09:52hollywood hulk hogan
10:03well ladies and gentlemen you can love him or you can hate him and there's a lot of fans here in skydome
10:11That love this legendary figure, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, returning to Toronto, returning to Sky Dome, as perhaps the greatest icon in the history of sports entertainment, preparing to meet perhaps the future of this industry.
10:33This is so special, JR. This is so unique. I mean, this truly is a greenback.
10:46We talk in the world of sports about what would happen if Mike Tyson had the opportunity to fight Muhammad Ali.
10:56Or Babe Ruth. We're up against Barry Bond.
11:03But we're going to actually get to witness it here tonight. We're going to get to see it.
11:08The Rock and the Immortal Hulk Hogan.
11:12In its history, WrestleMania, over 500,000 fans have seen WrestleMania in the last 17 years.
11:24And since its inception, this man has headlined nine of those events.
11:29Whether it's nostalgia, call it what you will, respect. There's a lot of Hollywood Hulk Hogan fans here in Sky Dome tonight.
11:48And this man, the Rock, is the Rock.
12:04The Miami Parade, weighing 270 more pounds, the Rock!
12:13The people of Champion The Rock, whose career was thankfully salvaged, no thanks to the NWO.
12:26The Avenue Hulk, who is the Grand The Rock.
12:29And now this Man and the R-A-R-R-R-G-E-R-R-B-W-O.
12:31The R-A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R.
12:44And then we forget it.
12:46But this is about two, and the word icon is used a lot.
12:52Look there, you've seen it on the Discovery Channel.
12:55I mean, it's like in the jungle.
12:57Survival of the fittest.
13:00The old lion.
13:01The leader of the pride.
13:03And then along will come a young lion who wants to take his place.
13:07Sometimes that young lion is able to take his place,
13:10but sometimes that old lion fights off that challenge of that young lion
13:15and remains the leader of the pride.
13:17What's going to happen here tonight?
13:19That's a great question.
13:21We're about to find out.
13:21Only one way to find out is we are live in Toronto at Sky Dome.
13:29Many in the crowd chanting for The Rock.
13:31Quite frankly, many in the crowd chanting for Hogan.
13:36A mixed reaction here at WrestleMania.
13:40I can tell you, we're talking to The Rock earlier today.
13:49He was a big Hulkamaniac as a young man.
13:55Look at this.
13:58And look at the flashballs.
14:01This is a WrestleMania moment.
14:04Look at those eyes.
14:05On March 17, 2002.
14:09You can circle that date on your calendar.
14:13Guys, I can tell you it's going to be a day that I'm never going to forget.
14:19But frankly, a match I thought I would never, ever see.
14:24We'll never see Tyson and Ali.
14:28We'll never see Babe Ruth and Barry Bine.
14:30But we are going to get to witness The Rock and The Hulk.
14:35Only at WrestleMania.
14:36And only in the WWE LJR.
14:40Here we go.
14:41History in the making now as Hogan and The Rock walking up.
14:47Call an elbow tie up.
14:48As The Rock trying to force Hogan back into the corner.
14:52This place is proud.
14:53It's electric.
14:55Hogan is a great veteran as far as his accomplishments are concerned.
14:59And I'll tell you what, King.
15:02Look at the power.
15:03The power of those pythons.
15:04On any one night, even a veteran, at the stage of his career that Hogan is, can pull it out.
15:15Don't.
15:16And Hogan is staying to rock.
15:18You just bring it.
15:19Oh, man.
15:25Todd Headlock by Hogan.
15:27And it's going to be very interesting to see how the strategies of both men begin to unfold.
15:34It's going to be very interesting to see how the strategies of both men begin to unfold.
15:35I talked to The Rock earlier, and I said,
15:38Rock, what you going to do with those 2040s?
15:40The pythons run wild, aren't you?
15:42The Rock said, I don't venture my arms, King.
15:44I just made a smackdown with them.
15:46So we're going to see if that's going to happen.
15:49Rock fighting his way out of the side.
15:51He'll walk.
15:52And knock down to the hard tackle by Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
15:55Look at this.
15:57Ah!
15:59I mean, I would love to know.
16:00I'm just going through The Rock's mind right now.
16:04And Hogan tells Rock again.
16:06Brang in and Rock sets his, or nods his head.
16:09You got it.
16:15Certainly a mixed reaction here.
16:19I'm sure much will be spoke of and written about that.
16:23Do you think The Rock expected a mixed reaction?
16:26Do you think Hulk expected a mixed reaction?
16:29I think The Rock did.
16:30I didn't know what to expect.
16:31Look at this.
16:32I have not conversed with Hogan, but I did talk to Rock earlier today.
16:35Oh!
16:37He had no problem with that whatsoever.
16:40Rock is a man of the people.
16:43Like you said, I mean, there was a one-time...
16:45You had nothing to be in a Hulk.
16:47Good shot.
16:48You had nothing to be in a Hulk.
16:49Good shot.
16:52Hogan talking some trash to the People's Champions.
16:55And another hard knock there.
16:58Nothing fancy about the attack of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
17:01Yet it has been thus far very effective.
17:04I want to tell you something that I'm shocked at, JR.
17:06So far, this has been all Hogan.
17:08All Hogan.
17:11Uh-oh.
17:12Look out!
17:14Hard to ask that.
17:16You know, Rock has been sucked out.
17:19And now Rock is challenging Hogan to bring it.
17:22Rock's standing tall, standing proud.
17:30That's what's Hogan thinking.
17:31This is great, JR.
17:34Oh, man!
17:37Just bring it.
17:38Don't worry, he will, Rock.
17:41I think each man is trying to outskill it in a game of mental chess.
17:45One-upsmanship at its best right here.
17:47One-up-to-one!
17:53Right now, Slower to those right hands.
17:57And Rock, the big touch.
18:00Hogan almost knocked on the top rope.
18:03Hogan now, creating some distance here
18:07for the opportunity to regroup somewhat.
18:10That's right.
18:11Because they, let's face it,
18:13Hogan and the Wiley veteran.
18:15Oh, let's rush in there.
18:16Oh, let's go!
18:19Oh, let's go!
18:19And Rock in a clubbing role
18:21to Hollywood Holden
18:24and forcing the veteran back into the ring.
18:29And Hogan seems very addled here.
18:31The Rock has laid some smackdowns.
18:34Come on, Rock!
18:35Come on!
18:36A reversal, JR!
18:39Oh!
18:39Holden reverses the average whip.
18:42Oh, let's go!
18:42Rock!
18:43Rock Kozai taking down the Hollywood Hogan
18:47and the Rock now poised and uncoiled.
18:50He's ready to uncoil, I should say.
18:52And there he's Rock!
18:54Look at the Rock bottom!
18:55Oh, look at the block!
18:56Look at the block by Hogan!
18:58Rock was looking for the Rock bottom.
19:00It was blocked very expertly by the veteran, Hogan.
19:04Yeah, you're calling her veteran for a good reason.
19:07I'm not so sure that Hogan wasn't playing possible earlier.
19:10Look at that elbow!
19:11Oh, man!
19:12That Rock dropped!
19:13Hogan, the corner of the elbow
19:14is driven right into the head of the Rock.
19:16And a hard elbow
19:17driven into the heart of the Brahma Bull.
19:20Look at that!
19:21Oh!
19:22Oh!
19:23Hogan up, now the foot right to the face of the Rock.
19:25Hogan started this match dominant
19:31as rebounded
19:34and regaining that offensive dominance
19:36at this point in time.
19:41We're talking about a point in time, JR.
19:44Years from now,
19:46people are going to be saying
19:47and talking about this match saying,
19:49I was there!
19:50I witnessed it!
19:52The Rock and Hulk Hogan!
19:55Hogan has had great success
19:58at WrestleManias
19:59except for the last time WrestleManias
20:02was here at Sky Dome
20:03when Hogan lost the WWF title
20:06to the Ultimate Warrior.
20:08There's nearly 70,000 people here live tonight!
20:11The Rock taking down Hogan
20:12and Watmane
20:13Hollywood Hogan
20:14hammering him with a right hand.
20:16Look at those crowds there!
20:22Oh, man!
20:24And Hogan with his two clicks
20:25on the Rock!
20:29Certainly a nostalgic feel here
20:32for Hogan
20:32looking for the cover here
20:34and...
20:35Let's face it, JR,
20:36you've got to show the man respect!
20:38He said,
20:39I've got to agree with you
20:40that the WWF
20:41is the house
20:41that Hollywood built!
20:44I am a fan
20:45of Hogan's accomplishments.
20:47I am not a fan
20:48of his association
20:49with the pack of dogs
20:51known as the NWR
20:52as Hogan has the Adonis Prince
20:54on the Rock!
20:55Oh, and he walked into this arena
20:57and he sticks his mouth down!
20:59You can take that man!
21:00Right there!
21:02Look at this!
21:03Oh, man!
21:03What are you saying?
21:04Come on!
21:05Certainly he has contributed
21:06to the success of this event
21:08as far as that is concerned
21:09but he's not here alone
21:11and that's a cradle
21:12Hogan now
21:12holding up the
21:13Hogan got a near-fall there!
21:14I'm not talking about
21:15this particular event!
21:17They are talking about wrestling!
21:18Well, I agree with that!
21:20And I can't disagree with it!
21:23Well, in the last few years
21:24since he's come on the scene
21:25a lot of parents also
21:27got to be going to the Rock
21:29for where
21:29as Hogan's entertainment has gone
21:31as Hogan wreaks the vibe
21:32of the People's Champion!
21:35I agree 100%
21:36I ain't a bigger Rock fan than me!
21:38He's great!
21:40Nobody likes him!
21:42He ended the People's Champion!
21:44That's why this is such a dream match!
21:46Great right hand
21:47by the Legend of Hogan
21:48with the right hand
21:49on a young Legend of the Rock
