Vince McMahon is promoting a show that is coming up where he lists the matches about to happen. The Chairman looks almost unrecognizable in this clip.

Yes, in fact, when Vince worked for his father, his primary role was as a commentator and an announcer. McMahon knew very well how to sell and call the matches that were on schedule. Vince did not leave this role even after he purchased the company from his father.

For more than two decades, starting from the 1970s to 1997, Vince McMahon was extremely involved in the commentary team. He spent many years as the lead commentator for WWE shows, especially during the 1990s. However, after 1997, when his on-screen character as the evil boss picked up steam, he slowly gave up commentary.
