That guy never stopped. It was seven days a week. I\u2019d go to Monday Night Raw, and we\u2019d have a post-production meeting at one o\u2019clock in the morning after the show was over. I\u2019d sneak back to my hotel, he\u2019d be banging on my door at 2:30, 3:00, \u2018Come on, monster. Let\u2019s go work out.\u2019 Used to drive me crazy. Then he\u2019d sleep for four hours and have another 20-hour day. It was like that every day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His plane, he had a big extended G4, I used to call it the slave ship. He talked me into going on it and flying to Monday Night Raw, then he\u2019d never let me go home. \u2018Oh, come on back to New York for three days. We need to California for a day.\u2019 So I was surprised that he walked away from the lifestyle because that was him, he loved it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>McMahon sold the WWE to Endeavor in April and will be the Executive Chairman of a new business entity that includes the UFC.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/05\/30\/wwe-announces-new-womens-money-in-the-bank-qualifiers\/\">WWE announces new women\u2019s Money in the Bank qualifiers<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3273123793\"><div id=\"pwtor-3946535473\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Hulk Hogan says he understands the security that selling the WWE provides Vince McMahon, but that he&#8217;s shocked McMahon wouldn&#8217;t be involved in the business 24\/7.
