The show was also the launchpad for [[Shane McMahon]]'s on-camera career in WWE, originally placed in the role of a commentator for the program.

Grisham then made a comment that Yankem resembles [[Kane (wrestler)\|Kane]] and suggesting that they might be brothers, thus breaking [[kayfabe]] by outing Glenn Jacobs as the man who portrayed Yankem before his more famous gimmick as the younger brother to [[The Undertaker]]. Although the commentary was edited out before being uploaded to WWE.com for the United States market, WWE still sent the original, unedited version overseas before it was noticed by company executives. Grisham was reprimanded for the incident.

'''''IWE Heat''''' (formerly known as '''''Sunday Night Heat''''' also known as '''''Heat''''') was a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Television Program|television program]] produced by [[IWE|International Wrestling Entertainment]] (IWE).
