"You can't see your faces! Get rid of the masks!".

That's something an irate Vince McMahon barked at The Shield when they started wearing some nifty face masks. Mox called them "Sub Zero masks", which is kinda cool, but the WWE boss wasn't having any of that sh*t. McMahon demanded that Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins toss those masks in the trash.

Jon told listeners on the pod that WWE's merchandising department tried to talk Vince into selling replicas at live events. It just wasn't going to happen, and he still believes the company flushed some serious cash down the toilet by refusing to go along with their experimental look.

Later, just to be d*cks, The Shield decided to bust the masks out for another run during a WWE jaunt to Australia. McMahon was reportedly furious when he found out about that, and again read the riot act on the threesome for defying his orders.

Mox still doesn't know why he hated those little masks so much.
