Vince McMahon is back on TV regularly while WWE is on the road to WrestleMania, and he’s shared on-air time with his son for the first time in over six years. The WWE Chairman told The Orlando Sentinel that it’s been awesome having Shane back, but that “it can be very difficult” working with his son.

“It’s been awesome. I was hoping that one day we might get back together. It’s difficult. Fathers and sons sometimes, in the same business at a certain stage, it can be very difficult,” Vince explained to Brian Fritz of the Orlando Sentinel. “You love each other just as much but you see things a little differently. You have the old bull and the young bull and the old bull is not ready to give it up, his horns are still sharp. It’s great that Shane is back. Whether or not there’s a corporate place, we’ll wait and see. From a performer standpoint, I so enjoy performing with him. And when the three of us are out there, Stephanie and Shane and me, and throw in Paul because that has happened in the past, oh my God! We could stay out there and entertain each other, much less the audience, for an hour. It would be easy. It’s just so much fun because we can ad-lib and entertain ourselves. I think if you are entertaining yourselves and you’re having fun, that projects and the audience is having fun with you.”

In the same interview, which took place after Tuesday’s WrestleMania 33 press conference in Orlando, Vince admitted he prefers working behind-the-scenes to being in front of the camera.

“I much prefer to produce and direct, much prefer that,” Vince said. “This storyline allowed me that opportunity and sort of pushed me that way. I don’t know how much you’re going to see of me because I’d rather be producing and directing. Again, there are only so many bumps and so forth that anybody can take. I’m willing to take them obviously. I always said to talent that I would never ask you to do anything that I wouldn’t do, which I’ve lived up to.”
