Gene Okerlund: "Oh, what a reception! Jimmy Hart, The Big Brother, and The Hulkster, what about this reception?"

Hulk Hogan: "Well you know something something, 'Mean' Gene, now that Hulkamania has been running wild in the WCW for a while, tonight, with the energy we've got out there, brother, with career versus career, the two greatest wrestlers of all time get it on, brother, in just a few weeks, you have to admit, big dude, that Hulkamania, brother, is at an all-time fever pitch, dude!

Gene Okerlund: "And what about tonight? You and Dave Sullivan facing Ric Flair... and this mystery partner!"

Hulk Hogan: "Well you know all over the airport today, brother, the Hulkamaniacs were posing, man. The good looking Hulkamiancs were hitting calf shots and Hulkamania's runnin' wild out here. But you gotta admit, the greatest Hulkamaniac of all, brother, has gotta be my tag team partner tonight, brother, and that's my main-man, big brother Dave, and he's runnin' wild too, brother!"

Gene Okerlund: "Alright, uh... Now speaking of that... Oh ho! [Dave Sullivan makes his way out dressed in Hulk Hogan merchandise] Jimmy Hart look at this!"

Jimmy Hart: "Look at him! Doesn't he look great, baby? The number one Hulkamaniac baby!"

Gene Okerlund: "I wonder, Hulkster-- [to Dave Sullivan] Are- are you ready, Dave?"

Dave Sullivan: "Oh I'm- I'm read-- I'm excited-- I'm a Hulkamaniac an-- they better watch out. I got- I got my magic slippers [some wrestling boots Hogan gave him] on too, ya!"

Hulk Hogan: "Well you know something, 'Mean' Gene, everywhere Dave has been going, he's been leaving yellow and red footprints, brother. He's been sleeping in those magic slippers. He's been going all over the place in those magic slippers. And brother Dave, just like any good Hulkamaniac, you have to be fashionably accepted, brother, and now that you've been wearing those boots with ya', all through the airport, and even at bed at night, we've got a special little surprise that Jimmy Hart and The Big Brother in the back, we got this together for ya [Hart hands Dave Sullivan a box wrapped in hold paper] and this is a present from the Hulkamaniacs to you, dude! Go ahead Dave! Open it up brother! Tear it apart!" [Sullivan starts to unwrap the present]

Gene Okerlund: "Alright Dave, you don't have to be nice about this... I- I'm curious to see what it is! [Dave Sullivan finally gets the paper off. He starts to open the box] There we go... Oh you've got to be kidding me! [the present is revealed. Hulk Hogan has given Dave Sullivan a Hulk Hogan gown, complete with an airbrushed portrait of Hulk Hogan on the back and the phrase 'HULK RULES' written in large letters across the shoulders] Look at that...! Well that's not just a Jackie Gleason smoking jacket! That is a robe! [Dave Sullivan puts the robe on] My word, look at that! Ohoh! Hulkster, what a touch--"

Hulk Hogan: "Well you know something, 'Mean' Gene, with the magic slipper's on, with a cape like Superman, even kryptonite himself-- [Dave Sullivan's (kayfabe) older brother Kevin makes his way through the curtain] Wait a minute, what's he doing--?"

Gene Okerlund: [to Kevin Sullivan] "Hey Kevin Sullivan-- [Kevin is acosting Dave] Kevin Sullivan--?"

Kevin Sullivan: [to Dave] "What the hell do you think you're doing?! Last week I told you, you would never team up with Hogan, you understand me?! It's time to come back, to-- with me!"

Dave Sullivan: "But you gotta understand, he gave me these magic slippers and this beautiful robe, look at it, it's all red and yellow, it's real pretty-- I-I'm here to help him and I wanna be a Hulkamaniac--"

Hulk Hogan: [to Kevin] "Wait a second, Kevin Sullivan! He's a Hulkamaniac! He's a man and he can stand on his own two feet without you!"

Kevin Sullivan: "Well let me tell you something, [to Dave] don't believe this Hulkamaniac stuff, you can say your prayers, you can take your vit-- even workout - it doesn't work for guys like you or me!"

Dave Sullivan: "Hey, let me tell you something brother--"

Kevin Sullivan: "Wait a second! Let me tell you something. Hogan gave you the... new- new jacket?! And he gave you the magic slippers!?

Gene Okerlund: "A ROBE!"

Kevin Sullivan: [to Dave] "Would you like ME to give you something?"

Dave Sullivan: "I got something-- he told me I'm a man, and I got something for you..."

Kevin Sullivan: [poking his finger in Dave's chest] "WHAT. WOULD YOU. POSSIBLY. HAVE. FOR. ME?"

Dave Sullivan: "This!" [Dave punches Kevin in the face]

Gene Okerlund: "OH! OH MY! [Kevin retreats back through the curtain] No wait a minute! Hold on! I can't believe it! I can't believe that... That has been a long time in coming, Hulkster!"

Hulk Hogan: [to Dave] "You know something, big brother Dave, you're the man - you're the number one Hulkamaniac, and that's just a little dose of what anyone's gonna get, that messes with the number on Hulkamaniac. You know something brother Dave? I can't wait to get in that ring, real shortly, with the so-called greatest wrestler Ric Flair and the partner of his choice, man. I want you to slap Ric Flair around, and his partner, just like that, brother! [to camera] And what you gonna do, Ric Flair, when Hullk Hogan, the Hulkamaniacs and big brother Dave--

Dave Sullivan: [off-mic] "The biggest Hulkamaniac!"

Hulk Hogan: "The biggest one of all! Run wild on you! What you gonna do?"

Gene Okerlund: "How about it, ladies and gentlemen? Hulk Hogan and Dave Sullivan, here live on TBS, just moments from now, to team up against 'The Nature Boy' and a mystery partner!"

[2.0] "A poor start to a poor feud. Amazingly this is only Hogan's third TV appearance in the three months since he signed with WCW, so the crowd is hot, but the promo is certainly not. Hogan's use of the word "brother" is excessive at the best of times, but you bring in a character called "The Big Brother" and two storyline brothers in Kevin and Dave Sullivan and it crosses far, far into the reaches of self parody. And let's talk about Dave Sullivan for a second-- actually, you know what? Let's not. The character was cringe of the highest order, so in that regard it had something in common with this segment. On an equally disappointing, but somewhat unrelated note, Flair's "mystery partner" on this episode? Bunkhouse Buck. And you thought Satnam Singh was an underwhelming "surprise"..."
