WWE recorded a segment of Vince McMahon parody with Pat McAfee for Throwback Smackdown. Actually, that segment was set to open the show but it was cancelled later. But fans got to see that segment little later on.
On the recent edition of Pat McAfee Show, Pat McAfee discussed about the Vince McMahon parody segment. He stated that he had to shave his face for that segment and also had wig on his head. Lot of people at backstage felt this is awesome and would be remembered but later it was got cancelled to show on TV.
“On Friday, to commit to a bit of being Vince McMahon on SmackDown Throwback, I was bullied into shaving my face. Michael Cole was one of the leaders of that bullying. I thought it was Be A Star. Michael Cole goes, ‘You could commit and shave your face.’ Cole had an awesome look as well, which didn’t make it to air. He had the frosted tips and he committed to 1999 Michael Cole. We had the wig, which was too small for my head and it felt like my forehead was in a rear-naked choke. We had the suit, the tie, I wore dress shoes for the first time.”
“A lot of people in WWE were like, ‘this is awesome. We’ll remember this and you doing it for the character and the bit.’ I shaved, it looked terrible. I got makeup on, we shot a bunch of sh*t. I did an entire Vince McMahon thing. Immediately following, literally, as soon as I walked off-screen, Foxy [McAfee Show Video Producer Evan Fox] gets a text from someone that works at WWE [saying] ‘hang tight.’ I go, ‘Oh, Vince is coming?’ No, that’s not the case. They come out and everything has been canceled. I walk back into the building and everyone who was motivating me to shave my face, they heard about what happened, and were like, ‘Sorry, so sorry, it’ll grow back.’ FOUR DAYS! NOTHING! THAT BEARD WAS OLDER THAN JESUS F*CKING CHRIST! I look like I’m twelve.” (H/T: Ringside News)
