Mantell worked with WWE for several years. His last stint with the company lasted from 2013-16 when he appeared as on-screen manager, Zeb Colter. He worked with Jack Swagger, Cesaro, and Alberto Del Rio during this run. Speaking on the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell mentioned that no one ever spoke in detail about Mr. McMahon's pet peeves and his contempt for words like "wrestler" and "hospital". He suggested that Vince felt that some words did not sound good on TV and so avoided them. "Why did Vince insist on not using the word wrestler or hospital? Nobody's ever given a reason why he would do that. Wasn't it because he didn't want it on TV correct? He didn't want those words," Mantell said.

Dutch Mantell spoke about working with Vince McMahon in WWE During the interview, Mantell recalled not even getting a single meeting with the boss. He revealed that despite his vast experience, he was never a part of the creative meetings for the company. "Basically, when I was there, I couldn't even get a meeting with him. So I never stood in on a creative session, and after a while, I didn't want to sit in on a creative session with him. All you had was a bunch of writers from The Ithica, New York Times, Daily Journal, Gazette Sports Pages who had only seen wrestling off USA Network and maybe WrestleMania. They had no idea even how wrestling works, never even had an idea how the stories worked. But that's what he wanted."
