Date:
17.01.1987
['Rowdy' Roddy Piper is here to present a special edition of 'Piper's Pit' to mark the (almost) three years anniversary of Hulk Hogan becoming WWF Champion. On stage is an enormous golden trophy that will be awarded to Hogan]

Roddy Piper: "Nineteen hundred and eighty seven - and I'm still alive! In the true fashion of 'Piper's Pit', I have something that - you can tell - very prestigious, and possibly the most important 'Pit' I have ever done, in my entire life. Obviously, we have here a presentation. And to do the presentation, I would like the President of the WWF, Jack Tunney, to please come on out here, and issue this presentation." [Tunney joins Piper on stage]

Jack Tunney: "Thank you!"

Roddy Piper: "Pleasure to have you here."

Jack Tunney: "Ladies and gentlemen, we're delighted to help honour a very special man, on a very special occasion. Let me read what it says on this trophy. Three years ago this week, you captured the WWF Heavyweight Championship belt in a memorable battle. You're one of the greatest professional athletes in the history of sports. You are a champion who has raised wrestling to heights never before scaled. You are one of America's most patriotic citizens. You are loved and idolised by men, women, and children of all ages. You are the single most recognisable star in the entire world. We salute you on the third anniversary of your reign. Let all honour the one and only Hulk Hogan!" [Hogan comes out to loud cheers.]

Roddy Piper: "This-- [Piper stops as Hogan lofts the trophy high in the air. He shows it to the crowd before placing it down again] It's yours!"

Hulk Hogan: [to the crowd] "Unbelievable! You know, January 23rd 1984, when I won the World Title, I knew there was something special, man! I knew there was some of electricity. But I never believed three long years down the road, thousands of people, just like you, would all turn into Hulkamaniac!. And to receive an award... To receive an award for something that I believed in: The training, the saying the prayers, the eating the vitamins. To be rewarded for winning this thing, this is unbelievable. This has got to be... just as great as when I won the World Title. This has got to be just as great as the first time I saw you Hulkamaniacs. And from here, it's higher and higher we go! This is unbelievable. Unbelievable." [Hogan's friend Andre The Giant joins them, with a big smile on his face]

Roddy Piper: "Woah-ho-ho! Ladies and gentlemen, Hulk Hogan's best friend: Andre The Giant! [to Andre] I'm sure you have come here for congratulations, and I'm sure you have something to say?"

Andre The Giant: "Three years to be a champion; it's a long time."

Roddy Piper: "Three years, yes... [Andre shakes Hogan's hand. Hard. Hogan sells it like his hand is broken] Well, well - a nice trophy! Nice trophy here! There you go Hogan. There's to ya; World Heavyweight Champion, Hulk Hogan!"
