Hassan said, “Being in the center of Madison Square Garden, I have said it before when Hulk Hogan came out. We were beating Shawn Michaels. It was like the realization of the phrase ‘blew the roof of the place’, because it was so loud that when you are standing in the center of that it’s like the acoustics almost make you feel that you are rising off the ground. Like the sound waves are lifting you up and you’re going to take off. It was absolutely unreal.”

Hassan explained that Hogan was so easy to have matches with and had exceptional communication skills. Hogan and Shawn both made him comfortable while their match was on.
