"Adam Pearce recorded me one time and I forget who it was. It was some talent I'm working with and I'm on headset, and I'm going through the emotions with them. I'm like arrgh, I'm doing all this crazy s**t, and he's sitting over there filming me on his iPhone. I really didn't know I was doing it, I was just so into it and trying to give him my energy to do whatever it was that we weren't. Yes, I really get into it when I'm on headset sometimes."

Shane Helms also spoke about his role as a WWE producer

During the same discussion, Helms spoke about how rewarding his time with WWE as a producer has been.He mentioned that he was happier to see young talent getting their moment than he ever was for himself.

"As a producer, I will be so excited on that headset when it goes good and these guys are out there killing it, especially people that haven't had a moment yet and they are. I am more happier for them walking through that curtain than I was walking for myself walking through the curtain," Helms said. "That's the one thing that caught me off guard. I thought I would enjoy this job, I didn't think I would love it and I absolutely do." [9:55 - 10:25]
