During his conversation with Sports’ VIBEtalks, the former WWE referee mentioned the 2002 WrestleMania 18 match between The Rock And Hulk Hogan. He mentioned how the WWE Universe went crazy watching these two legends fighting each other.
He said, “And, hopefully, moments like that or at least a moment like that will return at some point because they are very few and far between. All I can say is I was amazingly happy and glad that I was there to witness it.”
“It was special. When I watched it back, to me it felt like they toned down the audience noise so that you could actually hear Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler because it was that loud and that deafening inside. You think of it it’s a big dome, but still, it’s covered. It was loud and again, watching it back, it felt like they had to tone that down a little bit just so you can hear the commentary.” (H/T- Wrestling Headlines)
