“We didn’t know Vince was even going to be there, we had no idea, That’s where the famous line that came from Vince, where we got to a certain stopping point and heard this voice and it’s unmistakably Vince saying ‘This is good s–t.’
At that point, Mick is made. He just sold the old man. I don’t know what his thoughts would be if you asked him today,” said Jim Ross, “But at that time, he had turned the corner. He got the blessing of the most powerful man in all of pro wrestling”
