When Photo Shoot opens up, we see a photo showing Shane working for WWE as far back as 1982 when he was just 12 years of age. That photo would be from an edition of Tuesday Night Titans.

As McMahon explained how he was prepared to do “whatever it took” to help out his father’s company, we then see an awesome photo of a young Shane sitting with Tony Chimel.

Shane O’Mac added how he worked with Chimel on a whole host of smaller parts of the larger then-WWF machine. The future self-proclaimed Best in the World discussed how he used to help set up the ring, how’d he work as a timekeeper, how he’d be responsible for hitting audio cues, and even taking jackets and other accessories of performers as they were getting set to square off with an opponent. This in addition to Shane even serving as a referee for a spell.

Make no mistake about it, Shane McMahon is somebody who literally grew up in the wrestling business and wore a multitude of hats in doing so.
