BA: Is there one guy in WWE who would have been someone that Sam Muchnick would have looked at and said, “I want that guy. He’s championship material.”

DF: Triple H.

BA: I thought the same thing!

DF: I think one of the better matches that I’ve ever seen is Triple H and Undertaker. The other one who was very instrumental in that match, a WrestleMania match, was Shawn Michaels who refereed it.
