5 backstage things that happen during Raw and SmackDown Live

Vince in charge

Vince McMahon, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are in-charge of the entire production of a show

Come hell or high water, Vince McMahon is backstage during Raw and SD Live directing traffic from the comfort of gorilla position. Whenever anyone goes through to the live audience in the arena, Vince is there, either to celebrate their success or berate them for something they’ve done wrong.

The boss also has a headset on throughout the shows so that he can speak to the commentators. So the next time you’re listening to Michael Cole and he makes a mistake, just remember that he has to deal with Vinnie Mac himself yelling instructions to him for the better part of three hours.

Poor old Kevin Dunn.
