On the latest edition of his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley shared his experience working backstage as a WWE producer. He revealed that Vince McMahon had a distinct way of reacting when he was unhappy with a match.

According to D-Von, McMahon’s signature response was to shout, “God damn it!” followed by a forceful “This is not what I wanted!” His reaction was a clear sign of frustration when things didn’t go as planned in the ring.

D-Von said, “If he didn’t like the match, he would take the headset off, put it on the table, look at you, and say, ‘Come here, why did you do such and such? What was the reasoning for that?’ And you’d have to explain it to him, why you did what you did. He would either say, ‘Okay, I see that,’ or he would say, ‘No, that is not what I wanted, this is what I wanted.’ And you would have to deal with it.”

He continued, “Ninety percent of the time, the producer would be the one to get blamed. I used to always say, ‘Listen, once they step through the curtain, I can’t hold their hands. If we give them the vision in the back and then they decide to go another route, I can’t stop that from happening. That’s something that the big boss would have to reprimand them for.’”
