00:00Hogan hooked up for the very first time. Tonight, it's Hulk Hogan, ROK 2!
00:05Without a doubt, the first Hulk Hogan vs. ROK match was history in the making.
00:10And tonight, again, I'm going on a record. This will be off the hook.
00:15It is ROK Hogan 2, next, from Montreal!
00:19This is so special, JR! This is so unique! This truly is a dream match!
00:32The ROK and the immortal Hulk Hogan!
00:36Man, that was a thunderous ROK bottom for the Brahma Bull!
00:41And the Hogan fans here, not pleased with that offensive move.
00:44And wait a minute, here it comes! The most electrifying move!
00:48It's brought to the table today, people, on Hulk Hogan!
00:53Oh! Man, that was a unique dichotomy of fan support back and forth.
01:00I don't know if the ROK knows what to think. I don't think he ever suspected this.
01:07I just want you to know, ROK, someday, ROK, Hulk Hogan and the ROK are going to square off
01:14one more time, brother. Anytime, anyplace, it would be my honor.
01:27Hulk Hogan is back, Jack! I just signed a brand new contract!
01:33Hulkamania is going to run wild, brother!
01:37Who the hell do you think you are? I created Hulkamania! I will kill it!
01:47There's no way out for the Hulkster, because at No Way Out, in one corner,
01:53you'll have Hulk Hogan and all this Hulkamania! In the other corner, you'll have none other than...
02:00The ROK! You want The ROK to face Hulk Hogan, a rematch from last year's Wrestlemania.
02:08At No Way Out, The ROK says, you bet your candy asses The ROK is going to face you at No Way Out,
02:13Hulk Hogan. It's going to be Hulk Hogan versus The ROK of Jabroni, part two.
02:20You call The ROK a ROK of Jabroni? Let The ROK remind you of something. One year ago,
02:26you were nothing. You were worthless. And it was only until The ROK challenged you to go to
02:32Wrestlemania that you became popular again. You call The ROK a ROK of Jabroni? Are you going to
02:38apologize to The ROK? Yes or no? Hell no! Look at me, Hulk Hogan! Maybe you don't remember last
02:50year's Wrestlemania, the biggest matchup of all time. It's going to happen again, the biggest
02:54rematch of all time this Sunday. Maybe you don't remember because The ROK just whooped that ass so
02:58bad you don't remember. The ROK remembers. May The ROK go talk in your language. How about this?
03:03Well, let me tell you something, brother. What you're going to do...
03:08Whoa, Hogan. I didn't mean anything I was saying. I'm just entertaining. You know that?
03:15Let's electrify this Sunday like I know you and The ROK can.
03:19Anytime. Anyplace. One more time, brother.
04:19So
04:41if you're
04:50talking
04:55it's cooking.
05:20The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring from Miami, Florida,
05:25weighing in at 260 pounds, The ROK! It is the slow saunter
05:35of the man who calls himself the most electrified man in all of entertainment.
05:40The ROK just sauntering his way down the ring as slow as he damn well pleases, demanding respect.
05:54It used to be that The ROK would earn respect from the people. It seems now The ROK is demanding it.
06:02Oh, so many of the fans are here. The world wrestling entertainment feel that The ROK has
06:12turned his back on them. Kidding? In your opinion? I don't know. I mean, in my opinion, I think some
06:20of the people might have turned their back on The ROK. The ROK gave the people a choice last week.
06:24He told the people to decide. And based on the way The ROK's been acting lately,
06:29I believe the people made their choice loud and clear.
07:00And from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 285 pounds, Hulk Hogan!
07:10Listen to the adoration of a legend.
07:29For so many years, Cole, Hulkamania has been running wild worldwide.
07:50It's much like the reaction in Montreal the day after WrestleMania last year.
07:57Ever since WrestleMania, when 70,000 fans in Toronto cheered for Hulk Hogan,
08:04in my estimation, The ROK has never been the same.
08:12To be a great performer in this industry, a great wrestler, you gotta have an ego.
08:17And when the ego gets shut down sometimes by a big adore, it cuts it to heart if you smell it.
08:26Hulk Hogan acknowledging these 16,000 plus fans, something The ROK did not do
08:37when he came out here. It seems to me Hulk Hogan has become the people's champion.
08:46And you know, Taz, The ROK seems taken aback by the reaction of this crowd to Hogan.
08:57Take it back, The ROK won't get in the ring.
09:05This arena is just on fire right now. People are going bananas.
09:15The ROK is living.
09:25There used to be these cheers for The ROK. Tonight The ROK has lost home ice advantage to Hogan.
09:44It is a matchup of arguably the two most influential figures in sports entertainment history.
10:04The ROK is taken aback, perhaps bewildered by this response.
10:14The 6'6", 285 pound Hogan turned his back on The ROK, but Hogan felt The ROK coming.
10:24And here we go, return match. It's ROK-Hogan 2 from the bell center.
10:30ROK, the 7th time WWE champion, slides out of the ring to get away from the 6th time WWE champion.
10:40You might not agree with me, but I agree with what The ROK's tactics were there.
10:43Bring this pace to your pace. ROK is doing the right thing.
10:47The people are solidly behind Hulk Hogan. Hey, chill out, take your time, ROK.
10:53Let him lead, let him dance your dance.
10:55Well, The ROK, 6'5", 260 pounds from Miami. As I mentioned, 7th time WWE champion.
11:01The ROK, a 6-year pro. For Hogan, a 25-year pro. A 6-time champion.
11:076'6", 285 pounds from Tampa, Florida. These two forces collide tonight.
11:21The ROK is really shook up here, Cole.
11:27Perhaps The ROK thinking a bit too much. Stalling may cost him here.
11:31Hogan explodes with a right hand.
11:34I thought maybe ROK was gonna call his personal assistant to see what time he could get in the ring.
11:38Well, Hollywood seems to have gone to the head of The ROK, but he draws Hogan into the ring.
11:42And The ROK looking for, perhaps, acceptance from these folks.
11:46Not going to get it here tonight.
11:48And The ROK with a big right hand to Hulk Hogan.
11:51Well, obviously, the speed is in The ROK's advantage. Youth is in The ROK's advantage.
11:57And a big right hand. You see the referee, Sylvan Granje, from Montreal.
12:01Wrapped a match on Sunday night. He here tonight.
12:03Big win for Rey Mysterio in that one. Been an electric night in Montreal as The ROK.
12:07And Hogan! Oh, look out!
12:11Elbow to the midsection.
12:23And there's the 10th one, for good measure.
12:25The ROK is in trouble.
12:27Hulk Hogan will ROK the jabroni.
12:29Well, ROK looks in tremendous condition since returning.
12:31As does Hulk Hogan.
12:35And The ROK is knocked down as Hogan begins to feed off this crowd.
12:41Keep in mind, Hogan's had it with The ROK.
12:43The ROK came out here last week, Daz, and said that he takes pride in recreating Hulkamania.
12:50The ROK believes the match at WrestleMania last year was his doing,
12:54and that he created Hulk Hogan and revived his career.
12:57Let's face it.
12:59Nice move by The ROK.
13:01Hot shot in Hogan's throat, right across the top rope.
13:03Let's face it, Cole.
13:05People love The ROK.
13:07Let's face it. Backstage, he never had a confluence problem.
13:09Not at all.
13:11The ROK's just explaining that right now.
13:13Calling for The ROK bottom. The ROK stalking Hogan.
13:15Will this one be over as quickly as it began?
13:19We'll see. I ain't going for a ROK bottom early.
13:21I don't know about this.
13:24Here we go!
13:26ROK bottom to Hogan.
13:28I don't know if he got all of that.
13:30Hogan just kicked out.
13:32Wow.
13:34I don't know what happened there.
13:36I don't know if he got all of that.
13:38Did you see The ROK's face?
13:40He can't believe that Hogan kicked out of The ROK bottom.
13:42I don't believe Hogan was weakened enough.
13:44And look at The ROK now.
13:46Mocking, humiliating The ROK.
13:48This is what Hogan is. He's an entertainer.
13:50Thanks, Cole.
13:52What did I say?
13:54What did I mean to say?
13:56And look at The ROK pulling the belt off of Hogan.
13:58Uh-oh.
14:00Oh!
14:02The ROK has that new tattoo on his body.
14:04His tattoo holds back.
14:06And The ROK...
14:12But yet The ROK is laying that patent leather belt
14:14right in the back of The ROK.
14:16New haircut, new tattoo,
14:18new attitude from The ROK.
14:20Oh, my. Come on.
14:22With that warm and that weightlifting belt.
14:24And panties.
14:26And look at Hogan.
14:28He caught The ROK napping.
14:30A little too much showboating for The ROK.
14:32Hey, speaking of tattoos,
14:34hey, ROK, here's one for your other arm.
14:36Hogan pulls around.
14:38Pops around.
14:40That's not gonna...
14:42That's not gonna fix Hollywood
14:44if he only walks on you, man.
14:46And Hulk Hogan
14:48has exploded.
14:50He is sick of the humiliation.
14:52He is whipping the tar out of the man's hands
14:54who spat in Hogan's face last week.
14:56He spat in the man's face.
14:58The ultimate form of humiliation.
15:00Hogan! Hogan! Hogan!
15:02Hogan! Hogan! Hogan!
15:04Hogan! Hogan! Hogan!
15:06Did you hear the Hulkamaniacs?
15:08Hulkamania running wild right here in Montreal
15:10building, building the chance of Hogan.
15:12Well, Hulk Hogan has that brand-new contract.
15:14Hulk Hogan wanted Mr. McMahon
15:17tonight, but McMahon gave him
15:19The ROK instead.
15:21You know, it's like, uh,
15:23both these...
15:25Both ROK kicked him.
15:27And look at that!
15:29Like it or not, man,
15:31The ROK, a great athlete,
15:33a lot of time
15:35spent away from the ring,
15:37The ROK has not missed a beat.
15:39Well, The ROK is smelling it.
15:43The ROK is over the top.
15:45The ROK is over the top
15:47in his actions.
15:49I've just met both these great superstars
15:51a part of SmackDown.
15:53They're not cruiserweights.
15:55Some people out here think, oh, SmackDown houses cruiserweights.
15:57That's another story for another time.
15:59ROK, two shots to the kidney
16:01of Hogan.
16:03And The ROK, oh, look at this.
16:05The ROK calling for it.
16:07It is the sharpshooter!
16:09The sharpshooter is locked in
16:11to Hogan.
16:13The sharpshooter with the grenade
16:15up into the face now of Hogan.
16:17Asking Hogan if he will tap in this matchup.
16:19Tough move to get out.
16:21A very tough...
16:23I don't know how much flexibility Hogan has
16:25in his lower back.
16:27A lot of years.
16:29Hogan gets to the bottom rope.
16:31Forces The ROK to...
16:33Thought he had to break the rope,
16:35but he didn't.
16:37The ROK.
16:39He is the sharpshooter.
16:41He has a ton of heart.
16:43He's a 25-year veteran.
16:45But how much more can the 25-year veteran
16:47stand of the sharpshooter?
16:49And the pain just shoots from the lower back
16:51right up into your spine and your neck
16:53with this hold.
16:55This doesn't just affect your knees and your ankle.
16:57This affects your lower back.
16:59The ROK talked a lot of trash to these fans
17:01to start this matchup.
17:03But right now, it's all business for The ROK.
17:05Hogan's arm is down once.
17:07Hogan is locus now, Taz.
17:10Arm is down twice.
17:12If it goes down again, this matchup's over.
17:14The ROK is pretty...
17:20Here we go.
17:22Look at Hogan. Where is he getting this power from?
17:24Breaking that hold with...
17:28Where is he getting that power from?
17:30He's getting that power from the heart.
17:32The strength of Hogan.
17:34I'm gonna try and say this again.
17:36Pure strength.
17:38Two words. I was trying to spit out.
17:40And ROK up to the apron.
17:42Cannot believe that Hogan broke the sharpshooter.
17:44But how much damage was done?
17:46As you see Hogan flipping over here.
17:48Exploding with a clothesline.
17:54The ROK mocking Hogan and the crowd.
17:56Hogan and the crowd.
18:06And the people chose to boo The ROK.
18:08And after watching The ROK's actions tonight,
18:10I can't quite blame the people.
18:12The ROK worked his ass off to get where he is, Cole.
18:14ROK said that doesn't count on SmackDown.
18:16He worked his ass off.
18:18And a steel chair bounces off a steel post.
18:20And Hogan with a right hand.
18:22And Hogan with another right.
18:24And Hogan with a steel chair.
18:26Stuck back on The ROK.
18:32The referee is just letting this match
18:34roll along here.
18:36Hogan with a steel chair in hand.
18:38Referee shoved out of the way.
18:40Grenier grabs the steel chair.
18:42A long, long referee
18:44had his back turned.
18:46Can't blame the ref on that.
18:48The ref was doing his job
18:50taking the chair away from Hogan.
18:53Referee don't see it.
18:55You can nail someone with a low blow.
18:57The so-called former People's Champion in my mind.
18:59I'm not putting words in my mouth.
19:01I didn't say condone it.
19:03I'm just saying the referee's got his back turned
19:05on a man like Hogan.
19:07You can nail him low blow.
19:09I'd do it. I don't blame The ROK.
19:11Still not right as The ROK looks to take advantage
19:13of the low blow.
19:15Don't mean it didn't work.
19:17And here comes a ROK bottom courtesy of The ROK.
19:19Spinebuster!
19:21And this is, or was,
19:23the most electrifying move
19:25in sports entertainment today.
19:30After tonight, they may have to rename
19:32the People's Elbow.
19:34Surprised they didn't put an elbow pad back at The ROK.
19:36How about the I'm-in-love-with-myself elbow?
19:38Uh-oh, here we go.
19:40People's Elbow's right to the heart
19:42of Hogan. The ROK.
19:44What's this?
19:46He's just having fun, The ROK.
19:48A mocking Hogan as he delivers another elbow.
19:50The cover. That's it.
19:52On Hogan. It's over with.
19:54Hogan kicks out. Powers out.
19:58The Hulkster's hulking up.
20:00Hulkamania!
20:10Don't do it, ROK.
20:12You have to do something else.
20:14The right hand's having little effect.
20:16Let him try before. The Hulkster's feeling it.
20:18Listen to this crowd.
20:20Hulkamania lives in Montreal.
20:22Hogan just leaps for now.
20:24Hogan just brings the people right into it.
20:30That was ROK to his mocking Hogan.
20:32And that may cost The ROK.
20:34I know.
20:36ROK breaks across the ring by...
20:38Oh!
20:42The end is near.
20:44You know what's next, my man.
20:46Vintage Hulk Hogan.
20:48Leg drop in the house.
20:50Hogan off the ropes.
20:52It's over.
20:54The cover. There's two.
20:56Wait a minute.
20:58What the hell?
21:00What the hell just happened?
21:02Now what?
21:04The lights are out.
21:06What the hell?
21:08Wait a minute.
21:10Referee's been knocked down.
21:12How the hell did that steel chair get in the ring?
21:15Hogan had The ROK defeated
21:17off the leg drop.
21:19And the damn lights went out.
21:21And now the referee's out.
21:23ROK's out.
21:25There's a chair in the ring.
21:27Oh, and there's Mr. McMahon.
21:29What's going on here?
21:31What the hell is going on here?
21:43I think Hogan believes
21:45that McMahon shut the lights out.
21:47Mr. McMahon said you're exactly right.
21:49Exactly right.
21:51You just heard him.
21:53He said you're exactly right.
21:55Hey! Hey! The referee!
21:57This is The ROK with a steel chair!
21:59The ROK with a steel chair!
22:01Hogan's been distracted!
22:03Steel chair to the head of Hogan!
22:05What the hell is going on?
22:07This is a swerve
22:09into hell!
22:11Somebody tell me what the hell is going on?
22:13Hogan's been busted open.
22:15Mr. McMahon behind the lights.
22:17And the referee
22:19slid the damn chair
22:21to the ROK.
22:23What the?
22:25Oh.
22:27I have no idea
22:29what the hell's going on here,
22:31but it doesn't smell right.
22:33The referee's still right-handed,
22:35but for nothing.
22:37He just shoved the chair over.
22:39He's out.
22:41Mr. McMahon's smiling.
22:43ROK is stalking Hogan.
22:45Probably a ROK bottom.
22:47Hogan's deleted
22:49to his feet.
22:51Here's ROK. Look out!
22:53Here it is! ROK bottom!
22:56The referee!
22:58What a miraculous recovery!
23:00This is a damn screwjob!
23:02This is a damn screwjob!
23:04Here's
23:06ROK!
23:08Vince McMahon stuck
23:10into Hulk Hogan!
23:12McMahon stuck into Hogan!
23:14Look at that! This is a joke!
23:16Mr. McMahon had the damn lights
23:18turned out! The referee was never
23:20knocked out! He slid the damn chair
23:22to the ROK! The referee
23:24was in the pocket of
23:26Mr. McMahon!
23:28Holy God! This Sylvan
23:30Grenier from Montreal
23:32was in the pocket of McMahon!
23:34I don't believe
23:36this.
23:38ROK's smiling away.
23:40The referee is. Remember the hell
23:42his name was? Mr. McMahon's shaking
23:44his ass. Well, McMahon
23:46said he didn't want Hogan back in the WWE.
23:48He was upset with his daughter
23:50Stephanie for resigning Hogan
23:52while McMahon got his revenge
23:54here tonight! Remember Cole,
23:56a couple weeks back, Mr. McMahon
23:58said he created Hulkamania
24:00and Mr. McMahon
24:02said he will kill
24:04Hulkamania. And I think Mr. McMahon
24:06is right. Hulkamania may
24:08be a lifestyle goal, but McMahon
24:10is a lifebreaker.
24:12There may be no stronger force
24:14in the universe than Hulkamania
24:16except for one thing,
24:18Mr. McMahon.
24:20Look at the handshake!
24:22The ROK just shook hands with the devil!
24:24Mr. McMahon told ROK
24:26and the referee to go to the bathroom.
24:28ROK is leaving with the referee! And McMahon,
24:30what the hell is he doing now?
24:32Now what? Exactly.
24:34Oh, sure.
24:36So Hogan's down, bleeding.
24:40Hulk Hogan
24:42is helpless.
24:44Hogan can't even defend himself.
24:46He's using Mr. McMahon to pull himself
24:49up, hoping it's Mr. McMahon
24:51just high-facing
24:53him.
24:55What the hell? Oh, no.
24:57That's a Hulk Hogan
24:59shirt with the word
25:01nothing and then sucks written on the back.
25:03And now McMahon
25:05mocking Hulk Hogan.
25:09Brother sucks. That's what it says on the back.
25:13Mr. McMahon pulled
25:15the wool over everybody's eyes.
25:17Oh, baby!
25:19Oh! Right over here!
25:21And especially Hulk Hogan.
25:23You see the front. It says, what you gonna do?
25:25And it says nothing. And it says brother
25:27sucks on the back. And now the
25:29ultimate humiliation.
25:33The signature Hulk Hogan move
25:35in Mr. McMahon
25:37has just melted
25:39in the face of this legend.
25:43Oh, Mr. McMahon said he was gonna
25:45destroy Hulk Hogan.
25:47And I think Mr. McMahon
25:49just made good on his promise.
25:51First Mr. McMahon had the lights shut out.
25:53Then Mr. McMahon had the referee
25:55in his hip pocket. Then he shook
25:57hands with The Rock. And now
25:59this. The humiliation.
26:01Mr. McMahon has
26:03screwed Hulk Hogan.
26:05Mr. McMahon has had
26:07the last laugh tonight.
26:11Remember, Mr. McMahon
26:13said it. He's gonna kill Hulkamania.
26:21There may be no stronger force
26:23in the universe than Hulkamania.
26:25Except for one thing.
26:27Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
26:29Good night from Montreal.
