Interview w/ Hulk Hogan
“Mean Gene” brings out WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan for an interview.
During his entrance a masked man dressed entirely in black runs out and bashes the back of Hogan’s leg with a steel pipe and he goes down.
Chaos ensues as Hogan writhes in pain.
Sting bolts out to help his new best friend Hulk Hogan, but the Masked Man quickly disappears before Sting can catch him.
Hogan says his knee really hurts. Hogan gets medical attention. Eric Bischoff breaks the fourth wall and comes out as an official, not as an announcer, and Gene Okerlund is very anxious, thinking this is the
darkest day in wrestling history. Tonight’s main event is in real jeopardy. A medic places a brace upon Hogan’s left knee as Eric Bischoff looks on. EMT’s place Hogan on a gurney and take him backstage.
Sting and Jimmy Hart help Hogan to the back…
Who is the Masked Assailant? Hogan has unquestionably made his fair share of enemies since making his WCW debut. Or is the Masked Man someone from Hogan’s past?
Is this the End of Hulkamania or is Hulkamania immortal?

“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair grabs the microphone: “Bring me the title now!”
“The Immortal” Hulk Hogan does his entrance doing a fantastic sell job limping, that is until he gets into the ring and lunges at Flair and beats him down to the mat. Hogan is limping, but chases Flair around the
ring with the Championship belt, looking for a chance to use the belt as a weapon.
Heenan complain over Hulk’s actions.

limp around while Flair kicks him in his bad knee until he points the finger.
Hulk-Up Time!
“Damn it!” Heenan exclaims.
Hogan hits the Big Boot and Legdrop, but his knee gives out. No cover and Flair wakes up and grabs the Figure-Four again until Hogan reverses the hold. Crowd’s hot and the match has a ton of energy.
Flair does tremendous spots with Hogan’s leg and just absolutely tears at it. He drags Hogan around the outside of the ring by his leg and starts unraveling the gauze causing Hogan to hop around on one leg.
Hulk Hogan looks to the right. Hulk Hogan looks to the left.
The Hulkamaniacs start to cheer.
It’s Hulk Up Time!
“Damn it!” Heenan exclaims again. “The Brain” seems very nervous.
NO! “The Nature Boy” starts begging for mercy.
Hogan, shaking his fists, looks deep within himself and remembers what A Real American Hero is.
The finger wag and the crowd goes nuts and he makes his big comeback!
Punch, Punch, Punch, Irish Whip, Big Boot…
The referee is busy talking to Elizabeth that loudly protests.
Hogan is getting ready for the Leg Drop and the cover.
When suddenly…
Jimmy Hart raises his Hulkamania megaphone and smashes it over Hogan’s head. Hulk goes down like a sack of potatos, while Flair gives the Figure-Four another try and this time it work’s. Flair wins and is the new WCW World Heavyweight champion!
YES! YES! YES! Heenan exclaims. Heenan is very happy and says “Today is one of the happiest days of my life!”

fast roll up. His Lordship just cannot believe his eyes. He just lost to an inferior American. The devastated look on Regal’s face is priceless. Duggan celebrates with the WCW World Television title belt, while the

The Booty Man is completely soaked.
Back in the ring Stevie Ray goes for a High Knee followed by a Military Press Slam, but The Booty Man counters and makes the tag to Johnny B. Badd. “The Badd Man” cleans house with Clotheslines, but gets a
illegal low blow, a High Knee and a Bicycle kick. Stevie looks the end the match and prepares for a Slapjack. The champions very looks strong and it looks like they will defend their titles. But out of nowhere Badd scores a fast roll up.

2 vs 3
“The Hardcore Icon” Terry Funk is on the outside and tries to throw a chair into the ring, but the cage has a roof on it so that isn’t going to work. What the hell was he thinking? Instead he picks up his left cowboy boot. Terry Funk gets inside the cage and he is nailing everyone with the cowboy boot.

Next in is Brian Pillman! The heels immediately gang up on Pillman, but he goes all firery babyface on them and starts chucking them one by one into seperate sections of the cage with high-energy attacks. Sags is back up and helps Pillman cleaning house, and sending the members of the Stud Stable to the cage. Sags then raked Arn’s face against the steel, making “The Enforcer” bleed. Whenever the numbers are evened up, the faces control the ring. Jerry Sags destroyed The Stud Stable with some of the most vicious, brutish, sloppiest and stiffest strikes ever seen. The Nasties may be sloppy as hell, and more than a little dangerous, but they sure know how to brawl. Their ‘garbage’ brawl-style are very successful in these type of matches.
3 vs 4

In the meantime Buck and Funk have belts and are whipping the members of Team Rhodes. The heels have gone back in control. Sags gets the cowboy boot, starts swinging and nails Buck right in the head. Funk whips Pillman with his belt. Dustin steals a belt and starts whipping Arn with it. Arn, Buck, Funk and Slater are dishing out a hell of a beating to Dustin, Jerry Sags and Brian Pillman. Team Rhodes are in need of a fresh man to even odds. Blood is staining the ring, the ropes, as well as the cage, making for great visuals as the match continues on. Crowd goes crazy with chants of “DUSTY! DUSTY! DUSTY! DUSTY! DUSTY!”
4 vs 4
Time for the last member of Team Rhodes; here is “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes and the fans are going insane for him. Now when all eight men finally have entered the cage, what is referred to as “The Match Beyond” begin. Both teams will brawl each other in the cage for as long as it takes until any member of either team submit, surrender, or is knocked out unconscious. There is no pinfalls, no count-outs, and no disqualifications. Dustin nails Funk with a sloppy Running Bulldog OUCH with a side of YEE-OUCH! Funk is in pain and can barely walk. That move almost looked botched?
Dusty comes in and the heels have the advantage. Bunk is whipping Dustin with one of the belts. Dusty gets beat down briefly but then opens up on Arn, Buck and Slater, beating the hell out of them with Bionic Elbows. It’s Bionic Elbows galore until it comes down to Dusty and Crazy-as-hell-Texan Terry Funk. Dustin and Jerry Sags have the upper hand in the fight versus Arn and Buck. It’s a hard-hitting slugfest between Dusty and Funk. Arn gets a Nasty Clubberin’ followed by a Double DDT. Sags nails Buck with a Splash followed by sloppy Elbow Drop. Dustin starts whipping the heels to keep them away while, Dusty finally destroys Funk with Bionic Elbows and knocks him out with a stiff DDT. That’s it! Terry Funk is knocked out.
