1
00:00:04,953 --> 00:00:06,622
We lost one of the
biggest
2
00:00:06,622 --> 00:00:08,824
icons in the world.
3
00:00:09,557 --> 00:00:15,061
He captivated millions of people
and inspired them around the
4
00:00:15,061 --> 00:00:19,032
globe, "The Immortal" Hulk
Hogan.
5
00:00:25,838 --> 00:00:27,739
Watcha gonna do
when the largest
6
00:00:27,739 --> 00:00:33,777
arms in the world and the power
of Hulkamania destroy you?
7
00:00:35,145 --> 00:00:36,780
The pop culture
phenomenon.
8
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:37,981
Who do you think you
are?
9
00:00:37,981 --> 00:00:40,016
That's Hulk Hogan.
10
00:00:40,016 --> 00:00:42,485
The 24-inch
pythons.
11
00:00:42,485 --> 00:00:44,387
"The Immortal" Hulk Hogan.
12
00:00:44,986 --> 00:00:46,521
The greatest
professional athlete
13
00:00:46,521 --> 00:00:48,390
in the world today.
14
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:50,625
Watcha gonna do
when we take a look back at the
15
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:54,862
iconic career of WWE Hall of
Famer Hulk Hogan?
16
00:00:55,429 --> 00:00:58,431
Pray, say your
prayers, eat your vitamins,
17
00:00:58,431 --> 00:01:00,333
and believe in
yourself, brother.
18
00:01:00,934 --> 00:01:04,103
This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
19
00:01:07,806 --> 00:01:09,140
If you smell--
20
00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:10,374
Oh, my God.
21
00:01:10,374 --> 00:01:12,176
What the hell are you doing?
22
00:01:12,176 --> 00:01:14,779
Absolutely
unbelievable.
23
00:01:15,679 --> 00:01:17,214
Hulkamania is
here.
24
00:01:24,019 --> 00:01:24,820
{\an8}Welcome, everyone,
25
00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:26,155
{\an8}to WWE's
Greatest Moments.
26
00:01:26,155 --> 00:01:27,422
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole.
27
00:01:27,422 --> 00:01:29,257
{\an8}And on this edition, we are
paying homage to the man that
28
00:01:29,257 --> 00:01:32,627
took professional wrestling to a
new stratosphere,
29
00:01:32,627 --> 00:01:33,927
"The Immortal" Hulk Hogan.
30
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:35,362
Watcha gonna do?
31
00:01:35,362 --> 00:01:37,064
With a career
that would span an incredible
32
00:01:37,064 --> 00:01:40,099
5 decades and earn him 12 world
championships,
33
00:01:40,099 --> 00:01:42,235
Hogan became the blueprint
for what it meant
34
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:43,736
to be a
global superstar.
35
00:01:43,736 --> 00:01:45,270
Look at all the
Hulkamaniacs.
36
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,405
Can you hear them, "Mean" Gene?
37
00:01:48,006 --> 00:01:49,975
With legions of
loyal Hulkamaniacs standing
38
00:01:49,975 --> 00:01:52,610
behind him, Hulk Hogan was
undoubtedly the most
39
00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:55,045
recognizable star in all of
Sports Entertainment,
40
00:01:55,045 --> 00:01:57,480
leading him to headline The
Showcase of The Immortals,
41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,617
WrestleMania, an
astounding eight times.
42
00:02:01,418 --> 00:02:03,485
And it all started with the very
first WrestleMania.
43
00:02:03,485 --> 00:02:06,488
The Immortal One would come
together with another television
44
00:02:06,488 --> 00:02:08,057
legend, Mr. T-
45
00:02:08,057 --> 00:02:09,090
You're dead meat.
46
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:10,591
You're dead meat,
and I pity you, fool.
47
00:02:10,591 --> 00:02:12,760
to battle
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper and
48
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,196
Paul Orndorff in a star-studded
main event for the ages.
49
00:02:18,765 --> 00:02:20,200
{\an8}I'm
pumped up.
50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,600
{\an8}25,000
plus on their feet.
51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,969
{\an8}The electricity is
unbelievable.
52
00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:27,839
{\an8}That crowd that
night, that was the highest,
53
00:02:27,839 --> 00:02:30,608
{\an8}highest point of
electricity.
54
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:31,843
I came up in the ring.
55
00:02:31,843 --> 00:02:33,077
I-I pointed right at them.
56
00:02:33,077 --> 00:02:35,479
I said, "We're gonna have a war
tonight, boys."
57
00:02:36,013 --> 00:02:37,247
Here comes
the Hulk.
58
00:02:37,347 --> 00:02:38,348
And all four of
them are going at it in the
59
00:02:38,482 --> 00:02:40,116
corner, and it's getting out of
control already.
60
00:02:40,116 --> 00:02:41,451
Pat
Patterson.
61
00:02:42,151 --> 00:02:44,120
A slam by Mr. T.
62
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,887
{\an8}Then I tag it off to
Hulk Hogan.
63
00:02:45,887 --> 00:02:48,356
{\an8}He-he's the closer, because it's
still his show.
64
00:02:48,356 --> 00:02:50,358
And tags the
champ.
65
00:02:50,358 --> 00:02:53,961
In comes the Hulk with a right
hand, driving Piper back.
66
00:02:54,595 --> 00:02:56,597
People knew the
wrestling business was-
67
00:02:56,597 --> 00:02:58,832
was changing that night.
68
00:02:58,832 --> 00:02:59,766
Oh.
69
00:02:59,766 --> 00:03:00,834
Oh, he hit
Orndorff.
70
00:03:00,834 --> 00:03:01,835
Cover, and
Pat Patterson.
71
00:03:01,835 --> 00:03:03,102
He got him.
72
00:03:03,102 --> 00:03:04,737
They got him.
73
00:03:06,271 --> 00:03:07,272
Unbelievable.
74
00:03:07,272 --> 00:03:09,874
Pandemonium here in The Garden.
75
00:03:10,875 --> 00:03:13,277
All in all, it was
a perfect springboard for what
76
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:16,313
we needed to launch the WWE into
the stratosphere.
77
00:03:16,313 --> 00:03:18,215
The night could not have been
better.
78
00:03:21,484 --> 00:03:23,185
While Hogan was
a juggernaut in the ring,
79
00:03:23,185 --> 00:03:26,155
he also had the gift of gab with
a microphone in his hands.
80
00:03:26,155 --> 00:03:29,524
Often preaching the three
demandments of Hulkamania.
81
00:03:29,524 --> 00:03:32,227
When you train,
say your prays, eat your
82
00:03:32,227 --> 00:03:35,395
vitamins, believe in yourself,
and believe in Hulk Hogan,
83
00:03:35,395 --> 00:03:37,030
you believe in Hulkamania.
84
00:03:37,398 --> 00:03:38,665
His passion
speeches made it
85
00:03:38,665 --> 00:03:39,732
clear where the power lies.
86
00:03:40,266 --> 00:03:42,335
This is where the
power lies.
87
00:03:42,335 --> 00:03:44,070
When it came to
defending the good ol' USA
88
00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:46,838
against the American turncoat
Sgt. Slaughter-
89
00:03:47,472 --> 00:03:51,275
I used to
be proud of my country,
90
00:03:51,275 --> 00:03:53,010
but not anymore.
91
00:03:53,010 --> 00:03:54,712
no one rallied
the troops better
92
00:03:54,712 --> 00:03:55,713
than the Hulkster.
93
00:03:59,416 --> 00:04:01,051
{\an8}You know the only
thing that's more dangerous
94
00:04:01,051 --> 00:04:04,987
{\an8}than nerve gas going up through
your sinuses, brother?
95
00:04:04,987 --> 00:04:08,790
Is when Hulkamania starts
creeping up on you, brother.
96
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:11,959
And it's getting ready to eat
you alive, Sgt. Slaughter.
97
00:04:12,794 --> 00:04:15,495
WrestleMania 7, I did have
America really behind me
98
00:04:15,495 --> 00:04:17,464
when I had the feud
with Slaughter.
99
00:04:17,464 --> 00:04:19,199
You know something,
Sgt. Slaughter?
100
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:22,668
You talk about all-out war,
brother, at WrestleMania 7.
101
00:04:22,668 --> 00:04:26,539
You talk about playing by your
rules, which are none at all.
102
00:04:26,539 --> 00:04:28,506
Well, let me tell you about
rules, brother.
103
00:04:28,506 --> 00:04:31,276
Here's this
former GI Joe who turned
104
00:04:31,276 --> 00:04:33,010
against his country.
105
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:35,746
{\an8}They wanted Hulk Hogan to knock
my head off.
106
00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:37,314
At that particular
time,
107
00:04:37,314 --> 00:04:38,715
{\an8}a lot of people were
great in the ring,
108
00:04:38,715 --> 00:04:40,183
{\an8}but they weren't
great on the mic.
109
00:04:40,183 --> 00:04:41,317
He had it all.
110
00:04:41,984 --> 00:04:42,885
Hulkamania's
running wilder
111
00:04:42,885 --> 00:04:44,220
than it's ever been.
112
00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:45,987
{\an8}As a kid who
lived that era,
113
00:04:45,987 --> 00:04:48,790
{\an8}who was six years old when Hogan
was preaching to me,
114
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:50,891
it was like he jumped right
through his TV screen
115
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:52,860
and talking directly to you.
116
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:54,428
The pythons are
pumped.
117
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:57,030
The Mania's ready for the WWE
title.
118
00:04:57,030 --> 00:05:01,334
{\an8}He was fighting for
the USA hero to so many people.
119
00:05:01,334 --> 00:05:03,469
{\an8}Uh, me being one at a young age.
120
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:05,938
So watcha gonna
do, Sgt. Slaughter,
121
00:05:05,938 --> 00:05:08,374
when the largest guns and the
red,
122
00:05:08,374 --> 00:05:11,576
white and blue run wild on you?
123
00:05:13,978 --> 00:05:16,179
After years of
success in WWE,
124
00:05:16,179 --> 00:05:19,850
Hulk Hogan would join competing
wrestling promotion, WCW.
125
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:23,652
Welcome, Hulk
Hogan.
126
00:05:23,652 --> 00:05:25,454
For decades,
loyal wrestling fans yearned
127
00:05:25,454 --> 00:05:28,456
for the day they'd see the
legendary Ric Flair face off
128
00:05:28,456 --> 00:05:30,725
against "The Immortal" Hulk
Hogan inside
129
00:05:30,725 --> 00:05:31,860
the squared
circle.
130
00:05:31,860 --> 00:05:33,127
They're gonna rule
out any doubt
131
00:05:33,127 --> 00:05:36,130
as to who was the best.
132
00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:37,931
You can't beat Ric Flair.
133
00:05:37,931 --> 00:05:41,434
Hogan would make
his highly anticipated WCW
134
00:05:41,434 --> 00:05:46,772
in-ring debut at the 1994 Bash
at the Beach for the WCW World
135
00:05:46,772 --> 00:05:48,940
Heavyweight Championship.
136
00:05:52,877 --> 00:05:54,011
{\an8}It's the
match we all talked
137
00:05:54,011 --> 00:05:55,546
{\an8}about as wrestling fans.
138
00:05:55,546 --> 00:05:57,180
The match we always waited for.
139
00:05:57,914 --> 00:06:00,417
Ric Flair, Hulk
Hogan, 1994,
140
00:06:00,417 --> 00:06:02,018
{\an8}Bash at the Beach,
that was a match.
141
00:06:02,018 --> 00:06:06,055
{\an8}It really represented WWE versus
WCW.
142
00:06:07,056 --> 00:06:08,890
I had a bunch of
celebrities kinda come in
143
00:06:08,890 --> 00:06:11,092
when I wrestled Ric
that first night.
144
00:06:11,092 --> 00:06:13,127
High-five
Shaquille O'Neal.
145
00:06:13,127 --> 00:06:14,961
Ric was a monster,
and I was a monster,
146
00:06:14,961 --> 00:06:17,898
and him and I together made each
other bigger monsters.
147
00:06:19,299 --> 00:06:21,434
Every eyeball in
the world is glued to this.
148
00:06:22,568 --> 00:06:24,003
Down goes
Flair.
149
00:06:24,537 --> 00:06:27,005
{\an8}All we needed to do
was just let me bring him down
150
00:06:27,005 --> 00:06:29,341
{\an8}to one knee, and we'll own this
joint.
151
00:06:31,643 --> 00:06:34,278
Never have I
seen a match where fans
152
00:06:34,278 --> 00:06:38,048
were responding to every move.
153
00:06:40,049 --> 00:06:41,250
The big foot.
154
00:06:41,250 --> 00:06:42,285
Oh, no.
155
00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:43,686
The Leg Drop.
156
00:06:44,087 --> 00:06:44,886
Oh, no.
157
00:06:44,886 --> 00:06:45,554
Please, I'll do anything.
158
00:06:45,554 --> 00:06:46,154
One-
159
00:06:46,154 --> 00:06:46,755
No.
160
00:06:46,855 --> 00:06:47,355
two-
161
00:06:47,355 --> 00:06:47,989
No.
162
00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:48,690
three.
163
00:06:50,325 --> 00:06:51,525
And the Hulkster becomes
164
00:06:51,525 --> 00:06:55,463
the WCW Heavyweight
Champion of the World.
165
00:06:55,463 --> 00:06:57,397
I loved working
with Hulk.
166
00:06:57,397 --> 00:07:00,200
Didn't matter who won or lost, I
was wrestling Hulk Hogan.
167
00:07:02,168 --> 00:07:04,069
Ric put me over,
which gave us that huge shot
168
00:07:04,069 --> 00:07:05,404
in the arm we needed.
169
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,108
When Scott Hall
and Kevin Nash left WWE
170
00:07:10,108 --> 00:07:14,112
for rival promotion WCW in
1996, it sent shockwaves
171
00:07:14,112 --> 00:07:16,113
throughout the wrestling world.
172
00:07:16,513 --> 00:07:18,915
The two would wreak havoc every
week, interrupting matches and
173
00:07:18,915 --> 00:07:21,917
accosting management all the
while hinting that a secret
174
00:07:21,917 --> 00:07:24,987
{\an8}third man was the ringleader
behind
175
00:07:24,987 --> 00:07:26,755
{\an8}all of their unrighteous acts.
176
00:07:27,555 --> 00:07:30,825
The big man and
the medium-sized man and our
177
00:07:30,825 --> 00:07:35,195
surprise buddy are gonna carve
them up.
178
00:07:36,430 --> 00:07:38,365
The identity of
Hall and Nash's accomplice would
179
00:07:38,365 --> 00:07:42,435
be revealed at Bash at the Beach
1996 and changed
180
00:07:42,435 --> 00:07:45,637
the landscape of professional
wrestling forever.
181
00:07:48,707 --> 00:07:50,474
{\an8}I don't see
three men here tonight.
182
00:07:50,474 --> 00:07:53,177
{\an8}Where is your partner?
183
00:07:53,744 --> 00:07:55,680
All you need to
know, little man,
184
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,548
is he's here and he's ready.
185
00:07:58,548 --> 00:08:00,383
Now, we're doing this, "Who's
the third man thing?"
186
00:08:00,383 --> 00:08:02,152
{\an8}This big angle at the
Bash of the Beach.
187
00:08:02,152 --> 00:08:03,786
{\an8}We're gonna l
aunch the nWo.
188
00:08:03,786 --> 00:08:05,788
They have said
the third man is here,
189
00:08:05,788 --> 00:08:07,356
but he is not in the ring.
190
00:08:07,356 --> 00:08:09,991
Hulk is in the
air, flying to Daytona Beach
191
00:08:09,991 --> 00:08:13,461
where the pay-per-view is
originating, and we still don't
192
00:08:13,461 --> 00:08:15,362
know if Hulk agrees or not.
193
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:17,264
Hulk Hogan is
here.
194
00:08:17,264 --> 00:08:18,699
Hulk Hogan's
here.
195
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:20,466
When I went out,
it looked like I was coming out
196
00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:21,734
to save Macho Man.
197
00:08:22,368 --> 00:08:23,336
Yes, sir.
198
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,671
Who's bad now,
boys?
199
00:08:25,671 --> 00:08:27,472
Hulk Hogan
arrived.
200
00:08:27,472 --> 00:08:28,540
Hulk, Hulk, Hulk.
201
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:29,274
What is he
doing?
202
00:08:29,274 --> 00:08:30,375
Oh, my God.
203
00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:31,509
Is he the third
man?
204
00:08:31,509 --> 00:08:32,776
He's the third
man.
205
00:08:32,776 --> 00:08:35,512
I wanted that
natural reaction from the fans.
206
00:08:35,512 --> 00:08:38,182
{\an8}How could our hero stab
us in the heart?
207
00:08:38,182 --> 00:08:44,486
You can call this the New World
Order of Wrestling, brother.
208
00:08:44,486 --> 00:08:46,188
I know there
was not a more shocking moment
209
00:08:46,188 --> 00:08:48,490
than Hulk Hang being the third
man.
210
00:08:48,490 --> 00:08:51,258
{\an8}That move changed everything.
211
00:08:51,892 --> 00:08:53,828
We have seen
the end of Hulkamania.
212
00:08:56,896 --> 00:08:59,499
{\an8}After years of
reigning in the red and yellow,
213
00:08:59,499 --> 00:09:02,002
{\an8}Hulk Hogan turned his back on
his fans and dawned a grim black
214
00:09:02,002 --> 00:09:05,237
and white color scheme joining
the infamous New World Order.
215
00:09:05,971 --> 00:09:09,440
Here's the nWo.
216
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,776
His new look
came with a new name,
217
00:09:11,776 --> 00:09:14,212
"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, and he'd
go on to turn
218
00:09:14,212 --> 00:09:16,013
the wrestling world upside down.
219
00:09:16,613 --> 00:09:20,616
This is nWo
country.
220
00:09:20,616 --> 00:09:23,586
But if Hollywood
really wanted to take over,
221
00:09:23,586 --> 00:09:26,122
he needed the WCW title.
222
00:09:26,122 --> 00:09:29,657
The only thing standing in his
way was a giant.
223
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:36,497
{\an8}Welcome to the
56th Annual Harley Rally.
224
00:09:36,497 --> 00:09:42,435
{\an8}250,000 bikers are here for WCW
Hog Wild.
225
00:09:42,435 --> 00:09:45,170
{\an8}Hulk Hogan, you
know, and The Giant.
226
00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:46,571
{\an8}That was a major, major match.
227
00:09:46,571 --> 00:09:48,740
Two of the
most dominant
228
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:50,208
figures in our sport.
229
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:52,476
The Giant in
WCW was such a physically
230
00:09:52,476 --> 00:09:54,445
impressive athlete.
231
00:09:54,445 --> 00:09:55,813
Big
backbreaker.
232
00:09:55,813 --> 00:09:57,447
Oh, my goodness.
233
00:09:57,447 --> 00:09:59,883
Hogan can puff up
and do everything he wants to.
234
00:09:59,883 --> 00:10:01,284
There's guys that work out that
are strong,
235
00:10:01,518 --> 00:10:04,420
{\an8}and then there's natural
giant strong.
236
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,723
That spectacle was part of
the-the drama and the emotion.
237
00:10:07,723 --> 00:10:09,457
It was amazing.
238
00:10:09,457 --> 00:10:12,360
He
chokeslammed that gigantic Nash.
239
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,361
But there, he
laid him out.
240
00:10:14,361 --> 00:10:15,896
He laid him
out with the world title belt.
241
00:10:15,896 --> 00:10:17,030
I can't believe
this.
242
00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:17,531
One, two-- No.
243
00:10:18,532 --> 00:10:19,132
We
got a new champion.
244
00:10:19,132 --> 00:10:20,733
We got a new champion.
245
00:10:21,667 --> 00:10:23,402
Hulk loved to
cheat to win.
246
00:10:23,402 --> 00:10:26,005
Dirty cheating heel, he took to
it.
247
00:10:26,005 --> 00:10:27,072
He liked it.
248
00:10:27,072 --> 00:10:28,440
He had fun doing it.
249
00:10:29,074 --> 00:10:30,475
Oh, that spray
paint.
250
00:10:30,475 --> 00:10:31,576
Oh, my God.
251
00:10:31,576 --> 00:10:33,510
They're gonna spray paint--
they're gonna--
252
00:10:33,510 --> 00:10:36,213
I
cannot believe that.
253
00:10:36,213 --> 00:10:37,281
This is unbelievable.
254
00:10:37,281 --> 00:10:38,815
I got a knot in my gut about
this situation.
255
00:10:38,815 --> 00:10:41,250
To get them to
really buy into the storyline,
256
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:44,319
and really hate me, I felt like
I accomplished something.
257
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,291
The nWo is the only way to go,
and whatcha gonna do?
258
00:10:52,326 --> 00:10:53,861
{\an8}There's no doubt
that in the 1980s few could
259
00:10:53,861 --> 00:10:56,329
{\an8}match the captivating charisma
of Hulk Hogan.
260
00:10:56,329 --> 00:11:00,200
One superstar who came close was
"Macho Man" Randy Savage.
261
00:11:01,001 --> 00:11:02,102
Macho Man is-is
on a roll
262
00:11:02,102 --> 00:11:03,569
and it can't be stopped.
263
00:11:03,569 --> 00:11:05,437
These two
powerhouses would come together
264
00:11:05,437 --> 00:11:08,873
to form the Mega Powers, a
widely popular tag team force,
265
00:11:08,873 --> 00:11:12,944
accompanied by Savage's manager,
Miss Elizabeth.
266
00:11:12,944 --> 00:11:16,480
I love Elizabeth,
just as much as the Macho Man
267
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,649
does, but in a different way.
268
00:11:19,716 --> 00:11:21,717
However,
Savage's jealousy would lead to
269
00:11:21,717 --> 00:11:23,219
the Mega Powers exploding.
270
00:11:23,819 --> 00:11:25,454
Those eyes lust
Elizabeth.
271
00:11:25,454 --> 00:11:26,388
You understand that?
272
00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:27,222
Randy, no.
273
00:11:27,222 --> 00:11:28,056
You got--
274
00:11:28,056 --> 00:11:29,324
Get out of my
face.
275
00:11:29,324 --> 00:11:29,958
Hulk Hogan,
you've got lust in your heart
276
00:11:29,958 --> 00:11:32,393
for Elizabeth, yeah.
277
00:11:32,393 --> 00:11:36,096
And you got jealousy for the
World Wrestling--
278
00:11:36,096 --> 00:11:37,298
Champion, yeah.
279
00:11:37,298 --> 00:11:39,265
{\an8}You make me sick,
Macho Man.
280
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:41,601
{\an8}At WrestleMania
5, the two former friends would
281
00:11:41,601 --> 00:11:46,338
face off in a volatile main
event for the WWE Championship.
282
00:11:49,941 --> 00:11:51,909
{\an8}This is
truly what the word
283
00:11:51,909 --> 00:11:54,111
{\an8}main event was meant for.
284
00:11:54,745 --> 00:11:56,212
{\an8}Once the bell
rang with Randy,
285
00:11:56,212 --> 00:11:58,949
{\an8}the chemistry was just
like a constant flow.
286
00:12:00,183 --> 00:12:01,184
Concerned
look on the face
287
00:12:01,184 --> 00:12:02,551
of Miss Elizabeth.
288
00:12:03,819 --> 00:12:06,855
{\an8}It was not only
just about the championship,
289
00:12:06,855 --> 00:12:08,356
{\an8}it was about Elizabeth.
290
00:12:08,356 --> 00:12:09,991
How much lower
can you go than go
291
00:12:09,991 --> 00:12:12,126
after your best friend's woman?
292
00:12:12,660 --> 00:12:14,461
{\an8}Macho Man
plays that jealous card.
293
00:12:14,461 --> 00:12:15,862
It's simple storytelling.
294
00:12:15,862 --> 00:12:17,564
Everyone gets relationships.
295
00:12:18,765 --> 00:12:19,900
Elizabeth is
gone.
296
00:12:20,433 --> 00:12:21,600
Now we'll get down to wrestling.
297
00:12:22,101 --> 00:12:22,902
The elbow.
298
00:12:22,902 --> 00:12:23,836
He got it.
299
00:12:23,836 --> 00:12:24,603
He nailed
him.
300
00:12:24,603 --> 00:12:25,705
No.
301
00:12:25,705 --> 00:12:26,738
Oh.
302
00:12:26,738 --> 00:12:28,239
This place is
going crazy.
303
00:12:28,707 --> 00:12:29,941
And the Leg Drop.
304
00:12:30,475 --> 00:12:33,777
The art form of
storytelling,
305
00:12:33,777 --> 00:12:35,946
and Liz's participation,
306
00:12:35,946 --> 00:12:38,015
I didn't realize how
special it really was.
307
00:12:38,681 --> 00:12:41,784
The Hulkster,
once again, holds up the gold.
308
00:12:44,252 --> 00:12:46,688
The monstrous
Yokozuna wreaked havoc from
309
00:12:46,688 --> 00:12:49,024
the moment he entered WWE.
310
00:12:49,024 --> 00:12:52,927
Always on his side was the
devious manager, Mr. Fuji,
311
00:12:52,927 --> 00:12:55,896
who had a few dastardly
tricks of his own.
312
00:12:55,896 --> 00:12:58,698
At WrestleMania 9, Mr. Fuji did
the unthinkable to help the
313
00:12:58,698 --> 00:13:01,334
mighty Yokozuna in defeating
Bret Hart
314
00:13:01,334 --> 00:13:03,268
for the WWE Championship.
315
00:13:04,203 --> 00:13:05,404
Fuji, what's he
doing?
316
00:13:05,404 --> 00:13:06,338
Look at this.
317
00:13:06,338 --> 00:13:07,973
Yokozuna hooks the
leg.
318
00:13:07,973 --> 00:13:09,240
We got a new
champion.
319
00:13:10,341 --> 00:13:11,776
This isn't what
the title
320
00:13:11,776 --> 00:13:13,611
is supposed to represent.
321
00:13:13,611 --> 00:13:16,146
Would anyone come to the aid of
the Hitman and stand up
322
00:13:16,146 --> 00:13:17,848
against this atrocity?
323
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:22,585
{\an8}What?
324
00:13:22,585 --> 00:13:23,819
{\an8}Hulk Hogan here.
325
00:13:24,286 --> 00:13:25,888
{\an8}I felt an
immediate roar when
326
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:27,055
they saw me come out.
327
00:13:27,055 --> 00:13:27,889
It was like, "All right.
328
00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:29,524
Something crazy's going to
happen.
329
00:13:29,524 --> 00:13:30,925
Yoko's gonna learn his lesson."
330
00:13:42,402 --> 00:13:43,603
I looked around at
the arena,
331
00:13:43,603 --> 00:13:44,936
the fans getting behind Bret.
332
00:13:44,936 --> 00:13:46,305
I rolled in there.
333
00:13:47,439 --> 00:13:48,607
Hulk Hogan's in the
ring.
334
00:13:48,607 --> 00:13:50,775
Ding, ding.
335
00:13:51,409 --> 00:13:54,578
How can anyone
defeat this man?
336
00:13:55,946 --> 00:13:58,381
He is that big.
337
00:14:00,617 --> 00:14:03,052
Oh, in the eyes of
Yokozuna.
338
00:14:05,287 --> 00:14:08,690
Hogan with the clothesline and
down goes Yokozuna.
339
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:10,258
Hogan drops the leg.
340
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:12,293
Hogan in the cover.
341
00:14:12,293 --> 00:14:12,961
No.
342
00:14:12,961 --> 00:14:13,695
Hooks the leg.
343
00:14:13,695 --> 00:14:14,428
No.
344
00:14:14,428 --> 00:14:15,562
Hulk Hogan has it.
345
00:14:15,562 --> 00:14:17,331
Hulk Hogan has won the title.
346
00:14:17,331 --> 00:14:18,398
I can't believe
this.
347
00:14:18,398 --> 00:14:20,199
And to hold the
belt up, all right,
348
00:14:20,199 --> 00:14:21,200
we've got them again.
349
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,535
It felt right.
350
00:14:23,102 --> 00:14:25,871
The fans were so locked into
Hulkamania.
351
00:14:29,407 --> 00:14:30,909
In the history
of professional wrestling, there
352
00:14:30,909 --> 00:14:33,243
have been a handful of
superstars that transcended the
353
00:14:33,243 --> 00:14:36,547
business and became mega stars.
354
00:14:36,547 --> 00:14:38,681
The 1980s had Hulk Hogan.
355
00:14:38,681 --> 00:14:42,285
The Attitude Era had "The Great
One" The Rock.
356
00:14:42,285 --> 00:14:48,557
If you smell what
The Rock is cooking.
357
00:14:49,124 --> 00:14:52,193
In 2002, over
68,000 fans packed the Toronto
358
00:14:52,193 --> 00:14:55,763
SkyDome for WrestleMania 18 to
witness
359
00:14:55,763 --> 00:14:58,932
an icon versus icon dream match.
360
00:15:01,701 --> 00:15:03,702
{\an8}History in the
making now.
361
00:15:03,702 --> 00:15:07,072
{\an8}Hulk Hogan
was the guy in the 80s and 90s.
362
00:15:07,072 --> 00:15:08,640
{\an8}The Rock was the guy now.
363
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,776
{\an8}This is a
WrestleMania moment.
364
00:15:12,343 --> 00:15:13,444
It felt like the
roof was gonna blow off
365
00:15:13,444 --> 00:15:14,645
the SkyDome, you know?
366
00:15:14,645 --> 00:15:16,713
And it was, like, really
intense.
367
00:15:16,713 --> 00:15:18,548
You know, the stare down at the
beginning.
368
00:15:18,548 --> 00:15:20,116
None of that stuff was planned.
369
00:15:20,683 --> 00:15:21,951
Most of it was listening to the
crowd.
370
00:15:23,786 --> 00:15:26,121
{\an8}That was one of the
most incredible nights I have
371
00:15:26,121 --> 00:15:32,493
{\an8}ever had in my career, because
the audience was 100% invested
372
00:15:32,493 --> 00:15:34,228
in our match.
373
00:15:34,228 --> 00:15:37,231
Listen to this,
this is amazing.
374
00:15:37,231 --> 00:15:40,233
I don't know if The Rock knows
what to think.
375
00:15:40,233 --> 00:15:41,301
Look at this.
376
00:15:42,535 --> 00:15:44,002
He switched roles
with me and did something
377
00:15:44,002 --> 00:15:46,071
a bad guy would do to somebody.
378
00:15:46,705 --> 00:15:48,573
We were not
anticipating what the crowd
379
00:15:48,573 --> 00:15:52,176
{\an8}reaction was, and Rock and Hogan
ran with it.
380
00:15:52,777 --> 00:15:54,378
The most
electrifying move
381
00:15:54,378 --> 00:15:55,979
in Sports Entertainment today.
382
00:15:55,979 --> 00:15:58,515
People's Elbow on Hulk Hogan.
383
00:15:59,115 --> 00:16:01,685
Rock with the
People's Elbow on Hogan.
384
00:16:02,184 --> 00:16:03,118
Oh.
385
00:16:03,118 --> 00:16:04,353
And The Rock wins
it.
386
00:16:05,354 --> 00:16:06,355
To be able to have
this incredible
387
00:16:06,355 --> 00:16:10,024
match with him was very special.
388
00:16:10,758 --> 00:16:14,061
He had done so
much for our business.
389
00:16:14,061 --> 00:16:15,829
It was an honor to pass the
torch to him.
390
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:18,498
What an emotional
ride.
391
00:16:20,499 --> 00:16:22,101
{\an8}Throughout the
1980s, no one was more popular,
392
00:16:22,101 --> 00:16:25,338
{\an8}more enthralling, or more
successful than Hulk Hogan.
393
00:16:25,338 --> 00:16:27,973
No man could topple the
Hulkster's empire.
394
00:16:27,973 --> 00:16:29,674
The greatest
professional athlete
395
00:16:29,674 --> 00:16:30,842
in the world.
396
00:16:30,842 --> 00:16:32,776
But a giant
might.
397
00:16:32,776 --> 00:16:36,246
At over seven feet tall and
weighing over 500 pounds,
398
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:40,216
the indomitable Andre the Giant,
challenged Hogan's status.
399
00:16:40,216 --> 00:16:42,218
I'm here for
one reason,
400
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:44,886
to challenge you for a
world championship match
401
00:16:44,886 --> 00:16:46,855
in the WrestleMania.
402
00:16:46,855 --> 00:16:49,658
With over 93,000
screaming fans in attendance
403
00:16:49,658 --> 00:16:52,093
at WrestleMania 3, the
irresistible force was set to
404
00:16:52,093 --> 00:16:55,262
face off against the immovable
object when
405
00:16:55,262 --> 00:16:58,298
"The Immortal" Hulk Hogan
put his WWE title on the
406
00:16:58,298 --> 00:17:02,101
line against the undefeated
Andre the Giant.
407
00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:06,472
{\an8}Look at the
size of The Giant.
408
00:17:07,139 --> 00:17:08,940
{\an8}I mean, Hogan is 6'8".
409
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:10,942
{\an8}Andre
is 7'5".
410
00:17:11,409 --> 00:17:13,478
{\an8}I was worried
because I didn't know if I could
411
00:17:13,478 --> 00:17:15,212
{\an8}get him up, to tell you
the truth.
412
00:17:16,246 --> 00:17:17,414
Going for a
slam.
413
00:17:17,414 --> 00:17:18,882
Oh, he almost got him up.
414
00:17:19,216 --> 00:17:20,650
You know, you
hear these legends of Andre,
415
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:23,252
{\an8}and seeing Andre, so larger than
life.
416
00:17:23,252 --> 00:17:24,487
{\an8}Almost seems mythical.
417
00:17:26,254 --> 00:17:27,422
Oh.
418
00:17:28,056 --> 00:17:29,224
{\an8}That's the
first time I think that
419
00:17:29,224 --> 00:17:31,126
{\an8}The Giant's ever been knocked
off his feet like that.
420
00:17:31,126 --> 00:17:32,526
You can feel what
is happening.
421
00:17:32,526 --> 00:17:35,696
You can feel it was gonna be
huge.
422
00:17:37,897 --> 00:17:39,132
Look at this.
423
00:17:39,132 --> 00:17:39,899
He slammed The Giant.
424
00:17:39,899 --> 00:17:41,100
He slammed him.
425
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,936
{\an8}When he got Andre
up with all of his might,
426
00:17:43,936 --> 00:17:46,605
{\an8}and got him turned over,
and gave him that slam,
427
00:17:46,605 --> 00:17:48,941
I think that was kinda of the
slam heard around the world.
428
00:17:51,709 --> 00:17:52,977
I don't believe
it.
429
00:17:52,977 --> 00:17:55,379
Hulk dropping
the big leg.
430
00:17:55,379 --> 00:17:56,813
Over for the cover.
431
00:17:56,813 --> 00:17:57,814
It's over.
432
00:17:57,814 --> 00:17:59,082
He got him.
433
00:17:59,082 --> 00:18:01,084
And I think that
was such a big moment for the
434
00:18:01,084 --> 00:18:05,354
company, for the Hulkster, and
for the movement of Hulkamania.
435
00:18:05,354 --> 00:18:06,522
What can I say?
436
00:18:06,522 --> 00:18:08,323
I never thought it could be
done.
437
00:18:08,323 --> 00:18:10,692
I'm very proud of
that WestleMania.
438
00:18:10,692 --> 00:18:13,328
It was the defining moment of
Hulkamania.
439
00:18:13,328 --> 00:18:16,163
And that guy
right there has made history
440
00:18:16,163 --> 00:18:19,600
all over the world.
441
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,601
It's now time
for our number one moment,
442
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:23,636
and it's one that changed the
trajectory
443
00:18:23,636 --> 00:18:25,404
of professional
wrestling forever.
444
00:18:25,404 --> 00:18:27,973
In 1984, when Iranian
nationalist, The Iron Sheik,
445
00:18:27,973 --> 00:18:31,710
held the most coveted prize in
all of Sports Entertainment,
446
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:34,678
WWE needed a hero.
447
00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:35,879
USA?
448
00:18:35,879 --> 00:18:36,881
Ha.
449
00:18:37,914 --> 00:18:39,515
Enter Hulk
Hogan.
450
00:18:39,515 --> 00:18:40,950
Be a real
American.
451
00:18:40,950 --> 00:18:43,720
And when the two
would face off at a sold-out
452
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,090
Madison Square Garden, the power
of Hulkamania would be born.
453
00:18:51,392 --> 00:18:52,560
{\an8}History
could be made
454
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,628
{\an8}in Madison Square Garden.
455
00:18:53,794 --> 00:18:56,196
{\an8}They have a lot of hate in their
hearts for this man.
456
00:18:56,196 --> 00:18:58,865
The minute he
stepped out into the isle,
457
00:18:58,865 --> 00:19:00,600
{\an8}the roof was coming off.
458
00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:03,636
This
is the main event.
459
00:19:03,636 --> 00:19:07,740
It is for the World Heavyweight
Championship.
460
00:19:08,506 --> 00:19:11,109
I pointed at the
Sheik, and I just looked at him.
461
00:19:11,109 --> 00:19:13,544
It was already there and the
place erupted.
462
00:19:13,544 --> 00:19:15,312
He is
incredible.
463
00:19:15,312 --> 00:19:17,347
He is on top of the Sheik.
464
00:19:17,347 --> 00:19:19,016
{\an8}You know, this is
patriotism.
465
00:19:19,016 --> 00:19:21,484
{\an8}This is Hulk Hogan with the
American flag against
466
00:19:21,484 --> 00:19:23,185
the most hated villain.
467
00:19:23,185 --> 00:19:26,154
Hogan's just
clothesline sends him down.
468
00:19:26,154 --> 00:19:27,956
Sheik going for a slam, gets him
up.
469
00:19:27,956 --> 00:19:29,624
No, backbreaker.
470
00:19:29,624 --> 00:19:31,359
Camel Clutch coming up.
471
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,560
When he put the
Camel Clutch on me,
472
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,797
I knew if I broke the hold, the
place would erupt.
473
00:19:36,797 --> 00:19:38,031
Hogan now
stands up
474
00:19:38,031 --> 00:19:39,465
with the Sheik and rams him.
475
00:19:42,435 --> 00:19:43,802
Sheik going up.
476
00:19:43,802 --> 00:19:46,538
Hulk Hogan, he drops the big leg
on him.
477
00:19:46,538 --> 00:19:47,539
He's going for the cover.
478
00:19:47,539 --> 00:19:48,473
Hooks the leg.
479
00:19:48,473 --> 00:19:49,840
One, two-- He got him.
480
00:19:53,711 --> 00:19:58,748
And new World
Wrestling-- Heavyweight
481
00:19:58,748 --> 00:20:02,851
Champion, Hulk Hogan.
482
00:20:02,851 --> 00:20:04,653
That's when
Hulkamania was born.
483
00:20:04,653 --> 00:20:06,822
Hulkamania
has taken over.
484
00:20:06,822 --> 00:20:08,022
I mean, it was the
perfect storm.
485
00:20:08,022 --> 00:20:10,625
It does not get better than
that.
486
00:20:11,259 --> 00:20:12,827
Hulkamania is
here.
487
00:20:15,262 --> 00:20:17,264
"The Immortal"
Hulk Hogan's impact
488
00:20:17,264 --> 00:20:18,532
in professional
wrestling is unmatched.
489
00:20:18,532 --> 00:20:19,966
Hulk Hogan launched Sports
Entertainment into mainstream
490
00:20:19,966 --> 00:20:24,337
pop culture where it still
stands today,
491
00:20:24,337 --> 00:20:26,137
{\an8}and though the Hulkster may
no longer be with us,
492
00:20:26,137 --> 00:20:28,974
{\an8}there's no doubt that Hulkamania
will live forever.
493
00:20:29,741 --> 00:20:32,743
{\an8}That'll do it for this edition
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
494
00:20:32,743 --> 00:20:35,412
{\an8}I hope you enjoyed this look
back at the very best
495
00:20:35,512 --> 00:20:37,414
{\an8}of Hulk Hogan, brother.
