In an interview with The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, This Was The XFL director Charlie Ebersol, the son of NBC’s Dick Ebersol, commented on a variety of topics, including his working relationship with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

“I’ve known Vince since I was four years old and we go years without seeing each other and I’ll figure out a way to get over to Stamford or get to a RAW so I can hang out with him a little bit but it is a very different experience interviewing him. The challenge with an interview is that you have to press him so he’ll go to the places you want him to go and I’ve never been in a position where I’ve been pressing my father or Vince McMahon very much at all. It was a very nerve-wracking day.

I interviewed my father and the very next day did Vince and that night we did the dinner, so in 48 hours I did both of them and the dinner and it was an extraordinarily anxiety filled day but here is the thing about Vince. He is brutally honest and he’s not really afraid to talk about anything. On some level I felt a certain degree of responsibility to maintain a level of decorum in asking the questions and not going off on tangents because God knows there was about 800,000 things I wanted to ask him about. But I wanted to make a film about a specific thing, so I got through my questions I was asking him and had an additional fifth-teen others since we had a little bit more time.”
