Hogan and Michaels picked up the win in the match, which main evented the show.

The former WWE star reflected on the experience during an appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. He also talked about how growning up in a wrestling family put him on the path to joining the business himself. You can see the highlights below:

On If He Felt Like He had To Be a Pro Wrestler:

“It’s funny, kind of, I guess so, because all my jobs were related. So being a wrestler was just the last evolution. But looking back, though, I’d do it again. I just think about having a nine-to-five. I mean, I’m just glad that nowadays, still, I’ve never had a nine to five. So I’m kind of glad the wrestling thing worked out.”

On His Match With Angle Against Hogan & Michaels:

“I think it was building towards Michaels and Hogan. I think he turned on Hogan after that match? So, just something to set up him turning on Hogan. I don’t know. I remember I just got beat up by Hulk the whole match. But it was cool. I got to take the leg drop. I got to see all the stuff.”
