"How do you feel about headlining one more WrestleMania... with The Rock?"
Date:
18.02.2002
Hollywood Hogan: "You know guys, it feels great to be back in this ring, in the WWF. I mean, the WWF made Hulk Hogan a legend. And it even feels greater tonight to be out here in front of you WWF fans, right here tonight, I mean, we've been through everything together. If I reminisce and I think back, I mean we've fought the Russians, man, we fought the monsters - I mean, my God, we even took Andre The Giant, God bless his soul... seven hundred pounds of Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III - you and I, we took Andre The Giant, we pressed him over our heads, and we slammed him. I mean my God, we've done it all together. But you know somethin'? Something happened. And then you people turned on me. I mean, why did you start takin' Hulk Hogan for granted? I never wanted to leave the WWF; I wanted to stay here in the WWF. I wanted to end my career here in the WWF.

I mean, suddenly, you didn't have any more respect for Hulk Hogan. Suddenly, you drove me out - the WWF fans drove me out of the WWF. It's just like what you people did to Michael Jordan in Chicago. You took Michael Jordan - you took Michael Jordan for granted, and you drove him outta the - outta Chicago, that's exactly what the WWF fans, what you did to me. Ever since you fans drove me out of the WWF, I've had something I've wanted to say, and now that I'm back in the WWF, thanks to Mr. Vince McMahon... there's only one thing that I've gotta say to you WWF fans. You can kiss my ass! I'm the reason all of you people are here, I'm the one that put the WWF on the map, and I'm the one that made wrestling as big as it is today. That's right, there's nobody in this business that's a bigger icon than I am, there's nobody in this business that's sold out more arenas than I have, there's nobody in this business that'll go down in the history books other than Hollywood Hulk Hogan, and to lay it out nice and straight for all you WWF fans that drove me out of the WWF - I'm the biggest star, past or present, in the wrestling world today, and there'll never, ever be a bigger star in the wrestling business than Hollywood Hulk Hogan!"

[The Rock betritt die Halle und kommt in den Ring.]

The Rock: "Finally The Rock has come back to Chicago!! Hulk Hogan and The Rock, in the same ring. Who would have thought that they would've ever seen... Hogan, and The Rock. Hulk Hogan, The Rock heard what you were saying in the back, The Rock was listening, and The Rock agrees with you... on some things. But let The Rock ask you something: do you really think that it was the fans? Do you actually think that it was the people that drove you out of the WWF? Is that what you think?"

Hollywood Hogan: "That's exactly what..."

The Rock: "It doesn't matter what you think!! The only thing that matters is you realise, it was not the people that drove you out of the WWF, no no no, no, they loved you! They believed in you! And, dammit, The Rock believed in you! But you know what happened? It was years after years after years. It was years after years of you eating the vitamins, saying the prayers, ripping your T-shirt off, running wild over everyone, 'What'cha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild over you?'

Oh, The Rock'll tell ya - The Rock'll tell you what the people did - after all that, the people ran - they ran all right - they ran right to the toilet, pulled their pants down, took one big Hulkacrap every time you opened your mouth! You know what? The Rock will say this about you, Hollywood Hulk Hogan: you are, without a shadow of a doubt, a legend - you are, without a shadow of a doubt, an icon - quite possibly, the best ever. And seeing as you are back in the WWF because of Vince McMahon, The Rock has one thing to say: you talk about headlining, main eventing WrestleMania after WrestleMania after WrestleMania. Well, Hulk Hogan, The Rock says how do you feel about headlining one more WrestleMania... with The Rock?"

Hollywood Hogan: "You know something, Rock... they've got a name - a phrase for guys like you. It's called 'flavour of the month.' Oh yeah, I've seen a lotta guys like you come and go - they're a dime a dozen. What makes you think you're even in my league? What makes you think you're even close to being as big a star as I am? What makes you..."

The Rock: "Yes... or no? Let The Rock paint a picture for you. The fantasy matchup no one would have ever thought they could have ever seen. The fantasy matchup that transcends this industry. The fantasy matchup that will determine who will go down in history as being the absolute best - ever. But you know what? Maybe it's... [Das Publikum überschlägt sich mit Hogan- und Rocky-Chants.] You know what? Maybe it's not up to you to decide. Maybe it's not up to The Rock to decide. Maybe, just maybe, it's up to... the people. At WrestleMania, do you people want to see the Immortal Hulk Hogan go one on one with the Great One? [Das Publikum kocht förmlich über und jubelt, was das Zeug hält, während sich Rocky erneut Hogan zuwendet.] Yes... or no?"

Hollywood Hogan: "YES. You know, Rock... they are right. It'll be a pleasure to kick your ass at WrestleMania. So I say, let's do it. [Hogan streckt The Rock die Hand entgegen und dieser schlägt auch nach kurzem Überlegen ein.] And by the way, Rock... good luck [er zieht Rocky näher heran] 'cause you're gonna need it."

[Hogan versucht den Ring zu verlassen, wird jedoch von The Rock nicht aus dem Handschlag entlassen.]

The Rock: "Not as much as you... [er zieht Hogan näher heran]... BROTHER!"

[Hogan kassiert einen Rock Bottom und bleibt zunächst im Ring liegen. Als sich Rocky feiernd aus dem Ring zurückziehen und die Halle verlassen will, stürmen die Outsiders heran und fallen über ihn her.]
- Einen Tag zuvor debütierte bei No Way Out die New World Order in Form von Kevin Nash, Scott Hall und Hollywood Hogan und war dort mit The Rock und Steve Austin aneinandergeraten.
