"I was standing up to his speeches, a real-time superhero. Just walking out there, I said to myself, 'he deserves something very, very special more than anyone,' if they owe him. Okay, here comes Hulk Hogan, and the fans boo him. I was angry. That's not the way I would have done it. He deserved much more," said Vince in the interview.

Vince was upset that he was not invited to be a part of Hogan's 10-bell salute. Given the general perspective that Hulk was a racist, Vince gave his bit on the issue. He regarded Hogan as not a racist and felt that the 2-time Hall of Famer had made racist comments at times and paid for it, but wasn't an outright racist.
