logos.

It's only visible at a point where Shawn Michaels leads Jenny McCarthy around ringside before his World Title match, but it's a safe bet that somebody got a Vinnie Mac tongue-lashing over that.
