Now I’m hearing this stuff going, ‘this is not cool. This is not good,’ knowing that tomorrow, I start my program with him. Tomorrow. But, after his match, it was announced that there was not going to be a tomorrow because Vince McMahon was standing right beside me when he fired him.
‘You’re fired, get the f**k out of my building!’ Vince looked at me and said ‘you’ve got the worst friggin’ luck there is!’ Hogan, couldn’t do it. People chanting the wrong thing. Work with ‘Macho’, got to cut it short, and now this. Well, I was friggin’ furious because now I’ve lost another championship run.
So we go to the Hall of Fame, I’m wanting to get my two cents worth in because of the way he treated me in the locker room. I wanted to knock him out. That was in the back of my mind. I turned a corner and he was right there.
And I stopped, and he looked at me and he goes, ‘Jake, please let me apologize to you.’ He was so humble. So sincere. My mouth just fell open. Is this the same damn guy?
He said, ‘I know I screwed you out of millions, I’m so sorry.’ Then he turned around and made himself available for my kids and my grandchildren, and I had to let it go.
I would have wound up in a very bad spot. Not only that, look what it would have done to my children, and my grandkids, and his kids. That’s immediately who I thought of when that thing happened to him in the parking lot dying and his two children there. My god, my god.”
A few days after the Hall Of Fame 2014 ceremony, Warrior passed away.
