Hulk Hogan says that he wanted to turn heel against the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI. Hogan spoke about enjoying playing a heel during his interview with Barstool Rasslin, and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On asking Vince McMahon to turn him heel against Ultimate Warrior: “When I did the job for The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6, … one of the things I said to Vince McMahon was, ‘Let me turn heel.’ If you watch the tape, … everybody in the crowd was watching me leave. … Slowly, I [could have] turned and [came] back and just ground him.”
On initially turning down joining the nWo: “The Hulk-A-Mania thing was just getting started again after the whole steroid debacle and all that crazy stuff, so I felt a little weird turning heel.”
On changing his mind after seeing Scott Hall and Kevin Nash’s WCW debut: “I called Eric up [and] I said, ‘Man, I’m your guy.’ He said, ‘Well, do you really want to do it, because we were going to put Sting [in]?’ And I said, ‘Sting’s a great guy, but he’s not WWF head-to-toe.'”
