The 1996 Olympic Gold medalist eventually emerged victorious in the end. Vince, who was watching the match backstage, was concerned for his son's well being. 

Shane McMahon vs Kurt Angle: Vince was worried for son

Mike Chioda revealed an instance when Kurt Angle was attempting to put Shane McMahon through the glass but was not successful on several attempts. After his initial attempts, Mike, Vince and the crowd pleaded with Angle not to attempt the move again. Angle ignored the requests and eventually put Shane through the glass. After Shane went crashing through the glass, he was left motionless.

Speaking of the horrific instance, the former WWE referee, while speaking to My Wrestling Podcast, said "Putting Shane through that glass man several times, and he couldn't. He could execute it the first, second time, and Vince is screaming, and everybody's screaming, don't do it. Don't do it again! I'm telling him don't do it again. Don't do it, and I'm in his ear. And then he does it again."
