“Oh yeeeeaah,” he growled, in Macho Man Randy Savage fashion. “Can’t wait, it’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s the first time the Hulkster is in Toronto, from what I understand. I want to thank him for coming,” he said. “This Fan Expo is going to be amazing. I don’t know if I’m going to win the arm wrestle, but we’ll see.”

Mr. Ford admitted he might be out of shape, on account of not lifting too many weights lately.

“My brother is a real Hulkster fan. He used to sit in the mirror and do one of these,” he said, flexing his arms.
