"That day was a, what day was that... Was it the Draft, no, no. It was Vince McMahon's funeral. Something to do with that. Yea, it was Vince McMahon's funeral over there. We were all dressed up and all that nonsense. It was a big deal. You know in catering, I had JBL coming up to me, 'We're gonna get ya. We're gonna get ya real good.' It was like, 'Uh.'"
