Legends Q & A featuring Kane, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Sgt. Slaughter and Matt Hardy
Galaxycon Columbus
Hacksaw said one of the reasons there were/are so much politics in pro wrestling is because it's very difficult to be in WWE. There are only 60 to 80 guys on the roster fighting for TV time vs the NFL having 1200 players and the NBA having 500 spots for players who don't really care if they play because they get paid either way.
They were asked if they had any superstitions and Kane said he always put his gear on in a certain order before every match. Started with under tights, knee brace, knee pads, singlet, boots, gloves (when he wore them) and then mask last.
Kane thinks the Royal Rumble is like the start of their playoffs and that Wrestlemania is their Championship game.
Favorite matches:
Slaughter said his Alley Fight with Pat Patterson.
Hacksaw said working with Andre The Giant in Madison Square Garden.
Kane said his first Championship win against Stone Cold in the First Blood match at King of the Ring 98. He said his match with Undertaker at Mania 14 and the Inferno match at Unforgiven are 2 and 3. His first year as Kane was his favorite really.
Matt Hardy said the Final Deletion, the Ladder Match from No Mercy 99, and the TLC from Mania 17.
A young kid asked Matt how he came up with his Delete catchphrase and he said he was delete stuff off his phone and the swiping motion he made while deleting caught his eye and he started doing in the Final Deletion match while shooting fireworks at Jeff and then it stuck.
Opponents they least like working with:
Slaughter said Stan Hansen.
Duggan said Iron Mike Sharpe.
Kane working with guys like Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio because they didn't fit his style.
Matt said Chris Benoit.
Favorite Travel Partners:
Duggan said Jake the Snake and The Nasty Boys.
Matt said his brother Jeff, Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger and R-Truth.
Sgt said Wahoo Mcdaniel and Mad Dog Vachon.
Kane said Undertaker and Goldust.
