Vince McMahon Nixed Huge Heel Turn For Classic WrestleMania Match

Now that we’re deep into WrestleMania season the Show of Shows is the topic that everyone in the wrestling world is talking about, and over the years fans have seen many classic matches take place on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI is arguably one of the most iconic matches from WrestleMania history as Warrior managed to defeat Hogan and win the belt.

The Immortal One discussed the match during an appearance on After The Bell with Corey Graves, and he revealed that he actually wanted to turn heel after the match but Vince McMahon did not approve his idea.

“Vince and I had a disagreement. Vince had an opinion that Hulkamania had his run. And it actually went back to WrestleMania 6. When he asked me to put the Warrior over, I said, “That’s no problem at all, brother!” but my question always is, if I’m putting somebody over, what are we doing after that? And, you know, there wasn’t really a clear-cut answer for that.”

“I said, “Well, how about this. When I put him over and hand him the belt and everybody’s cheering for him, I get halfway down the aisle. How about I just… turn around and just grind him? Just drop him and just drag him around the ring. And I want to be ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan!” I said, “I want to be HHH: Hollywood Hulk Hogan. The ultimate bad guy.””

Do you think Vince made the right call? Sound off in the comments below.
