Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan almost got in the line of fire

The story of the altercation between Harley Race and Hulk Hogan in WWE has a few different versions. However, each one points to the fact that Haley Race did threaten to kill Hogan a long time ago.

Hogan appeared on the 'WOOOOO! Nation' with Ric Flair and talked about the time when Race pulled a gun on him. The legendary Superstar revealed that he went to Race's Kansas City territory and discussed the late great Dusty Rhodes.

According to The Nature Boy, Race was so angry at WWE and Vince McMahon going to NWA that he arrived in WWE to confront Vince and Hogan.

"Harley was so goddamn mad at WWE, WWF at that time, and he's leaving me to wrestle [Bruiser] Brody over there and we had 3,000 people," Flair said. "He's going over to the convention center to kill Hulk! He pulled out his 9 mm tucked into his pants and goes, 'I'll be back'".

Hogan added to the story and claimed that Race attempted to set the WWE ring on fire before the show. He also revealed that Race pulled a gun on him as he was coming out of the bathroom.

"The ring crew said, 'he'd already been here and tried to light the ring on fire' and they all told me he wanted to kill me, so I went across the street to the Rusty Scrupper and drank two bottles of wine and I just come sliding back there, right before the main event, hoping I'd miss him. I'm sitting on the toilet, going number two and I had my pants down, and Davey Boy Smith goes, 'Harley's here! Harley's here! Harley's here!' and Davey Boy Smith started screaming. And I pulled my pants up, but didn't wipe my rear end, just blowing out of the bathroom to find him, and he was standing right there with a gun in his hand going, 'I came here to blow your damn kneecaps off, but I'd rather work with you guys.' He scared the hell out of me."

RIP HARLEY,love you my brother HH

Thankfully, no one was harmed following the altercation. However, this must be one of the scariest threats that a WWE Superstar has received during their time in the company, even if it did come from a fellow wrestler.
