Remember those old gravelly-voiced promos Vince McMahon would cut over the top of WWF action? Well, it turns out that Shane was the one producing most of them from the comfort of a plush suite in the company-owned 'Edit 1' studios back in the day.

Those sessions were often brutal.

Shane would stop his father mid-rant when he thought he wasn't putting enough energy into a performance, or if he heard an inflection he didn't like. Vince, rather predictably, was never too happy about being stopped, and would shout something like, 'Damn it! What is it now?'.

Hilariously, Vince would try to produce Shane whilst Shane was producing him. That might be the most VKM thing ever, to be honest. Shane does remember so many valuable one-to-one conversations outside the back of the studios with his dad mid-session too.
