00:00to be able to broadcast a match like this.
00:03Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, the first meeting ever
00:07between two of the greatest to ever lace their boots.
00:10And ironically, this situation,
00:13it got together when both these men became tag team partners.
00:22I'm right here on my knees asking you for one favor,
00:28but I'm not asking you for anything more
00:31than what every other WWE fan has asked you for.
00:36Hulk Hogan! Hulk Hogan! Hulk Hogan!
00:40If I have to pick a tag team partner,
00:44I want that tag team partner to be Hulk Hogan!
00:52Just one more match.
00:58Oh, my gosh! There he is!
01:01Hulk Hogan has answered the bell for Shawn Michaels.
01:07The Hulkster and Shawn Michaels, a team!
01:12Well, the teamwork from Hogan and Shawn Michaels.
01:15Well, you gotta admit that Hogan and Shawn Michaels
01:17are a hell of a team.
01:19Whoa, here it is!
01:21Hogan got the tag!
01:22Oh!
01:23Hogan got the tag!
01:24Oh!
01:25A big move!
01:26Here it comes!
01:27Oh!
01:28It's over!
01:29It's over!
01:30Yeah!
01:31The Green King has done it!
01:34Two of the greatest in-ring performers
01:37to ever grace the squared circle,
01:40and they make you proud that you're in this business.
01:44Oh!
01:47Michaels just super kicked the hell out of Hogan!
01:56Hulk Hogan, you've been living off a reputation
02:02that you created 20 years ago.
02:06I go out there every single night and recreate myself.
02:13So, I am laying down the challenge.
02:19SummerSlam!
02:22The Immortal Hulk Hogan
02:26versus the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
02:32At SummerSlam, I'm gonna kick your teeth down your throat.
02:39You, my friend, have taken this thing
02:42to a whole nother level, dude.
02:45If you want to match with me,
02:48all you had to do was ask.
02:51But instead, you cheap-shotted me.
02:54Every time you come out in this ring,
02:57it's for Shawn Michaels.
02:59I'm here for each and every one of these Hulkamaniacs, brother.
03:04And if they want me at SummerSlam
03:07to kick your skinny ass,
03:10then I'm gonna kick your ass, Shawn Michaels.
03:14In this ring, you can't touch me.
03:19You are gonna find out
03:22that your immortality has a price.
03:27Hulk Hogan!
03:29What are you gonna do, Shawn Michaels?
03:31What you gonna do?
03:33When the power...
03:34The show stops.
03:35Of all these Hulkamaniacs...
03:37Hang on!
03:38It's over.
03:40Of all these Hulkamaniacs...
03:42Hang on!
03:43And Hulk Hogan...
03:44The main event!
03:46The icon!
03:47What you gonna do, brother, at SummerSlam?
03:50When the heart breaks, kid!
03:52Shawn Michaels!
03:53When Hulkamania...
03:54Won't let go!
03:55Destroys you!
04:10Hulk! Hulk! Hulk!
04:14Hulk Hogan! Hulk Hogan!
04:26I think I can
04:30I know I'm sexy
04:32I've got some looks
04:34I'm gonna drive you crazy
04:36Dude, wow, I've got some weed
04:38I'm just a sexy boy, I'm not your boy toy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm not your boy toy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy, I'm just a sexy boy
05:08From the San Antonio Tech Dennis, the heartbreaking Shawn Michael!
05:19Certainly a mixed reaction. There are a lot of hopel maniacs here tonight, but there are a lot of Shawn Mikels fans as well.
05:29Let's remember one things, this is Michaels summer slam, and he has never launched a one
05:36I don't think that Shawn Michaels is going to make that first loss here tonight.
05:43It's way too big of a stage.
05:45He loves it so much.
05:47And right here in DC, Hulkamania is going to come doing it.
05:51Well, Coach, I heard that Shawn Michaels told you before the event tonight
05:55that scientific proof was just in that the world really does revolve around Shawn Michaels.
06:00He really believes that.
06:01He believes he's the showstopper, the main eventer, the headline, the icon.
06:05He so believes in himself.
06:07I don't see how he can beat that.
06:09He has proven time and time again.
06:12He not only talks it, but, baby, he wants it every single time.
06:17He remains to be seen, quite frankly.
06:19But he is an awesome competitor.
06:21An amazing performer.
06:23And will he want to steal the show?
06:25You're damn right.
06:27Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk it! Hulk
06:57John Michael seems to be smiling, seems to be certainly no lack of confidence.
07:02Would that be like whistling through the graveyard?
07:04Hulk!
07:06Hulk!
07:08Hulk!
07:10Hulk!
07:12Hulk!
07:14Hulk!
07:16Hulk!
07:18Hulk!
07:20Hulk!
07:22Hulk!
07:24Hulk!
07:26Hulk!
07:28Hulk!
07:30Hulk!
07:32Hulk!
07:34Hulk!
07:36Hulk!
07:38Hulk!
07:40Hulk!
07:42Hulk!
07:44Hulk!
07:46Hulk!
07:48Hulk!
07:50Hulk!
07:52Hulk!
07:54Hulk!
07:56Hulk!
07:58Hulk!
08:00Hulk!
08:02Hulk!
08:04Hulk!
08:06Hulk!
08:08Hulk!
08:10Hulk!
08:12Hulk!
08:14Hulk!
08:16Hulk!
08:18Hulk!
08:20Hulk!
08:22Hulk!
08:24Hulk!
08:26Hulk!
08:28Hulk!
08:30Hulk!
08:32Hulk!
08:34Hulk!
08:36Hulk!
08:38Hulk!
08:40Hulk!
08:42Hulk!
08:44Hulk!
08:46Hulk!
08:48Hulk!
08:50It could end here tonight, and I can tell you that sitting at ringside, it's gonna be beautiful to watch John Michaels put his stamp on his legacy right here live at SummerSlam 2005.
09:03Well, you're right, Coach. Hulkamania could end tonight.
09:07But maybe he did again at one, because you see, Hulk Hogan looks at every match that way, that it could all end.
09:12That's why the Hulk puts everything on the line every time he steps in that ring.
09:17Puts everything on the line, puts his ego on the line, puts his youth, puts his legacy, which you know he thinks is bigger than it actually is.
09:25So, I think Hulk Hogan stands for everything that is bad about this business, not everything that is good.
09:32Well, that's your reverse opinion. I certainly don't agree with that, but see that as a name.
09:38John Michaels is already playing some HBK games with the Hulks.
09:46And nobody, and I repeat, nobody plays that game better than the Heartbreak Kid, John Michaels.
09:53One of these two men, two of the greatest of all time, will suffer their first SummerSlam loss in a one-on-one match here tonight.
10:03Hogan inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this past April.
10:10John Michaels says that Hulk is living on that reputation he created 20 years ago.
10:15And HBK says that he recreates himself every single night.
10:19Well, he's going to have to recreate himself big time here tonight to hang with the Hulk.
10:23John Michaels made this challenge. Remember he said, I've got to know. I've got to know.
10:28And tonight we're going to find out. John referring, of course, I've got to know if I can beat Hulk Hogan.
10:36The icon versus the legend.
10:38Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for.
10:40And you know, those two descriptions are really interchangeable.
10:45Because both men are both legends. And both men are really both icons.
10:49No, you know, without a doubt, JR, you said it just a few moments ago.
10:52Sometimes you get an opportunity to be in a special spot, a special place.
10:56And all kidding aside, this is special seeing these two men go one-on-one here tonight.
11:03Michaels, the faster, obviously, of the two, the longer the match goes.
11:07You've got to think that Michaels may have the advantage.
11:09He's carrying less body weight.
11:11The Hulk's around that 300-pound mark.
11:14Knows every trick in the book. So does Shawn Michaels.
11:17Michaels, he can dictate a quick pace.
11:20I predict Michaels can win this match.
11:23Well, he's talked for years about the resiliency, the stamina of Shawn Michaels.
11:28But we also know the heart of Hulk Hogan. Who will win out?
11:31Hogan, bigger, stronger.
11:33Locks up and frees it.
11:35At least on that exchange with Shawn Michaels.
11:38And that is not how Shawn Michaels wanted to start this match.
11:42Hulk saying, come on, get you some more of it.
11:45Brother.
11:49Michaels dancing away. Making the Hulk chase.
11:54He's going to be interested in seeing what the game plan is for Shawn Michaels
11:59with the decided size disadvantage.
12:03Hogan, bigger and stronger. Using that mass and strength advantage.
12:07Well, you know, it's maybe time to reinvent yourself or at least reinvent some strategy.
12:12What you're doing now is not working, HBK.
12:15We have the privilege of being here live.
12:17We thank you for inviting us into your homes.
12:19Over 150 countries around our great world will be watching this match.
12:25You know, you can talk about electricity and you say that word a lot.
12:29But tonight, right here, right now, it is absolutely electric inside the NCI Center.
12:35Michaels controlling now the side headlock.
12:37We are live in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.
12:40This event with 18,176 selling it out several weeks ago.
12:47And you got to believe that with all the great matches from SmackDown and from Raw
12:52that this was the feature attraction.
12:55The first ever meeting.
12:56Hogan reverses the headlock.
13:01Hogan again.
13:03And the shoulder block takes a frustrated Shawn Michaels out of the ring.
13:09And Hogan's bandana thrown right into the face of HBK.
13:15You know, guys, I got to be honest with you.
13:18He surprised me here earlier.
13:22But he looks focused.
13:23He's ready.
13:24And maybe he's taking this more seriously.
13:26Do you not believe that this is probably or maybe the biggest match in the career of Hulk Hogan?
13:32I believe that.
13:33But I didn't know if Hulk Hogan was taking it that seriously.
13:36Now I see that he's absolutely taking this serious.
13:39Very serious.
13:40First ever one-on-one meeting.
13:45Michaels now going downstairs.
13:46Buried the knee.
13:47And then Michaels hammering the hooks on the back.
13:50Michaels going downstairs.
13:54Michaels has got to quicken the pace here.
13:56And that's what he's starting to do now.
13:58Delivering more offense.
13:59Downstairs, upstairs.
14:00JR, would you agree that obviously the longer this match goes,
14:03it certainly would have to favor the Heartbreak Kid?
14:06Well, that's why I mentioned that earlier.
14:08Yeah, but I'll say it looks to me like the Heartbreak Kid is still tentative.
14:12He knows he's in there with the Immortal Hulk Hogan.
14:14I got the feel like HBK of his sight down a little bit.
14:18Look at this.
14:19Michaels coming up to drive.
14:21Hogan with a punt.
14:23And now with a punt, Michaels.
14:25Michaels being elevated.
14:27Oh!
14:28Landing.
14:29Straddling the top rope.
14:31And the veteran Hogan adding insult to injury.
14:35Right hand.
14:36Knocked down.
14:37Big slobber knock to the right hand by Hogan.
14:41And Hogan now measuring those rights.
14:45And Michaels gave the impact, the velocity, the power of Hogan.
14:50And down goes Michaels again.
14:53That's how long in a match.
14:54A thumb to the eye.
14:55A thumb to the eye.
14:56That's desperation.
14:57That's using your head.
15:00Michaels certainly changed the outlook, no pun intended for Hogan,
15:05with a thumb to the eye.
15:07Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
15:09Things are getting desperate for HBK.
15:13Michaels again with that right hand.
15:15He needs to wrestle Hogan to the mat.
15:19And Michaels again.
15:20It's a mano a mano.
15:22Two massive personalities here.
15:25I'll tell you something, JR.
15:26I don't think that you say Michaels needs to wrestle Hogan to the mat.
15:30I don't think that Michaels has the strength or the body weight
15:34to hold Hogan on the mat.
15:36I think Shawn is going to have to use some different tactics.
15:38Well, yeah.
15:39It almost seems to me that Shawn Michaels may have too much energy tonight.
15:42Michaels is a master of chopping bigger men down.
15:46We've seen Michaels beat some huge men in his day.
15:50Remember, Diesel was 7 feet.
15:52Vader, over 400 pounds.
15:54Michaels beat The Undertaker at one point in time.
15:58Let's talk about some of the big men that we've seen Hulk Hogan beat.
16:01Will anybody ever forget seeing Hulk Hogan
16:04slam Andre the Giant?
16:06Nobody in the world has ever done that.
16:08What about Big John Stunt?
16:10We could talk about that all night long.
16:13Shawn Michaels now regaining his faculties here.
16:16He's about three moves ahead of where you think he might be right now.
16:21You know, he's the master of psychology.
16:23You're absolutely right, JR.
16:24The master of psychology.
16:26And that's not exactly how Shawn had planned on re-entering the ring.
16:32I think that Shawn's psychology is a little off so far in this match tonight.
16:35Hogan going downstairs.
16:37Hogan can be very aggressive.
16:39Oh, big clothesline.
16:41Those that followed Hogan's career know that he can break rules as with anybody else
16:45if he is provoked or he's backed into that particular corner.
16:48Another right hand by Hogan.
16:50A straight right hand.
16:52At last I look, the right hand's not legal.
16:55Hogan steps a little early.
16:57Michaels takes advantage.
17:00If he gets a kick, Shawn Michaels is going to have to at some point,
17:02I think if he has any chance to get a victory here,
17:05he's going to have to hit that super kick.
17:07Yeah, and all it takes is just one kick.
17:09And as you know, we've seen it time and time again.
17:11It can happen in the blink of an eye.
17:13Well, I'll vouch for that.
17:14It happened to Hogan.
17:15It happened to me.
17:17And if he catches you with that when you aren't expecting it,
17:19or even if you are expecting it,
17:21I guarantee you're going to be down for more than a three count.
17:23Oh, it's over.
17:24I mean, he can shut the lights out.
17:25Summer slam's over.
17:27Michaels now taking Hogan to the other corner.
17:29Hogan's putting on the brakes.
17:30Uh-oh.
17:31Oh, no.
17:32Michaels has slapped Hogan in the face.
17:34They don't spit in Superman's face.
17:36I've never seen Hogan slapped in the face in his entire career.
17:39And Michaels did it again.
17:41Twice.
17:42This is all about a legacy, fellas.
17:44It's not about who Hulk Hogan is.
17:46It's who Shawn Michaels is making himself out to be.
17:48Michaels again punishing Hulk Hogan here with those knife-edge chops.
17:57I'm going to tell you something.
17:58The psychology is beginning to work.
18:00Whoa, whoa.
18:01That's how he did it.
18:02Might have spoke too soon.
18:03Michaels upside down.
18:04The Irish hit reversed by Hogan.
18:06Oh, and another slap.
18:08And Michaels, he is flirting with disaster.
18:10You've got to believe that that was a right hand, no slap.
18:13What a hell of a right.
18:15Well, we're starting to see the game plan by Shawn Michaels.
18:17I think it's just to make Hulk Hogan mad and get out of his game plan.
18:21There's got to be some sort of psychology because you know that
18:23Shawn Michaels knows he's not going to hurt Hulk Hogan by slapping him in the face.
18:26He's going to make him mad.
18:27And Hogan using the security wall as a tag team partner, as a weapon.
18:32You've got to believe that these great veterans will not make many mistakes.
18:38And right back.
18:41Michaels slammed on the Spanish announce table.
18:45And Hogan now right in Michaels' face with those huge hand-like right hands.
18:51I'm glad I don't speak Spanish.
18:54You're not good.
18:55You're never good for this.
18:56Hogan rolling back in the ring, breaking referee Mike Fioda's 10 count.
19:00The match will continue.
19:03Michaels trying to get out in that predicament.
19:05Turning the table over.
19:06Sit down, JR.
19:07You haven't shown yet.
19:08Oh!
19:09Oh, man.
19:10Michaels' sternum and his chin and sternum smacked the ring post.
19:16Hogan back in.
19:17The referee's 10 count stopped him.
19:20Hogan just back in momentarily.
19:22Right back out on HBK.
19:24Yeah, certainly this is not the type of match you would want to end in a count-out.
19:27That's something nobody wants.
19:33Michaels on Hogan's shoulder.
19:36And Hogan, what's he going to do with Michaels here?
19:39Oh, no!
19:40Hogan!
19:41Hogan running to the ring post.
19:44Michaels came out right off the back porch.
19:47And Hogan ran head first into the ring post.
19:51Hogan's temple or side of his face went right into that steel ring post.
19:56And here comes Shawn Michaels.
19:59That's a big difference maker in this match.
20:02Hogan now looks to be almost out on his feet.
20:05He wants to do it again.
20:06He does!
20:07Michaels again using the ring post as an ally.
20:13Michaels now from the left side using his left hand.
20:17We wonder what Shawn Michaels would have to do to get Hogan down.
20:21He's doing everything in his arsenal.
20:23But not knocking Hogan down yet.
20:26Let me tell you something, Shawn Michaels.
20:29It was all over Hogan.
20:31The referee is allowing this thing to continue.
20:33And I applaud him for that.
20:35Hogan and Michaels back in the ring.
20:37The Hulkster and the showstopper.
20:39First time ever.
20:40You're seeing it live here from Washington, D.C.
20:43This is SummerSlam.
20:45Shawn Michaels realizes he has the advantage.
20:47He has the upper hand right now.
20:49He had the upper hand.
20:50He's got to stay on the Hulkster.
20:52Michaels trying to bust Hogan open above the eye with those short right hands.
20:56Hogan forcing Michaels away.
20:59Look at that.
21:00Both shots right above the eye.
21:02And Hogan again.
21:04Watch.
21:05Shawn Michaels off.
21:06I'm going to tell you something.
21:07Shawn Michaels, he realizes now what he's got to do.
21:10He's got to stay on the Hulkster.
21:13You know how tough Shawn Michaels is.
21:15How many times can he keep coming back?
21:17Michaels is so resilient.
21:19He came back from a career-ending back injury after a four-year absence.
21:24And Michaels now with those right hands again and again.
21:27The referee having to wrestle Shawn Michaels off of Hulk Hogan.
21:30Well, the referee doesn't want this match to end by disqualification either.
21:33Who would?
21:34Uh-oh.
21:35You said it.
21:36He busted.
21:37Hogan busted open.
21:38Hogan has busted open.
21:39Michaels has busted open Hulk Hogan.
21:41With those right hands and the help of the ring post.
21:47Hogan a bad, bad way here.
21:49And as we said before, the longer the match went,
21:52the man with the less body weight would have the advantage.
21:55That's Shawn Michaels.
21:56And now his adversary, that's Hulk Hogan, is losing blood by the heartbeat.
22:01And right now Shawn Michaels is absolutely in the driver's seat.
22:06Michaels in control, no doubt about it.
22:09Would this be the biggest victory in Michaels' career?
22:13Look at that sight.
22:14That sight has brought almost a stunned hush over this crowd here.
22:18And what did I tell you guys?
22:19Hulkamania dies tonight, and it's going to die in a bloody mess.
22:25Hogan pulling himself up.
22:27He came back for one more match.
22:29Maybe one match too many.
22:32Another straight right hand.
22:33Michaels measures the Hulkster and knocks him down.
22:36Hogan in a bad way.
22:37In all of Hogan's career, I have never seen anyone dominate,
22:42physically dominate Hogan like Shawn Michaels is at this point in time.
22:47They are.
22:48How many times have we seen great heavyweight boxers have a great,
22:51illustrious career but then have one match too many?
22:55We may be witnessing that same thing here tonight.
22:59Yeah, none of these fans wanted to see Hulk Hogan's career in this way.
23:02But I for one, it just goes to show you that even Hulk Hogan
23:06can be titillating.
23:07Michaels with a sweep.
23:09Cutting off the floor blood to the brain.
23:12Hogan now getting weaker and weaker by the moment.
23:15Not completely cutting it off because the blood is flowing out of Hulk Hogan's
23:20head like a faucet.
23:21Look at Shawn Michaels' arm.
23:22My God.
23:23Michaels has, I mean, this laceration caused by Shawn Michaels on Hulk Hogan
23:29is absolutely frightening.
23:31And how many guys can say they ended Hulk Hogan's career with his blood
23:36literally on their hands?
23:38We saw one man stop earlier tonight because of blood loss.
23:41We're about looking at two.
23:43Referee Mike Gilda getting to position.
23:46He's looking at Hogan.
23:47Hogan trying to communicate with the Hulkster.
23:50Hogan saying something to the referee.
23:52And these fans are saying something to Hulk Hogan.
23:56They're trying to pull him back to his feet.
23:59But it's not going to be enough.
24:00Shawn Michaels has done everything he can and it is enough to defeat
24:04the immortal one.
24:05Hulk Hogan.
24:06The veteran Hulk Hogan.
24:07The younger Shawn Michaels.
24:09This could be over right here.
24:11If he arm drops one more time, this one is history.
24:14Forget about it.
24:15Wait a minute.
24:16That one finger.
24:17That one finger waving in the air saying no.
24:20It is not over.
24:21Hogan refusing to get beat in that manner.
24:27And Hogan now with a desperation suplex taking down Shawn Michaels.
24:32Well, Hogan dug down deep once.
24:34But I think that's all he has left in him is once.
24:38I'm going to tell you something.
24:39Shawn Michaels is a bloody mess and it's all Hulk Hogan's blood.
24:44I don't think Shawn Michaels' mind is having blood on him.
24:47That's not his own.
24:48Hogan trying to make his way to the ropes because I think he needs,
24:51he knows he needs the ropes to help him get back to a vertical base.
24:55I don't know if Hulk can even see the ropes with all that blood in his eyes.
24:59Michaels sending Hogan.
25:00Hogan counters.
25:01Reverses.
25:02And Michaels flying forearms by the young man.
25:06There you go.
25:07There you go.
25:08Call it, JR.
25:09The young man from San Antonio.
25:11He's a young man to me.
25:12I saw his first match back in the 80s.
25:16And Shawn Michaels able to nip off the lid with a blow.
25:20And now Michaels, he's the showstopper here, folks.
25:26He sends his victory.
25:27Which is certainly not good for the immortal Hulk Hogan.
25:30He may-
25:31It's nothing to say.
25:32He may be mortal after all, but look at this.
25:35Look at the Hulkster.
25:36Michaels missed the outload from the top.
25:41Hogan now with an amazing rush of adrenaline.
25:47Oh, my God.
25:48Hogan went for the big boots, but Shawn Michaels came flying up
25:51into the Hulk and to the referee.
25:54The referee knocked completely out of the ring.
26:00Michaels and Hogan both down.
26:02Referee's lying here on the outside and certainly looks to like
26:06demean his attention, medical attention I'm talking about.
26:10Oh, my.
26:11Are you kidding me?
26:13That's why he's the showstopper.
26:15That's why he's the main eventer.
26:17That's why Shawn Michaels has proven that his legacy will carry on
26:21unlike Hulkamania forever.
26:23Both these legacies are going to carry on forever.
26:26What both these men are looking for is a victory over the other.
26:29That's what this is all about.
26:31Something you'll talk about the rest of your life.
26:34I love it.
26:40I love it.
26:41Oh, my.
26:42Come on.
26:43Come on.
26:44It's the sharpshooter.
26:47We saw it Monday night in Montreal.
26:51The sharpshooter applied by Shawn Michaels on Hulk Hogan,
26:56but there is no referee.
26:59Referee, Jeff Patton's in.
27:01He's making this a habit.
27:04Jeff Patton needs to go back and bring him along.
27:07Will Hogan tap out?
27:09Will Hogan tap out to the sharpshooter, to Shawn Michaels,
27:13here at SummerSlam?
27:18August 21st, 2005,
27:21neither night that Hogan taps out.
27:23Hogan was just trying to get close enough to that rope to save himself,
27:27but Shawn Michaels pulls him back.
27:29Michaels pulling Hogan back to the center of the ring.
27:31I'm afraid that Hulk Hogan is going to have to face reality.
27:37He just tapped.
27:38Is that it?
27:39No, I think he's trying to pull himself.
27:40No, no, no.
27:41Hulk Hogan, he tapped again.
27:42No, he's trying to pull himself.
27:43He just tapped twice.
27:45Referee's right there to make a call.
27:47Hogan trying to crawl with everything he has,
27:50and everything, maybe more importantly,
27:52Hogan has left.
27:55He's inches away.
27:57He's got the ropes.
27:58Hogan in the ropes.
28:00Referee's going to call for the break.
28:02This match should be over.
28:03Hulk Hogan just tapped twice.
28:05The Hulkamaniacs are happy,
28:07but Shawn Michaels' fans are not.
28:11Shawn Michaels certainly is not happy.
28:13Now Shawn Michaels has got to be wondering,
28:15is this man really a mortal?
28:16Look out.
28:17Oh, my God.
28:19Michaels got kicked off of Hogan,
28:21and I think Michaels' head, the back of his head,
28:23smacked the face of the second referee.
28:27We got two wrestlers down, two referees down.
28:31Do we even have any more referees available at this point?
28:36Hogan trying to pull his way up.
28:38Hogan has lost a lot of blood.
28:41The Hulkster trying to regroup one more time,
28:45but can he?
28:46What a bad leg now.
28:49Bad leg.
28:50He's got a bad hip.
28:53Hogan's had a hip replaced.
28:55He has paid the price in his career.
28:57No doubt.
28:58And a low blow.
29:00Low blow.
29:02No description needed.
29:04A low blow with both referees down,
29:07and the match will continue.
29:09Well, apparently right now, that's legal.
29:11Well, that shows that HBK will do absolutely anything
29:14to stop Hulk Hogan's show here tonight.
29:16I couldn't agree more.
29:18Shawn Michaels is stealing the show,
29:20just like he always does.
29:21Michaels with a steel chair, this weapon now.
29:24Both referees are down.
29:25Michaels with a steel chair in hand,
29:28going to ensure that he does not leave here
29:31without his hand being raised tonight.
29:33Michaels looking to take Hogan's head off.
29:35He is measuring the Hulkster,
29:37and when Hulk gets up and turns around,
29:39no matter what it takes,
29:41that's what Shawn Michaels is willing to do.
29:43Listen to this impact.
29:45Go ahead.
29:46Let's just hear it.
29:47Go ahead.
29:48Oh, my God.
29:49A smack of a steel chair across the Hulkster's training.
29:54The bloody batter, Hulk Hogan, has been knocked down,
29:58perhaps for the final time in this match,
30:01perhaps his career by Shawn Michaels.
30:04What a way for it to end.
30:06And Michaels, boom!
30:08Coming out of hot water, went for the elbow off the top
30:11for the second time,
30:12and the second time takes Michaels to the promised land.
30:16Well, it looks like Shawn Michaels is going to win this,
30:18but can he be proud?
30:20Well, he's used a steel chair.
30:22You're damn right he can be proud of it.
30:24He's got the low blow, and now...
30:27Michaels trying to revive the referee.
30:29Let's tune up the band.
30:32The fat lady may be fixing the bell.
30:36The sign of greatness is doing what you say you are going to do,
30:40and that's exactly what Shawn Michaels has done tonight.
30:43Michaels knocked out Hogan once with sweet tin music.
30:47If he does it here again, he'll remember forever.
30:50This is the American way, the aggression, the challenge,
30:53the challenging yourself to get it done.
30:56He got it! He got it!
30:58It's over! It's over! It's over!
31:00He got it!
31:01He got Hogan with the sweet tin music!
31:04Every county!
31:05Forget about it!
31:07Oh! Oh, my God!
31:09For the love of God, Hogan powered out!
31:12Look at Shawn Michaels! He cannot believe it!
31:14I can't believe it!
31:15How in the hell did that happen?
31:17Nobody kicks out of sweet tin music!
31:20Nobody but the Hulkster!
31:22The immortal Hulkster!
31:24Look at him!
31:25Do you feel it? Do you feel it, JR?
31:27Hogan hooking up here!
31:28Coach, I think even you can feel this!
31:30I hate to admit it, but I kind of can!
31:33These 18,000-plus fans can feel it!
31:35Oh, my God!
31:36Michaels has thrown everything at Hogan that he can think of!
31:40But to no avail!
31:41Hogan with the right hand!
31:43Michaels hits with the right!
31:45Oh!
31:46My God, the big boot!
31:48The impact of a mat drop in Michaels' head!
31:52Get up, Shawn! Get up!
31:54You've done everything you needed to do!
31:57Yes! Yes!
31:59You want it, and so do they!
32:01You better give it to him, Hogan!
32:03Before Michaels recovers!
32:07Hogan!
32:08Kenny!
32:09There it is!
32:10He did it!
32:11A leg drop!
32:12A leg drop!
32:13A hook of the leg!
32:14Hogan wins!
32:16Hogan wins!
32:18Hulkamania lives!
32:20The human!
32:22The immortal!
32:24Hulks for heaven!
32:27The immortal!
32:28Hulk Hogan and I believe it!
32:29What about you, coach?
32:31I hate to admit it, but these two men gave it everything they had
32:36on one of the biggest stages that you could ever perform on.
32:39Hulk Hogan took Shawn Michaels' best shot time after time after time.
32:44But, guys, I'll give it to Hulk Hogan.
32:46When you win, you win.
32:47And tonight, he got one of the biggest wins of his career.
32:50My brother's seeing and believing, and we all saw it.
32:53An amazing effort by Shawn Michaels.
32:55He threw everything in his body at the Hulkster tonight.
32:59But tonight was Hogan's night.
33:02This night at SummerSlam, between the first meeting of Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels,
33:08a match we'll never forget.
33:10But this was the Hulkster's night.
33:12No doubt about it, Hulkamania lives!
33:17It's alive and well here tonight at SummerSlam.
33:21What an amazing effort by Hulk Hogan.
33:24I hope this is not the last time we've seen Hogan in the ring one-on-one.
33:30Oh, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
33:33Oh, this is getting bad here.
33:34Look out, look out!
33:37That was awesome, man.
33:40I think he's done. I think Shawn Michaels wants more.
33:42Well, I think Hulk Hogan would be glad to give it to him right now.
33:45We need to... Where's the referee?
33:47Michael, we've got more pride than anybody I know, and this hurts.
33:50It hurts to lose to Hogan at SummerSlam.
34:01He just said, I needed to know, and I found out.
34:07That's being a man right there.
34:11That's being a man.
34:21Hulk Hogan!
34:27Hogan accepting the handshake.
34:29There's a lot of class in that ring right now, man.
34:32I'm telling you.
34:34I don't know if there'll ever be another Hulk Hogan.
34:37I damn sure don't think there'll ever be another Shawn Michaels.
34:40And that was an act of class.
34:42Michaels said, I had to know. I had to know.
34:45And tonight, I found out.
34:47Well, when this day started, I would have never dreamed in a billion years
34:51that it would end with us seeing the immortal Hulk Hogan
34:55and the iPod Shawn Michaels shake hands.
34:58I would have been in my house.
35:00Well, that's what this apparently was all about.
35:03It was all about taking on somebody you had never taken on before.
35:07With a name that's bigger than life.
35:09That's all Shawn Michaels wanted to do.
35:12Shawn Michaels got the opportunity tonight, and you saw him right there, guys.
35:16That's greatness respecting greatness.
35:19Well, Hulk Hogan gave us one more match, and it turned out to be his best.
35:23And you think he'll give us one more?
35:25I hope so.
35:26We know Shawn Michaels will.
35:28A special night.
35:29A night that Hulkamaniacs around the world will never forget.
35:34It was the night that Hulk Hogan defeated the awesome, the incredible Shawn Michaels
35:41in a one-on-one match.
35:43Their first ever.
35:47Well, he said it for us.
35:52He told us that every time he comes into the ring, he does it for these fans.
35:57And you're seeing a man right now that probably needs stitches,
36:00probably needs medical attention, but instead he's out here for the fans.
36:03Ladies and gentlemen, let's enjoy this moment in our nation's capital,
36:07the epitome of Americana.
36:10A man that's transcended generation after generation.
36:16Fans, from now on, we'll be talking about Hulk Hogan in one form or another.
36:33I got to admit it, guys.
36:34Somehow, this man, Hulk Hogan, has still got it.
36:41An amazing effort by the veteran Hulk Hogan.
36:45Ladies and gentlemen, that's been an amazing SummerSlam
36:49for all the broadcasters of SmackDown,
36:51the great athletes of SmackDown and Raw,
36:54for Jerry the King Lawler and the Coach,
36:56I'm Jim Ross saying goodnight, everybody.
