Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest superstars in pro wrestling. He had been the face of the company for several years and earned himself a huge fan base. But even he had to listen to Vince McMahon during his time in WWE.
Hogan had a major feud with Vince McMahon following his return to WWE from WCW. Vince distracted Hogan and played a key role in Hogan’s loss at WWE No Way Out in 2003.
Soon after that, Hogan and Mr. McMahon entered into a feud. The WWE chairman claimed he hated Hogan for leaving WWE and joining WCW in the past.

Vince further challenged Hogan to a match at WrestleMania XIX. During the match, Hogan had to hit three running leg drops for the victory.
Hulk Hogan had several victories in the past against legends like André the Giant, whom he defeated with a single leg drop. But surprisingly, he had to pull out three leg drops from his arsenal before getting the victory over Vince McMahon.
Well, Vince McMahon is the WWE chairman, and he has a major role in booking the matches in WWE. Thus, it is likely that Vince must have told Hogan to perform three running leg drops on him for the victory.
If so, then Hulk Hogan had no other choice other than to listen to his boss. But Vince might have done this to get the fans more excited. And the match indeed proved to be a very entertaining one.
