Gangrel on The Brood helping The Undertaker hang The Big Bossman at WrestleMania 15:

"It was WrestleMania weekend and you get a memo saying you're not on WrestleMania, but you get a memo saying that you have a rehearsal on a Saturday morning. You're like, 'Rehearsal. Who you got a rehearsal for? We're not even in WrestleMania. What did they do, add something?' So you get kind of excited."

"You head down to the First Union Center wherever in Philly there and they say, 'Oh hey, you guys need to come from a ceiling.' You look up and you can't even see the ceiling it's so far away. What are you talking about, you're gonna come from the ceiling? So they said, 'Yeah, you're gonna come down to these harnesses at top of the cage. You're gonna peel it up and hang The Big Bossman.' I said, 'We're gonna hang The Big Bossman from the ceiling?' I was more concerned about the ceiling part, and man, it was scary. It was terrifying."

"We did one rehearsal and I remember sitting there just holding on at the edge of the beams and I wouldn't let go. They said, 'You gotta let go so you can repel down. I was holding on like a cat not wanting to go into water or something. I went down, did the rehearsal, and I was like it wasn't so bad I don't think, but it changed on show day with all the energy at WrestleMania. You were up there. You're trying to watch the match going on. They look like ants, you know, they are so far down. I was just trying to go over that. I went over and that was cool. I almost missed the cage with one foot dangling, but I got on the cage, unhooked the harnesses, ripped the cage up, dropped the rope down like you're supposed to do and then we went back up. Everything was fine and dandy and then everything stopped. The breakers blew. Edge was stuck where everybody could see him. I was stuck in between sound and lighting. Christian was back up there with his fingers just on the ledge, like almost up, almost all the way, and I was just terrified for a moment thinking, man if they come across the speakers, these arena speakers, you know, you're right there in the center. I said I'll never ever be able to hear again. It was a scary moment and then all of a sudden everything started working again. Edge, he got stuck down there. There were a lot of pictures of him stuck. It was an intense moment. We did one rehearsal and then we did it. I was thinking this is crazy. I'm a pro wrestler, not a stunt man, but it was a cool moment and it's something I always talk about so I was blessed with it."
