01:37The following contest is scheduled for one call.
01:39A fortune away from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 260 pounds, The Rock.
01:46It is the slow saunter of the man who calls himself the most electrifying man in all of entertainment.
02:02The Rock just sombering his way down the ring as slow as he damn well pleases, demanding respect.
02:10It used to be that The Rock would earn respect from the people.
02:15It seems now The Rock is demanding it.
02:23So many of the fans in here in World Wrestling Entertainment feel that The Rock has turned his back on
02:30that.
02:31Did he, in your opinion?
02:33I don't know.
02:33I mean, in my opinion, I think that some of the people might have turned their back on The Rock.
02:39The Rock gave The People a choice last week.
02:41He told the people to decide, and based on the way The Rock's been acting lately, I believe the people
02:47made their choice loud and clear.
03:16And from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 200 pounds, The Rock.
03:19185 pounds, Hulk Hogan.
03:26Listen to the adoration of a legend.
03:59For so many years, Hulk Hogan Mania has been running wild worldwide.
04:05It's much like the reaction in Montreal the day after WrestleMania last year.
04:14Ever since WrestleMania, when 70,000 fans in Toronto cheered for Hulk Hogan, in my estimation, The Rock has never
04:25been the same.
04:29To be a great performer in this industry, a great wrestler, you gotta have an ego.
04:34And when an ego gets shut down sometimes by a bigger dog, it cuts at your heart if you smell
04:41it out.
04:46Hulk Hogan acknowledging these 16,000 plus fans, something The Rock did not do when he came out here.
04:55It seems to me Hulk Hogan has become the people's champion.
05:07And you know Taz, The Rock seems taken a bit of back by the reaction of this crowd to Hogan.
05:13Take it back, The Rock won't get in the ring.
05:23This arena is just on fire right now.
05:26People are going bananas.
05:31The Rock is living.
05:37I'm a bull, not a happy bull on the outside here.
05:41There used to be these cheers for The Rock.
05:44Tonight, The Rock has lost home ice advantage to Hogan.
06:05It is a matchup of arguably the two most influential figures in sports entertainment history.
06:20The Rock is taking it back, perhaps bewildered by this response.
06:32The 6 foot 6, 285 count, Hogan turned his back on a rock.
06:37But Hogan felt The Rock coming.
06:40And here we go, return match.
06:43It's Rock Hogan 2 from the Bell Center.
06:47Rock, the 7th time WWE Champion,
06:51slides out of the ring to get away from the 6th time WWE Champion.
06:56You might not agree with me, but I agree with what Rock's tactics were there.
07:00Bring this pace to yours.
07:02You know, to your pace, Rock is doing the right thing.
07:04The people are solidly behind Hulk Hogan.
07:06Hey, chill out, take your time, Rock.
07:10Let him dance your dance.
07:12Well, The Rock, 6'5", 260 pounds from Miami.
07:15As I mentioned, seven time WWE Champion.
07:18The Rock, a six year pro.
07:20For Hogan, a 25 year pro.
07:22A six time champion.
07:23Six foot six, 285 pounds from Tampa, Florida.
07:28These two forces collide tonight.
07:37The Rock is really shook up here, Cole.
07:41Just, are you getting it?
07:43That's not.
07:44Perhaps, do you think The Rock thinking a bit too much stalling may cost it here.
07:48Hogan explodes with the right hand.
07:50I thought maybe Rock was gonna call his personal assistant to see what time she
07:53get in the ring.
07:54Well, Hollywood seems to have gotten to the head of The Rock, but he draws Hogan
07:58into the ring.
07:59And The Rock looking for perhaps acceptance from these folks.
08:02Not going to get it here tonight.
08:04And The Rock with a big right hand to Hulk Hogan.
08:07Well, obviously, the speed is in The Rock's advantage.
08:11Rufus is in The Rock's advantage.
08:13In a big right hand, you see the referee, Sylvain Granier from Montreal,
08:17repped a match on Sunday night.
08:19He here tonight, big win for Rey Mysterio in that one.
08:21But an electric night in Montreal as The Rock and Hogan.
08:24Oh, look out.
08:27That's Hulk Hogan, man.
08:28Elbow to the midsection.
08:31I mean, when it comes to that part right there, Hulk Hogan is hard.
08:38And there's the tenth one for good measure.
08:41The Rock is in trouble.
08:43I wonder if Hulk called him a Rock a jabroni.
08:45Well, Rock looks in tremendous condition since returning, as does Hulk Hogan.
08:49Look at that, spit punch, that's a page out of The Rock's book.
08:52And The Rock is knocked down as Hogan begins to feed off this crowd.
08:57Keep in mind, Hogan's had it with The Rock.
09:00The Rock came out here last week, Taz, and said that he takes pride in recreating Hulkamania.
09:07The Rock believes the match at WrestleMania last year was his doing and
09:10it recreated Hulk Hogan and revived his career.
09:14Well, let's face it.
09:16Nice move by The Rock, hot shot in Hogan's throat right across the top rope.
09:20Let's face it, Cole.
09:22Even when people love The Rock, you know, I mean, let's face it.
09:24Backstage, you know, he never had a conference problem.
09:26I don't know.
09:27Look at The Rock.
09:28The Rock's just explaining that right now.
09:29Calling for The Rock Bottom.
09:31The Rock's stalking Hogan.
09:32Will this one be over as quickly as it began?
09:36We'll see.
09:37I go for The Rock Bottom earlier.
09:38I don't know about this.
09:39Hogan to his feet.
09:40Here we go, here we go.
09:41The Rock Bottom and he delivers.
09:42Rock Bottom to Hogan.
09:44The cover.
09:45I don't know if he got all of that.
09:46Hook of the leg.
09:47Hogan just kicked out.
09:49Wow.
09:51I don't know what happened.
09:52I don't know if he got all of that.
09:53Did you see The Rock's face?
09:54He can't believe that Hogan kicked out of The Rock Bottom.
09:57I don't believe Hogan was weakened enough.
09:59And look at The Rock now.
10:01Mocking, humiliating the man.
10:04This is what Hogan is.
10:05He's an entertainer for God's sakes, Cole.
10:07Rock's the entertainer.
10:08And Hogan is too.
10:09All right.
10:10Well, I meant to say, thanks for fixing.
10:11And look at The Rock pulling the belt off of Hogan.
10:15Uh-oh.
10:17Well, you know, The Rock has that new tattoo on his body.
10:21His tattoo and Hogan's back.
10:24And The Rock.
10:25And The Rock.
10:25I'm gonna show him if he said the answer to jump down my throat again.
10:28But yeah, The Rock is laying that patent leather belt right to the back of The Hogan.
10:33New haircut, new tattoo, new attitude from The Rock.
10:37Come on.
10:39Come on.
10:40Go with that water and that weightlifting belt.
10:42Bandanas.
10:45Now look at Hogan off his feet.
10:47He caught The Rock napping.
10:49A little too much showbomb for The Rock.
10:52Hey, speaking of tattoos.
10:53Hey, Rock, here's one for your other arm.
10:56It goes around, comes around.
11:00That's not gonna look good in Hollywood.
11:04And Hulk Hogan has exploded.
11:07He is sick of the humiliation.
11:09He is whipping the tar out of the man Taz who spat in Hogan's face last week.
11:14He spat in the man's face in ultimate form of humiliation.
11:18Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan, Hogan.
11:23You hear the Hulkamaniacs.
11:25Hulkamaniacs running wild right here in Montreal, building, building the chance of Hogan.
11:30Well Hulk Hogan has that brand new contract.
11:33Hulk Hogan wanted Mr. McMahon tonight, but McMahon gave him The Rock instead.
11:39You know it's like both these-
11:43Rock kicked in that section.
11:44Hogan with a DDT into a kickoff.
11:47And look at that.
11:49Like it or not, man, The Rock, a great athlete, a lot of time spent away from the ring.
11:56The Rock has not missed a beat.
11:58Well, The Rock is smelling it.
12:02The Rock is over the top in his actions.
12:04I've just fed both these great superstars a part of SmackDown.
12:10They're not cruiserweights.
12:11Some people around here think, well, SmackDown has cruiserweights.
12:13That's another story for another time.
12:15Rock two shots to the kidney of Hogan.
12:18And The Rock, look at this.
12:22The Rock calling for it, and it's the sharpshooter.
12:25The sharpshooter is locked in to Hogan.
12:29Referee Grenet up into the face now of Hogan, asking Hogan if he will tap in this matchup.
12:35Tough move to get out of, very tough.
12:36I don't know how much flexibility Hogan has in his lower back.
12:40A lot of years, 25 years as a boy, you said.
12:42Hogan got the rope.
12:43Hogan gets to the bottom rope, forces The Rock to-
12:46I thought he had to break the rope, but he didn't.
12:53The Rock, he has the sharpshooter hitched in.
12:57Hogan, he has a ton of heart.
12:59He's a 25-year veteran.
13:01But how much more can the 25-year veteran stand of the sharpshooter?
13:05And the pain just shoots through your lower back, right up into your spine of your neck with this hole.
13:10This doesn't just affect your knees and your ankle.
13:13This affects your lower back.
13:14The Rock talked a lot of trash to these fans to start this matchup.
13:18But right now, it's all business for The Rock.
13:20Hogan's arm is down once.
13:22Hogan is worthless now, Taz.
13:25Referee go for a two hit, two.
13:27Arm is down twice.
13:28If it goes down again, this matchup's over, and Rock has proven his back.
13:35But not now.
13:36Here we go.
13:38Look at Hogan.
13:39Where is he getting his power from?
13:41Breaking that hole.
13:44Where is he getting that power from?
13:46What am I trying to say?
13:47He's getting that power from the heart, the strength of Hogan.
13:51I'm gonna try and say this again.
13:52Pure strength.
13:54Those were two words I was trying to spit out.
13:56And Rock up to the apron, cannot believe that Hogan broke the sharpshooter.
14:01But how much damage was done as you see Hogan flipping over here?
14:04Here comes The Rock, watch out!
14:05It's floating with a clothesline.
14:11And Rock mocking Hogan and the crowd.
14:13Look totally cocky.
14:17Rock wants to tell you people claps.
14:19Rock gave the people a choice last week, and the people chose to boo The Rock.
14:24And after watching The Rock's actions tonight, I can't quite blame the people.
14:28And Rock worked his ass off to get where he is, Cole.
14:31Rock said that, there's another SmackDown.
14:33He worked his ass off.
14:35And a steel chair bounces off the steel post.
14:37And Hogan with a right hand.
14:39And Hogan with another right.
14:41And Hogan with a steel chair.
14:43Uh-oh.
14:44Back on The Rock.
14:45Be careful with that Wally Baron, the holster.
14:49The referee is just letting this match roll along here.
14:53Hogan with a steel chair in hand.
14:55No, no, no.
14:56Referee shoved out of the line.
14:58Reignet grabs the steel chair.
14:59Rock with a long blow.
15:01Referee had his back turned.
15:03Can't play the ref on that.
15:04The referee see it?
15:05I don't know.
15:06Rock, the referee's doing his job, taking the chair away from Hogan.
15:08And so is The Rock.
15:09Referee don't see it.
15:10You can nail someone with a low blow.
15:11See, you condone these new actions of The Rock.
15:13The so-called, well, the former people's champion in my mind.
15:16Whoa, I'm putting words in my mouth.
15:18I didn't say condone it.
15:19I'm just saying.
15:19Referee's got his back turned on.
15:21A man like Hogan with a rock.
15:22And you can nail him.
15:24Low blow.
15:25Go for it.
15:25I'd do it.
15:26I don't blame The Rock.
15:27Still not right as The Rock looks to take advantage of the low blow.
15:30Of course, it ain't right.
15:31Don't mean it didn't work.
15:32And here comes a rock bottom.
15:34Courtesy and a rock.
15:35Look out.
15:36Spoonbuster.
15:36And this is or was the most electrifying move in sports entertainment today.
15:46After tonight, they may have to rename The People's Elbow.
15:50Surprising for that elbow pad back at The Rock.
15:53How about the I'm in love with myself elbow?
15:55Uh-oh, here we go, People's Elbow.
15:57Direct to the heart of Hogan, The Rock.
16:01What's this?
16:02He's just having fun to rock.
16:04What the hell?
16:04A mocking Hogan as he delivers another elbow.
16:07The cover.
16:08Hooks the leg on Hogan.
16:09Two.
16:10And Hogan kicks out.
16:11Powers out.
16:15The Hulk is hulking up.
16:17Hulkamania.
16:27Don't do it, Rock.
16:28Do something else.
16:30The right hand's having little effect.
16:32I need to have tried before, and Hulk should feel it.
16:35Listen to this crowd.
16:36Hulkamania lives in Montreal.
16:38Hogan just leaves for now.
16:40Hogan just brings the people right into it.
16:42Two, two, three.
16:46That was rocking.
16:47He's mocking Hogan.
16:48And that may cost The Rock.
16:50I know.
16:51Three, two, one.
16:58The end is there.
17:00You know what's next, my man.
17:03Vintage Hulk Hogan.
17:04Light drop in the house.
17:06Hogan off the ropes.
17:07Yeah.
17:08And Trump connects.
17:09It's over.
17:10The cover.
17:11There's Hulk.
17:12Wait a minute.
17:14What the hell?
17:15What the hell just happened?
17:18Power out.
17:19Hey, Trump don't even, the lights are out.
17:23What the hell?
17:24Wait a minute.
17:26The referee's been knocked down.
17:28How the hell did that steel chair get in the ring?
17:30Right there.
17:31Rock's down too.
17:32Hogan had The Rock defeated off the leg drop and the damn lights went out.
17:37And now the referee's out.
17:39Rock's out.
17:39There's a chair in the ring.
17:41And there's Mr. McMahon.
17:49What's going on here?
18:01I think Hogan believes that the king shut the lights out.
18:05Mr. McMahon said you're exactly right.
18:08Exactly right.
18:09You just heard him.
18:11Hey, hey, the referee.
18:13The referee just slipped right to steel chair.
18:14What the hell is going on here?
18:16The Rock with a steel chair.
18:17Hogan's been distracted.
18:18So quick.
18:19Chair to the head.
18:20Steel chair to the head of Hogan.
18:23What the hell is going on?
18:25This is a swerving head.
18:27Somebody tell me what the hell is going on.
18:31Hogan's been busted open.
18:33Mr. McMahon, behind the lights.
18:35I guess he was on.
18:36And the referee slid the damn chair to the rock.
18:45I have no idea what the hell is going on here.
18:48But it doesn't smell right.
18:50The referee is still right handed.
18:52Not for nothing is that a damn thing right with the referee.
18:54Right, he just shoved the chair over.
18:57He's out, Mr. McMahon's smiling.
18:59Rock is stalking Hogan.
19:01It's gonna be probably a rock bottom.
19:03Hogan's bleeding.
19:06To his feet.
19:07Here's Rock.
19:08Look out.
19:09Here it is.
19:10Rock bottom.
19:11Rock bottom to Hogan.
19:14The referee.
19:15What a miraculous look.
19:16This is a rock.
19:17This is a damn screw job.
19:19This is a damn screw job.
19:21This is a damn screw job.
19:21Here's shoulder of Rock.
19:24Vince McMahon stuck it to Hulk Hogan.
19:28McMahon stuck it to Hogan.
19:30Look at that.
19:31This is a joke.
19:32Mr. McMahon had the damn lights turned out.
19:35The referee was never knocked out.
19:37He slid the damn chair to the rock.
19:39The referee was in the pocket of Mr. McMahon.
19:44Holy God.
19:46This Sylvain Grenier from Montreal was in the pocket of McMahon.
19:51I don't believe this.
19:54Rock smiling away.
19:57The referee is, remember the hell his name was.
19:59This McMahon shake.
20:01While McMahon said he didn't want Hogan back in the WWE,
20:05he was upset with his daughter Stephanie for reciting Hogan.
20:09While McMahon got his revenge here tonight.
20:11Remember, Cole, a couple weeks back,
20:14Ms. McMahon said he created Hulkamania.
20:18And Ms. McMahon said he will kill Hulkamania.
20:22And I think Ms. McMahon is right.
20:24Hulkamania may be a lifestyle, Cole, but McMahon is a life breaker.
20:41And I would have killed the";
20:42100% or almost completely.
20:42And I think he's okay.
