It’s a well-known fact that Vince McMahon is connected to the commentary booth on all the shows and he is infamously known to yell at the members of the commentary team if they do something he doesn’t like.
One such star who has spent one of the longest time on the commentary desk for WWE is Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, however, according to the former Champion, he has never been yelled at by the Boss.
Lawler was recently a guest on The Steve Austin Show and talking about Vince McMahon, he revealed that McMahon has a direct line to almost everybody in the production crew during the shows:
“Vince McMahon is at every TV show and he’s in the back, and he [has] got a set of headphones on and Vince has a row of buttons in front of him and he can punch a button and he can talk to anybody. He can talk to the director; he can talk to the cameraman; he can talk to the referee; he can talk to any one of the three announcers at any given time.”
However, continuing on the topic, he claimed that while he has seen Mr. McMahon yell at other announcers, The Boss has never done the same to him once:
“So he has a huge input throughout the entire show. And yeah, I’ve been in a lot of situations where my [broadcast] partner would really get an earful if he said something that didn’t please Vince. I, on the other hand, over all these years, Steve, it’s unbelievable. Vince has never yelled at me one time. I would go through weeks and weeks of shows where I wouldn’t hear Vince say one word to me.”
