The veteran manager noted that their careers often overlapped in different companies, but the two were never together on TV during a segment or in the ring.
"You know, that's one thing I really regret. I never got a chance to have a segment with him. Never did nothing with him in the ring. Never had a chance to work with him in my entire career." [From 5:47 onwards]Despite the controversies in his life, Hulk Hogan's contribution to the wrestling business cannot be overlooked. The man almost single-handedly made WWE a household name in the 80s. He was the driving force behind the success of WrestleMania and helped WWE become a sports entertainment juggernaut.
