Kelly recalls McMahon flipping out about a specific issue and he wanted the issue pulled. The magazines were already distributed and it was too late so they couldn’t do anything about it, and luckily McMahon forgot about it and never mentioned it again.
Kelly talks about working with The Rock. He recalls Rock calling him Hermie (short for hermaphrodite) during backstage interviews, and notes that it was always their goal to make those interviews comical. Jericho points out that Kelly and Jonathan Coachman were characters on the show back in those days, and their backstage interviews were always entertaining.
Kelly says he never had any issues with taping live, except for the night they taped the iconic angle featuring Steve Austin and Brian Pillman at Pillman’s house. He blanked on air and couldn’t come up with the word, “gunshots”. WWE got into a lot of trouble for that angle because they didn’t tell USA Network their plans. The network was not happy with the gun use.
