On a recent episode of his podcast, Something To Wrestle, Bruce Prichard opened up about Shane McMahon’s time doing commentary for Sunday Night Heat. Prichard said that it was Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn’s idea for Shane to do commentary:

“Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were behind that because they wanted a young and different look,” said Prichard. “Shane McMahon was coming into the business. Shane was young and had the look that they were looking for. Young, good looking guy who grew up in the business; third generation, so why not? Give him a shot man.” H/T: WrestlingInc

Prichard also explained how having Shane out there doing commentary was a way to get him out there for the audience:

“It was in his genes and in his DNA, so it was time to teach Shane McMahon that aspect of the business. Shane was doing play by play, he did color and analysis. There was a lot of training that he did for this, but it was a new experiment to get Shane McMahon out there for the audience.” H/T: WrestlingInc
