00:01Indeed, we are anxiously awaiting the presence of these two incredible
00:06athletes in the squared circle, Andre the Giant versus Hulk Hogan.
00:10Standing by right now, Mean Gene Okerlund, and with him,
00:13I believe the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase, Bodyguard Virgil, and Andre the Giant.
00:18Well, gentlemen, tonight you have the chance at the World Wrestling Federation's Heavyweight Championship.
00:24You're coming.
00:25Chance? Andre already is champion.
00:27He beat Hogan at WrestleMania 3 until the referee, obviously a hunk of moron, cheated on the three count.
00:34But this time, Virgil will keep an eye on the referee, and Hogan won't squirm loose.
00:38That coward has run from Andre for a year. Tonight, he meets the Giant, and the rest is history.
00:45All right, Ted DiBiase, obviously you are very confident, and obviously the Giant is ready.
00:50Of course he's ready. He's had the finest training at the finest facilities that money can buy.
00:56Everyone knows that money makes the man, and it takes big money to match up to a big man like
01:01this.
01:02That's why Andre's with me, the Million Dollar Man.
01:05And that's why Hulk Hogan is always with those nickel and dime Hulkamaniacs.
01:10Hulk Hogan is small change compared to Andre the Giant.
01:14Your account is overdrawn, Hogan. And Andre's gonna close it!
01:19Andre the Giant!
01:21Once I go get my hands on you, I'll never stop. Never!
01:26I'm going to squeeze, and twist, and squeeze again, and squeeze, and then never stop and go squeeze.
01:35That's it, Andre! This is for the money! Let's go!
01:39All right, I'm sure it is for the money, Vince.
01:43After all, Andre the Giant has millions of reasons to become the heavyweight champ.
01:46Let's go back to you.
01:49Thank you, me and Gene, and we are indeed awaiting the presence of one Andre the Giant.
01:55Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship!
02:02It is scheduled for one fall, approaching the ring area, escorted by Bodyguard Virgil and the Million Dollar Man, Ted
02:14DiBiase.
02:16He blocks the entire screen out. Look at that, McMahon!
02:20I've never seen a Giant in better shape in my life.
02:23When DiBiase said he had the best training, you can believe it.
02:27The biggest winner of the world, Andre the Giant!
02:32That man is simply awesome.
02:37Andre the Giant being led to the ring by his manager, Rustler, the Million Dollar Man, and of course, Bodyguard
02:45Virgil.
02:47And I'll tell you, this is going to be one matchup.
02:50These two have waited a long, long time to lock up once again in a rematch.
02:56We're told now standing by Mean Gene Okerlund, along with the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion.
03:02Let's take you to Hulk Hogan.
03:05Well, apparently, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant has millions of reasons to become the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion.
03:13Well, with all the controversy, Mean Gene, from WrestleMania III, I've tried to keep an open mind, man.
03:18But I've viewed the film a thousand and one times.
03:21Andre the Giant, you only had me down for a two count.
03:24I slammed you and beat you one, two, three, right in the middle.
03:29Look at the players, the violence, and the training.
03:32It's small change to you, multi-million dollar man.
03:35But I've invested my three assets wisely in a lifelong profit-sharing plan with all my little holsters, brother.
03:43You watched the referee.
03:45That's cool.
03:46All my Hulkamaniacs, we're gonna be watching you, multi-million dollar man.
03:50Then Andre the Giant, one-on-one, with the whole world watching.
03:54I'm gonna prove to you, I can beat you, and Hulkamania will live forever.
04:00All right, ladies and gentlemen, headed to the ring, Hulk Hogan.
04:06And now, introducing, from British Beach, Erica, weighing 302 pounds, the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan.
04:24There he is, World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion.
04:28And he has never looked better for this awesome rematch.
04:32I'll give you that, McMahon.
04:34I've never seen the champion Hulk Hogan look any better.
04:37The guy's ripped.
04:38But he better be in the shape of his life.
04:41Wait a minute, he just took one look at Andre.
04:43Here he comes!
04:44Hogan coming in!
04:46He has the championship back!
04:48He's gonna go for Andre!
04:49Whoa!
04:50Whoa!
04:51Referee!
04:52Dave Hefner stopping him!
04:54Moving him back to a corner!
04:56The Hulkster insists at what Andre has done.
04:59He went quick for it!
05:02Well, Hogan, Hogan, in my opinion, better save his energy till the bell rings.
05:08He's getting himself so worked up right now, he may be in trouble when the match starts.
05:14Referee, with the title belt, up high for all to save!
05:23That's what it's all about!
05:24That's what it's all about!
05:24Yes, indeed!
05:26Dave Hefner, referee, with the championship belt up high!
05:29And Hulk Hogan, look at that look of determination and the Hulkster!
05:33You know what I feel very good about, though?
05:35Dave Hefner is refereeing this match, not Joey Morella!
05:40I feel very good about that!
05:42I feel very good about that!
05:42Because Joey Morella was the referee at WrestleMania 3 that caused all the controversy!
05:55And this place is electric!
05:58Listen to this!
06:04Andre not cross about the whole thing!
06:08all the Hulkamaniacs
06:10just like the Hulkster said
06:12in his corner
06:13Andre may have Virgil
06:15he may even have DiBiase
06:16if the Hulkster has a Maratona
06:19right in his corner
06:21but if you'll notice something
06:22as I said before
06:24Hogan's all worked up
06:26Andre the Giant is sitting back
06:28cool and calm
06:29he's not expecting the energy
06:31Hogan is
06:33all right the Hulkster wants
06:35the Giant to step into the ring
06:43DiBiase and Virgil
06:44readying
06:45Andre to step into the ring
06:47I'm sure
06:48all right
06:56the Hulkster draws the line
06:58and he wants Andre the Giant
07:01take a look at that
07:03there's the bell
07:04and we're going to be underway
07:05in a matter of seconds
07:06McMahon
07:06I'm pumped up for this
07:08you're pumped up
07:09think what Andre and the Hulkster are
07:11Andre looks cool and calm to me
07:13he looks like a man on a mission
07:18Andre taking his time for sure
07:22apparently doesn't like what he hears
07:25and certainly doesn't like what he sees
07:26here in Indianapolis
07:27maybe doesn't like what he sees
07:29right there in the eye
07:30of the Hulkster
07:31here he comes
07:31he's getting in McMahon
07:40yes indeed

08:05Hogan's been in total turmoil
08:09Hulkster ready to go
08:10well wait a minute

08:40Andre
08:41charging the Hulkster
08:46Hogan's starting off extremely fast

08:51here he comes off the road
08:52the Hulkster
08:53hammering away
08:54on a 7 foot 5 inch Giant
08:56look at that
08:57he can't knock him off his feet though
08:59look at the strength of Andre
09:01he's taking everything Hogan can throw
09:04and Hogan can't knock him down
09:06that's unbelievable
09:10Hulk hammering
09:11hammering
09:11hammering
09:13Hogan has started off extremely fast
09:15apparently Hogan is going to go for a fast win
09:20Hulkster
09:21ramming the head of the Giant into the buckle
09:24he's got the big man staggered
09:26I just don't know if he can get him off his feet
09:30Hulkster continuing to chop away
09:31to the rope now
09:32and off
09:33elbow to the head
09:34and that doesn't knock him down
09:35wow
09:36at least Hogan's smart enough
09:37he's not trying any body slam this time
09:41I got the right hand by the Hulkster
09:42to the rope again
09:43head first to the Giant
09:44clothesline
09:45and that doesn't knock the Giant down
09:47I can't believe this
09:49DiBiase was up
09:50now look at that
09:52he can knock DiBiase down
09:54he can knock Virgil down
09:56but he cannot knock Andre off his feet
09:58outside the ring
09:59the money went flying

10:04Hulkster stomping on the hand a moment ago

10:37and he still can't knock him down
10:39the Giants rocking and reeling

10:46wait a minute
10:46the Hulkster going out to the outside
10:48he's going up
10:49what's he going to do
10:51he's going up to the top rope
10:53Andre caught him
10:55Andre the Giant caught him
10:57from the top rope
10:58what a body slap
10:59whoa
11:02Hogan made a tremendous mistake there
11:04head back and misses
11:06the Giant missed with a head back
11:08it took the Giant to knock himself off his feet
11:11both men are injured right now
11:13Hogan better go for a cover
11:16covering
11:17here he comes
11:17no he's not covering at all
11:19look at that
11:20blatant choke hold
11:21get in there
11:22he's got the count of five
11:25that was a smart move by Andre
11:27he avoided the cover
11:28even though he went to the throat
11:29he had to do something
11:31another choke hold
11:33right down to the mat
11:38referee Dave Hedner
11:39warning Andre the Giant about that choke hold
11:41he broke just in the nick of time
11:42and he's right back on top of him
11:44that's right
11:44but he's doing it smart
11:45he's got the count of five
11:46you can see how smart Andre is
11:48Hogan has made a mistake now
11:50the match has shifted in Andre's favor
11:53right-handed
11:54knocks the holster down
11:55right back up
11:55Andre moving in
12:00uh-oh
12:01holster whip to the buckle
12:03whoa
12:04more damage to the back area
12:07oh he stamped on his hand
12:10well that's payback for all those raking of the eyes Hogan did
12:14a scoop and a slam
12:17look at how Andre manhandles Hogan
12:20oh no
12:21right into the midsection
12:22kick to the back again
12:25Andre trying to manhandle the holster
12:27the tide of this match has changed tremendously
12:30Hogan started extremely fast
12:32but now it's all in Andre's corner
12:34oh with a chop
12:36oh with a chop
12:37I can feel it McMahon
12:38the champ is gonna go down
12:43Hulkster down again
12:46Andre just pouring it on
12:49back to the holster to the corner now
12:51whoa
12:54another chop
12:58Andre at a headbutt
13:01not even the Hulkamaniacs are saving him
13:07blatant chokehold
13:08come on get in there
13:10hey
13:11Hebner's doing his job
13:12I think referee Hebner
13:13has done an outstanding job so far in this match
13:17simply outstanding
13:18he's called it equally both ways
13:23Andre with a holster
13:24trying to set him up
13:25and indeed whips him to the rope
13:26big foot to the chest
13:28and Andre goes down as well
13:30the holster to the outside
13:33wait a minute
13:33oh come on
13:36Virgil's gonna help him back in
13:37see you know why he did that McMahon
13:40because as happened earlier
13:41you can't win the title on a count out
13:44they don't want no count out
13:46they want a pin fall in the middle of that ring
13:50Andre with that strap around the throat
13:53come on
13:54get in there referee
13:56I don't think Hebner the referee sees it
13:59yes he has to see that
14:01come on give me a break
14:02as you said before Hebner doing a good job thus far
14:06well you know you gotta remember something
14:08Hebner only weighs about 150 pounds
14:11you know
14:11it's tough for Andre to listen to somebody that small
14:16million dollar man
14:17looking on
14:18he certainly appreciates what the Andre
14:20what the giant is doing to the holster
14:25Andre again with a choke
14:26wait a minute
14:29a break
14:31and right back with more
14:36watch this

14:48Hogan broke the Hulk
14:49lead to the midsection
14:51a choke to the throat
14:53another one
14:54Andre back to the corner
14:57hammering away
14:59and again
15:00I can't believe Hogan has turned it around
15:04Holster hammering it to the forehead
15:07quick in the face again
15:10Hulk what's he doing now
15:11he made that mistake earlier
15:12why is he going up again

20:17I don't care what though
20:18but Hogan is not allowed
