"But he was pretty lighthearted about it. He wasn’t concerned about it, so I knew it was probably going to be something that was physically within his boundaries, and things that he’d be able to do safely and look good doing it. So [I] kind of knew what to expect. I was anxious to see Vince play out his character, because he was crazy in a good way. I liked it.”
Later, it was reported that Vince McMahon moved the World Tag Team Championship match which consisted wrestling legend Kane, so that his match with Hulk Hogan could have had a longer booking time. This match and rivalry are not much remembered to this date, but it was a really big deal back then and the fans loved it.
