At the time I thought nothing of it. I was a little too young to have memories of Slaughter's first run before he left to do G.I. Joe stuff, and again age wise being at war with Iraq didn't seem like much of anything. I was a Hogan guy more than a Warrior guy, so I was ok with Hogan taking the spot back.
Looking back, that part still seems like the right decision as Warrior spun way out of control.
The wrong part was the issue that the angle was getting real death threats, couldn't sell out the LA Colosseum, and was a safety concern for the whole event.
Funny enough, Warrior being removed led to him and Savage at Mania which in my opinion was Warriors best match ever.
