Hurricane talks Shane McMahon turning up at WCW show:

"We got to TV and it was Panama, Panama City, Florida and there was a sign on one of the doors that said, like, either 'WWE' or 'McMahons' or something, but we still didn't believe it because they were so weird down there trying to work the boys. But we had a talent meeting, one of those good talent meetings and Shane McMahon walked into the room and that was the 'oh s--t'. It was silence and a little bit of 'oh', but that was the paradigm shift in the business right there. The war was over. He came in. He made some kind of weird comment toward Buff and Lex. It wasn't even weird. It was just Shane. You know Shane. 'Lex. Buff. How are you doing?' Very Vince almost as if he's his son. Almost. And we all caught onto that. That wasn't very subtle at all. And then Shane gave a very good speech, that they bought WCW and they were going to carry it forward. It's going to be it's own thing and we're like, 'okay, whatever'. Nobody knew, no matter what anybody says, nobody in that room knew what their future held after that night."
