Wrestling101.com interview
Korderas talks about working for McMahon in WWE:
Vince is actually a great boss, because Vince is the kind of guy that wouldn’t ask guys to do something that he wouldn’t do. Vince has pretty much done everything in the business leading to him becoming chairman and he installed that into his son Shane. When Shane began working for the company he worked with every part of the company, he helped out the ring crew, he refereed, it’s not like the family are strangers to hard work.
