"Everybody has to earn their spot in this company"

Hulk Hogan: "What's up, TNA-Maniacs? You guys, TNA and the maniacs, we are making history tonight, right here, in TNA's ring. You know something, guys. I been in the back all day long. There is so much talent in the back, so many young guys, that are running so hard. And yes, guys. There's a lot of old faces in the back that are ready to gear up. TNA is gonna be the number one company in the world. As I spent all day long dealing with the talent in the back, as I spent all day long hearing everybody's ideas--When I walked out here, brothers--This is the dream that I've been praying for! To feel the power of TNA, to feel the energy out here. There are so many new TNA faces out here and there's a lot of familiar faces out here. [Waltman und Hall, die in den Zuschauerreihen saßen, springen in diesem Moment über die Absperrung, werden aber von der Security zurückgehalten]

All I gotta say is with TNA and the power of the maniacs this company will not be stopped-- [erblickt nun auch Hall und Waltman] Hey! Security. Security. Hold on. Back off! Those guys got something to say, somebody give 'em a mike--Bring 'em in the ring!" [Beide betreten den Ring und begrüßen Hogan mit dem Wolfpac-Zeichen. Hogan lässt Halls Ansprache gewähren:]

Scott Hall: "Hey yo."

Hogan: "Guys, you know I'm all about the party. But you know something? If you got something to say, say it right now."

Hall: "Say hello to the bad guy. Now, when me and Pac heard that Easy E was here, that Hulk Hogan was gonna be here and 'Big' Kevin Nash has been here--That means one thing to us: big paychecks, big sold-out arenas and big parties."

Hogan: "Let me tell you something, Scott. This is a different time and this is a different place. It doesn't work that way anymore, brother."

Sean Waltman: "Ey, you see, that's where you're wrong. It is the same place, it's the same people and where here TO PAR-TY!"

Hogan: "Guys, not this time. It's gonna be totally different this time."

Hall: "Let me get this right, Hulkster. You're the biggest name in our industry, the highest paid guy ever. And now you're telling me you wanna change the business? You wanna change the way things are happening? Well, in case you haven't heard, things are changing at TNA--"

Hogan: "No. You wait a minute. It's time, it's time that we all grow up. And we do the right thing for this business, brother. The right thing for the business!" ['Hogan! Hogan!']

Hall: "You're right. He deserves everyone of your chants. I grew up watching you wrestle, brother. You paved the way. You're the one who made millions of dollars. And you telling me things have changed? You're right. Things changed. And brother, they're gonna change with ya or without ya." [Nashs Musik ertönt und nun betritt Kevin Nash den Ring]

Kevin Nash: "Scott, Kid, really, listen. Hulk's got a role to play tonight, right? Let him play it."

Hogan: "No, Kevin. This isn't a role, brother. When I became partners with Dixie, I gave her my word. We were gonna do the right thing. We were gonna make a change and change this company for the better. It's not the way it was."

Nash: "Well, you know I've been talking to you for five, six weeks on the phone now. And that's not exactly the conversation we've been having. I'm just curious, I'm just curious--When the hell did you turn so corporate?"

Hogan: "You know something, Big Kev? It's not about turning corporate. You guys are my brothers for life. But you guys need to do this for real. It's a different time." [Hall und Waltman gestikulieren wild herum und scheinen Hogan zu bedrohen, da ertönt eine Musik und Eric Bischoff macht sich auf den Weg in den Ring]

Eric Bischoff: "Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it? Brings back memories, doesn't it? I mean, look around you, in this ring right now are the guys that reinvented this business. We took on the 800 pound gorilla and we put him in a little monkey cage and we spanked him. And in the process, in the process we changed this business forever. One thing, guys. Hopefully we're all just a little smarter. Now, I was the one who put this band together in the first place. Alright? Got a little experience here. But one thing I learned, and I've got the scar tissue to prove it, is that it's all about communication, guys. Alright? And I think there's been a serious, serious breakdown of communication. Alright?"

Waltman: "Well, then please, Eric, explain it to us!"

Bischoff: "I will. See, here's the deal. What Hulk's just trying to tell you is everybody--Everybody has got to earn their position in this company. Everybody."

Nash: "Easy E. Hear you loud and clear, talk to you later." [Daraufhin verschwinden Nash, Hall und Waltman]

Hogan: "Like Eric said. At TNA everybody has to earn their spot here. I don't care about the past relationships, I don't care who thinks they're on a role. The game changes now. Everybody has to earn their spot in this company."

Bischoff: "And it's gonna change. The team of Hogan and Bischoff have done it before. And I'm damn well sure we can do it in TNA. Cause there's a whole lot of talent, great talent in the back. And there's a whole lot of heart in this company. And we're gonna take it to the very top. But I can assure you things are going to change. I don't care if you're the damn janitor, I don't care if you're the World Heavyweight Champion, I don't care if you're the cameraman. Everybody, everybody is gonna be under a microscope."

Hogan: "And the change starts tonight. From the moment we got here we started shuffling the deck. Things are gonna change until we conquer, become the number one sports-entertainment company in the world. And the change will keep on going until we're on top of the mountain."

Bischoff: "I love it. In fact, if we're gonna make some changes, why don't we start right now? Where's the producer, who's got a format for me? Somebody's got a format."

Hogan: "Where's the producer?"

Bischoff: "Where is he? Come on, I wanna see a format. Somebody give me a format. [SoCal Val reicht Bischoff den Ablaufplan der Show] Alright, this is what we thought--I should say, you thought, you were gonna do tonight. We had a chance to look this over a little earlier. And hey, there's nothing wrong with this at all. I mean, you get an A for effort. But like the Hulkster says-- [Bischoff zerreisst den bisherigen Ablaufplan] We're starting over. That's what you've thought you're gonna do. Here little lady. [überreicht SoCal Val den neuen Ablaufplan] Pass it on to your director. Cause that is what we are going to do. And what we're going to do is turn this company upside down! Starting, I don't know, RIGHT NOW."

Hogan: "Well, you know something? For every TNA-Maniac in this building--If you can't talk and you can't wrestle--Pack your bags and head up north! Because right now, we're checking everybody out. And by the way--Whatcha gonna do when TNA and all these maniacs become number one in the world just for you?"
