Transcript
00:00Ladies and gentlemen, a year ago, we would have thought this match would have never occurred.

00:13WrestleMania XV, The Rock vs. Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
00:173-1 heartbeat.
00:21You know guys, it feels great to be back in this ring, in the WWF.
00:26I mean, the WWF made Hulk Hogan a legend.
00:30But you know something? Something happened.
00:32And then you people turned on me.
00:35The WWF fans drove me out of the WWF.
00:38I'm the reason all you people are here.
00:41I'm the one that put the WWF on the map.
00:44I'm the one that made wrestling as big as it is today.
00:48There's nobody in this business that's a bigger icon than I am.
00:52I'm the biggest star, past or present, in the wrestling world today.
00:57And there'll never, ever be a bigger star than Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
01:03Hulk Hogan and The Rock in the same ring.
01:07Who would have thought they would ever see?
01:10Hogan and The Rock.
01:13It was not the people that drove you out of the WWF.
01:16They loved you.
01:18They believed in you.
01:21And damn it, The Rock believed in you.
01:25You are a legend.
01:27You are, without a shadow of a doubt, an icon.
01:31Quite possibly the best ever.
01:33And seeing as you are back in the WWF,
01:37you talked about headlining, main eventing,
01:40WrestleMania after WrestleMania after WrestleMania.
01:43Well, Hulk Hogan, The Rock says,

02:24as The Rock bows down to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
02:28You're pitiful, Rock.
02:30After I beat you, Rock, you're gonna realize that you're ordinary.
02:34You're common.
02:36All these millions and millions of fans who were my fans first
02:41are gonna see me kick your candy ass at 100% at WrestleMania.
02:47See, Hogan, you can beat The Rock in a tag.
02:50You can take a hammer to the back of The Rock's head.
02:52You can try to end my career.
02:54But the fact remains is there is no way
02:56that he's not gonna walk into WrestleMania,
02:58the biggest match ever.
03:00Whip your candy ass.
03:01One, two, three.
03:05A match for the ages.
03:07The Rock and Hogan at WrestleMania.
03:10One on one.
03:12A match that the world thought would never ever happen.
03:15Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
03:17He will make his 10th appearance at WrestleMania.
03:20His first in nine years.
03:22And the challenge for Hulk Hogan
03:24is the future of the World Wrestling Federation, The Rock.
03:28Wrestling's past.
03:30Wrestling's future.
03:31This is WrestleMania, baby.
03:45WrestleMania!
03:46WrestleMania!
03:48WrestleMania!
03:49WrestleMania!
03:52Manchester United!
03:55Manchester United!
04:00Manchester United!
04:03The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
04:08representing the NWO,
04:13weighing 280 pounds,
04:18Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
04:22Now ladies and gentlemen, you can love him or you can hate him.
04:27And there's a lot of fans here in SkyDome that love this legendary figure.
04:34Hollywood Hulk Hogan returning to Toronto,
04:39returning to SkyDome as perhaps the greatest icon
04:44in the history of sports entertainment,
04:49preparing to meet perhaps the future of this industry.
04:56This is so special JR, this is so unique.
05:02I mean, this truly is a dream match.
05:06We talk in the world of sports about what would happen
05:12if Mike Tyson had the opportunity to fight Muhammad Ali or
05:18Babe Ruth went up against Barry Bonds.
05:24But we're gonna actually get to witness it here tonight.
05:26We're gonna get to see it.
05:28The Rock and the Immortal Hulk Hogan.
05:32In its history, WrestleMania,
05:36over 500,000 fans have seen WrestleMania in the last 17 years.
05:43And since its inception, this man has headlined nine of those events.
05:50Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan,
05:55Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan.
05:59Whether it's nostalgia, follow what you will, respect,
06:03there's a lot of Hollywood Hulk Hogan fans here in SkyDome tonight.
06:09And this man right here, the Rock, is coming.
06:24From Miami, Florida, weighing 2.74 pounds, Hulk Hogan.
06:33The People's Champion, The Rock,
06:38whose career was thankfully salvaged,
06:43no thanks to the MWO, for this chaotic,
06:48as controversial as that moment was, King.
06:55And we're seemingly past that now to where our
07:01world record is.
07:05But this is about two, and the word icon is used a lot.
07:10Hey there, you've seen it on the Discovery Channel.
07:14I mean, it's like in the jungle, survival of the fittest.
07:18The old lion, the leader of the pride, and
07:22then along will come a young lion who wants to take his place.
07:26And sometimes that young lion is able to take his place, but
07:30sometimes that old lion fights off that challenge of that young lion and
07:34remains the leader of the pride.
07:36What's gonna happen here tonight?
07:38That's a great question.
07:40We're about to find out.
07:41Only one way to find out is we are live in Toronto at SkyDome.
07:47Many of the crowd chanting for The Rock.
07:50Quite frankly, many in the crowd chanting for Hogan.
07:55A mixed reaction here at WrestleMania.
08:06I can tell you, talking to The Rock earlier today,
08:09he was a big Hulkamaniac as a young man.
08:15Look at this.
08:18And look at the flash balls.
08:20This is a WrestleMania moment.
08:25Look at those eyes.
08:26On March 17, 2002, you can circle that date on your calendar.
08:33Because I can tell you, it's gonna be a day that I'm never gonna forget.
08:39Quite frankly, a match I thought I would never, ever see.
08:46We'll never see Tyson and Ali.
08:48We'll never see Babe Ruth and Barry Bynes.
08:50But we are gonna get to witness The Rock and The Hulk.
08:54Only at WrestleMania.
08:56And only in the WWF, baby.
09:00Here we go.
09:03History in the making now.
09:04As Hogan and Rock locking up.
09:06Call it elbow tie up.
09:07As The Rock trying to force Hogan back into the corner.
09:12This place is crowded.
09:13It's electric.
09:14Hogan is a great veteran as far as his accomplishments are concerned.
09:20The power of Hogan.
09:21And I'll tell you what, King.
09:22Look at the power.
09:23The power of those white knives.
09:26On any one night, even a veteran, at the stage of his career that Hogan is, can pull it out.
09:34But, and Hogan is staying around.
09:37You just bring him down.
09:45Side headlock by Hogan.
09:47And it's gonna be very interesting to see how the strategies of both men begin to unfold
09:53as this match progresses.
09:55I talked to The Rock earlier today.
09:57I said, Rock, what you gonna do with those 20 points?
09:59My thoughts weren't wild on you.
10:01The Rock said, I don't venture my arms, King.
10:04I just lay the smack down with them.
10:06So we're gonna see if that's gonna happen.
10:09Rock finding his way on the side headlock.
10:11A knockdown and a hard tackle by Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
10:14Look at this.
10:17I mean, I would love to know what is going through The Rock's mind right now.
10:24And Hogan tells Rock again, bringing in Rock's sixes or knobs his head.
10:29You got it.
10:35Certainly a mixed reaction here.
10:38I'm sure much will be spoke of and written about that.
10:42Do you think The Rock expected a mixed reaction?
10:46I think The Rock did.
10:47I didn't know what to expect, but look at this.
10:49I had not conversed with Hogan, but I did talk to Rock earlier today.
10:54He had no problem with that whatsoever.
10:57Rock is a man of the people.
10:59Well, like you said, I mean, there wasn't one time-
11:01You ain't nothing to me, Paul.
11:03You ain't nothing to me, Paul.
11:07Hogan talking some trash to the People's Champion.
11:11Hogan talking some trash to the People's Champion.
11:15And another hard knockdown.
11:17Nothing fancy about the attack of Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
11:20yet it has been thus far very effective.
11:23I want to tell you something that I'm shocked at, JR,
11:25that so far this has been all Hogan.
11:28All Hogan.
11:30Uh-oh.
11:32Look out!
11:34Fantastic.
11:35You got to wonder if The Rock has been psyched out.
11:39And now Rock is challenging Hogan to bring it.
11:47Rock standing tall, standing proud.
11:50What's Hogan thinking?
11:51This is great, JR!
11:54Oh, man!
11:57Just bring it.
11:58Don't worry, he will, Rock.
12:01I think each man trying to outsmart the other in a game of mental chess.
12:05One-upmanship at its best right here.
12:09One, two, three!
12:12Now that's caught now.
12:14Scoring those right hands.
12:16And a big punch.
12:19Hogan almost up to the top rope.
12:22Hogan now creating some distance here
12:26with the opportunity to regroup somewhat.
12:30That's right.
12:31Let's face it.
12:32Hogan is a wily veteran.
12:35Bulls rush in, JR.
12:38Watch out!
12:40They're off the clubbing wall to Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
12:44And forcing the veteran back into the ring.
12:48And Hogan seems very addled here.
12:52The Rock has laid some smackdowns.
12:57Reversal, JR.
12:59Hogan reverses the Irish whip.
13:02And broke the hard clothesline.
13:04Taking down the Hollywood Hogan.
13:07And the Rock now poised and uncoiled.
13:09He's ready to uncoil, I should say.
13:12And there he...
13:13Rock!
13:14Look at the Rock bottom!
13:15Look at the block!
13:16Blocked by Hulk.
13:17Rock was looking for the Rock bottom.
13:19It was...
13:21It was blocked very expertly by the veteran, Hogan.
13:25Yeah, you call him a veteran for a good reason.
13:27I'm not so sure that Hulk wasn't playing possum earlier.
13:29Look at that elbow!
13:31Oh man, that rocks the Rock!
13:33Hogan, the pointy elbow driven right into the head of the Rock.
13:36And a hard elbow driven into the...
13:38The heart of that Roman bull.
13:40Look at that Hulk!
13:43Hogan, that flat foot right to the face of the Rock.
13:48Hogan started this match dominant.
13:53Has rebounded and regained the offensive dominance.
13:57At this point in time.
14:01We're gonna talk about a point in time, JR.
14:03Years from now.
14:05The people are gonna be saying and talking about this match saying,
14:08I was there, I witnessed the Rock and Hulk Hogan.
14:15Hogan has had great success at WrestleMania,
14:18except the last time WrestleMania was here at SkyDome
14:22when Hogan lost the WWF title to the Ultimate Warrior.
14:27There's nearly 70,000 people here live tonight.
14:30The Rock taking down Hogan.
14:31And Rock manning Hollywood Hogan.
14:34Hammering him with a right hand.
14:36Look at this crowd, JR.
14:42Oh man!
14:43And Hogan with a suplex on the Rock.
14:49Certainly a nostalgic feel here for Hogan.
14:52Looking for the cover here.
14:54Let's face it, JR.
14:55You gotta show them in respect.
14:58He said, I gotta agree with you.
14:59The WWF is the house that Hollywood built.
15:03I am a fan of Hogan's accomplishments.
15:06I am not a fan of his association with a pack of dogs known as the NWO.
15:11As Hogan has the abdominal strength on the Rock.
15:15If you walk into this ring at 67,000 feet,
15:18you can thank that man right there.
15:24Certainly he has contributed to the success of this event
15:27as far as that is concerned.
15:29But he's not here alone.
15:30And there's a cradle.
15:31Hogan now rolling up the rope.
15:33Got a near fall there.
15:34I'm not talking about this particular event, JR.
15:36I'm talking about wrestling.
15:37Well, I agree with that.
15:40That I can't disagree with.
15:42But in the last few years since he's come on the scene,
15:44a lot of critics also have got to be going to the Rock
15:48for where sports entertainment has gone,
15:50as Hogan rakes the back of the People's Champion.
15:54I agree 100%.
15:55There ain't no better Rock man than me.
15:57He's great.
15:59Nobody like him.
16:01He is the People's Champion.
16:02That's why this is such a dream match.
16:05Great right hand by the legend, Hogan,
16:08with a right hand on a young legend, The Rock.
16:10And The Rock now, arms down at his side.
16:18Hogan on that second rope.
16:20Counting him down.
16:22And now Hogan is biting The Rock.
16:26Hogan.
16:28I don't know if he needed to do that or not.
16:30Hogan biting The Rock.
16:31And The Rock now turning the table on Hogan.
16:38And another hard shot by The Rock.
16:42And, you know, you can't but,
16:44for the sake of this crowd right now,
16:46it's suddenly in Hollywood Hogan's favor.
16:49At least, many of the more vocal ones are.
16:52And Hogan powered down The Rock again.
16:55Hogan now, Hogan choking.
16:59Hogan choking The Rock.
17:01Remembering when Kiyota called it for a break.
17:03Hogan in danger there of getting disqualified.
17:07Remember, you're right.
17:08This crowd is solidly behind Hogan.
17:10But we're in Toronto.
17:11And this has been the scene of many huge victories for Hogan.
17:16Except the last time he was here at WrestleMania.
17:19Can he break that-
17:20Real good throws.
17:21Diagonal jinx here tonight.
17:28Listen to this.
17:29This is, this is amazing.
17:33Oh.
17:34Hogan clocked The Rock's hand.
17:36Plops Hogan.
17:37Scores again.
17:38The Rock in those round hands here.
17:42Oh, look out, Hulk.
17:43Look out!
17:44The Rock elevated right over the top rope.
17:50Well, Hulk's been all over the world.
17:52He's been to many places.
17:53But he's never been checked into the SmackDown Hotel.
17:56Which, by the way, is at the corner of New York Boulevard,
17:58Geronimo Drive.
18:00Try not to point that at all cops.
18:02Hogan stomping away at The Rock on the outside of the ring.
18:06And now calling The Rock's hand in those ring steps.
18:09He rocks high.
18:10Getting a little glazed over.
18:13And, uh, look at this Hollywood Hogan
18:16throwing The Rock on the security rail.
18:25What the hell is this?
18:26Wait a minute, that's our-
18:27I told you to get it back in the ring.
18:28You better listen up, Hogan.
18:30Oh, boy.
18:31That's our monitors.
18:32They're our monitors.
18:33Wait a minute.
18:37Hogan trying to use that monitor to take it.
18:40And The Rock now countering on Hogan.
18:45And The Rock pumping a smack to The Rock.
18:51Oh, that's a chair.
18:52The Rock, wait a second.
18:53Wait a minute, The Rock.
18:54Look out.
18:56I've got it on that chair.
18:57Hogan capitalized.
18:59The Rock knocking The Rock back into the clothesline.
19:01Right on the floor.
19:02The Rock is down hard.
19:03Get it back up there.
19:07The Rock knocked down with that clothesline.
19:11And now Hogan going-
19:14He goes chanting back into the ring.
19:20I don't know, JR, if this is nostalgia or what,
19:22but it's amazing that this crowd is so solidly behind Hogan.
19:27Now, Hogan sidestepped The Rock and sent Rock sailing.
19:30Unfortunately for the referee,
19:32right into the man in the striped shirt,
19:34and The Zebra is down.
19:37The Rock is being pulled to his knees by Hogan.
19:41Great right hand by Hollywood Hogan.
19:44Look at this.
19:45Oh.
19:48Oh, he got framed there.
19:50The Rock with a spine on the spine.
19:54You've got to remember, we are in Toronto,
19:56and there's no category to taste in Toronto right there.
19:59No, you said that-
20:00Oh, I was kidding. Okay.
20:05Hogan making his way back up.
20:08We had a feeling coming in here
20:09this was going to be a very mixed crowd,
20:11and it certainly is.
20:13I just don't think that The Rock's-
20:14Oh, wait a second.
20:17Wow.
20:18But with a sharpshooter.
20:19He's got it locked in.
20:20He's so dead.
20:21Unfortunately, this one is-
20:23This one could be over immediately.
20:26No referee.
20:27Hogan trying to tell him out.
20:30Well, Hogan's not tapping.
20:31He sure isn't right now.
20:33He's not.
20:34Hogan trying to make his way to the ropes.
20:37The Rock holding on to the sharpshooter.
20:39He's there. He's there.
20:40Hogan's in the ropes with us.
20:41The referee is down.
20:42Break the hold.
20:43And Rock bringing Hogan back to the center of the ring.
20:46Hogan is tapping.
20:47Well, that hold should have been broken.
20:48Hogan is tapping,
20:49but the referee is still down and out.
20:55Hogan was tapping vehemently.
20:57Yeah, but you gotta admit,
20:58Hogan made it to the ropes, JR.
21:00Yeah.
21:01Wow.
21:02The Rock trying to revive in a very aggressive way
21:05Referee Mike Chioda.
21:11And there, as you can hear it,
21:14all these fans, I tell you-
21:15Whoa!
21:17Another low blow by Hogan.
21:21And, wait a minute!
21:22Hogan!
21:23Hogan with the Rock Bottom!
21:24Unbelievable!
21:25Hogan with the Rock Bottom!
21:27Don't tell me Hogan's gonna beat the Rock with the Rock Bottom!
21:31There's a count!
21:32No!
21:33No!
21:34The Brahma Burrow Tick Tock!
21:36Another shoulder wrap at the last moment!
21:39The Rock wants to know, what was that?
21:42Wait a minute.
21:43Hogan taking off that.
21:45That weightlifter's belt.
21:47It may be a revelation.
21:48Smackdown on his own, he is!
21:49He's got a heavy belt.
21:51And now Hogan whipping the Rock like a government mule here.
22:00Taking the high right off the Rock's back
22:03with that weightlifting belt, that heavy belt.
22:08Hogan could not beat the Rock with the Rock's own maneuver.
22:11And DDT!
22:13The Rock scored with a DDT.
22:16And the Hogan fans here, not pleased with that offensive move.
22:20I don't know if the Rock knows what to think.
22:22I don't think he ever suspected this.
22:27I don't think he suspected these fans or the Hulk to be this resilient.
22:32Wait a minute!
22:33The fans are not gonna like this, I'll tell you.
22:35That's what the Rock's doing!
22:37Hogan used it first!
22:38Hogan, he used that leather belt first!
22:42And Rock is only retaliating here, like it or not.
22:46That's your fault, fans.
22:47Look at this!
22:50He won't retaliate now, look at him go!
22:53And Rock got it.
22:54He let Hogan know how that feels.
22:57Now Rock now, he is poised, he is coiled.
23:01There's the Rock Bottom!
23:03The Rock Bottom on Hogan!
23:05The hook of the leg!
23:07Is this-
23:08Hogan kicked out!
23:09Rock got Hogan kicked out!
23:11Look at this!
23:12Rock Bottom, not in a fit with the Rock!
23:14Wait a minute!
23:15Is he gonna hook him down?
23:17He is!
23:19Rock cannot believe it!
23:23Oh my God!
23:24What you gonna do, Rock?
23:26My God, the Rock can't believe it!
23:28What you gonna do?
23:30And Hulk scores the Rock!
23:32One, two, three!
23:35Hogan's in the Rock for the Rock Bottom!
23:37The end could be near for the Rock at WrestleMania 18!
23:42He did it!
23:44He did Andre the Giant with that move!
23:46The leg is hooked!
23:48Oh my God!
23:49My God, the Rock kicked out!
23:51Rock!
23:52And Hogan looks like the Rock earlier!
23:55Cannot believe it!
23:57He can't believe it, neither can his fans!
24:03And the fans on their feet!
24:05Here at SkyDome!
24:07Straight right hand by Hogan!
24:09The Rock!
24:10Spaghetti leg!
24:12Another one!
24:13Hogan got a shot!
24:15How much of that kick did he give in?
24:17Not again!
24:18On the Rock on board of contact!
24:20Hogan looking for that leg drop a second time!
24:23And the Rock up!
24:25Hands on his thighs!
24:27We've seen this before!
24:29No!
24:32Man, that was a thunderous Rock Bottom!
24:35What a drama, Paul!
24:37Yeah, but don't worry!
24:38Hogan kicked out of that last Rock Bottom!
24:41Can he do it again?
24:43Can he do it again?
24:44Wait!
24:45There's no cover!
24:46Rock not going for the cover here!
24:49What's up with that team?
24:52Rock wanted to...
24:53He wanted to put an exclamation point on it!
24:55Man, there it is!
24:56That's the third Rock Bottom of this match!
25:01Whoa!
25:02The Rock nipping up!
25:03And wait a minute!
25:06The Rock has reached down!
25:08Here it counts!
25:09With a total of three Rock Bottoms!
25:11He knocked the leg from behind!
25:13It's 1-0!
25:14People say, whoa!
25:15On the court!
25:16Hogan!
25:17Rock, what if he wants to help out?
25:19Hogan!
25:20Ah!
25:21Clinch it!
25:26My God, sir!
25:27Man, that was...
25:28That was a match for the ages!
25:34What an emotional ride!
25:37What an epic match!
25:40Man, that was a unique dichotomy of fan support back and forth!
25:48But now Rock, with all those Rock Bottoms in the people's elbow,
25:52finally prevailing over the veteran lion,
25:57dumped in by the younger lion.
26:00I think what you're seeing now, look at these fans they are!
26:03They're on their feet!
26:04They're clapping!
26:06I think they're clapping for both of these superstars!
26:09As well they should!
26:12What a match!
26:13What a match!
26:16Wow!
26:17The Rock, victorious at WrestleMania,
26:22and the SkyDome Jinx continues to haunt
26:26Hollywood Hogan.
26:27The Vi-Gun, quite frankly,
26:29he's got absolutely nothing to be ashamed of here.
26:37I'll tell you what, folks,
26:38we've seen a lot of Super Bowls,
26:40but the game doesn't live up to the hype.
26:43In my opinion, this match lived up to the hype.
26:46It did live up to it.
26:47It far surpassed it.
26:50It was great!
26:57On this night, at this magnificent event,
27:02the young lion, the Rock,
27:05has pulled him out over the veteran rock.
27:09Look at this, JR.
27:10Look at this face-off.
27:11Look at this square-off again.
27:13Hulk Hogan's on his feet.
27:15He's still staring into the eyes of the Rock.
27:18Like he were not Hogan, he's a proud man.
27:22Are they gonna go again?
27:25Look at this!
27:27Hogan extending his hand.
27:30I don't know why.
27:33I don't know if you can trust me, Mike,
27:35to say that from what we've seen,
27:37but it's just a fact.
27:40I'll be damned, King.
27:41King, I'll be damned.
27:43I'll be damned, King.
27:45I'll be damned.
27:49What the hell is going on?
27:52When was the last time you saw a class act like that, JR?
27:56I don't remember that.
27:59A handshake, and that's something you rarely see.
28:05And a handshake that won't be remembered
28:10for many, many years to come.
28:15And Hogan quite honestly giving the Rock his props.
28:21Hogan had to know.
28:23He had to know that they could do it one-on-one.
28:27A great effort.
28:29Like the son of a gun or not.
28:32A great effort by the veterans.
28:35And a great effort by both of these individuals.
28:40Hogan giving it.
28:41Hey, wait a minute.
28:42Look at this now.
28:44Hey, hey.
28:47One of his teammates at the NWO, Holland Nash.
28:51Look at this.
28:52Hold on.
28:53Now, wait a minute.
28:54What the hell are they doing?
28:55What the hell are they doing?
28:56Nash has sucker punched Hogan.
28:59Holland Nash double teaming Hollywood Hogan.
29:03What is this all about?
29:04Because he didn't win the match, what's wrong with these guys?
29:07Hogan had to know that he could do it on his own.
29:11And here comes The Rock now.
29:13And The Rock now defending Hogan.
29:16The Rock trying to fight.
29:17And Hogan is out.
29:20Hogan and The Rock fighting Holland Nash.
29:23Look at this.
29:24My God.
29:26I don't believe this.
29:27Whoa.
29:29Hogan just fighting Holland Nash.
29:32The Rock is the winner.
29:37I can't believe what we just witnessed there.
29:39If that match wasn't something, what about the aftermath?
29:42Who in God's name would have ever predicted this?
29:49Rock meets Hogan.
29:51We saw a sign of respect.
29:54Hogan said earlier that he had to try it.
29:58He had to know if he could do it on his own.
30:01Yeah, but did you see when Scott Hall came into the ring?
30:05He couldn't believe that.
30:07Scott Hall couldn't believe that Hulk Hogan shook hands with The Rock after the match.
30:11That's what they were ticked off about.
30:15Well, that's just too damn bad for Holland Nash.
30:20So no class in getting involved in this.
30:23Wait a minute.
30:24You expect class from the NWO, JR?
30:27Well, you're right.
30:28I asked too much.
30:31I'll tell you what, ladies and gentlemen.
30:33Hollywood Hulk Hogan will give you all he has.
30:36You've got to give him credit.
30:43As far as I'm concerned, if the NWO doesn't like the handshake,
30:48that's just too damn bad.
30:50Wait a minute, wait a minute now.
30:52Hold on.
30:53Now what?
30:55Now what?
30:56Hogan was going to leave and The Rock now.
31:01Hold on.
31:02Oh, wait a minute.
31:04You don't want to hear The Rock.
31:06The Rock is still a Hulkamaniac.
31:11The Rock is insisting that Hogan come back into the ring.
31:16And do you see what he wants Hulk to do?
31:20Now this is a show of respect from The Rock to Hollywood Hogan.
31:25Here we go.
31:26Here we go.
31:29Let's hear it over here.
31:33I think this crowd is going to give it to him.
31:35And they are.
31:36This crowd is showing respect to Hogan.
31:41And by God, he deserves it.
31:46A cross out by The Rock.
31:54There he is.
31:56And Hulk Hogan.
31:59Being respected by The Rock and all these fans here at SkyDome.
32:05This is finish Hogan.
32:07But no respect by the NWO to either man in the ring.
32:14It's The Rock.
32:15Rock is insisting that Hogan pose here.
32:21Who's that?
32:22Who's the loudest?
32:23Who is it?
32:24I love this.
32:25One more time.
32:28Hogan is hurting.
32:30He's been in a war here.
32:32Look at The Rock.
32:33The Rock wanted Hogan to pose.
32:37And now, that is respect.
32:40That is class.
32:43These two men, I think, have found a higher level of respect mutually
32:50than they ever dreamed of coming in here.
32:53A match that has ended with mutual respect by Hogan and Rock.
32:59And, again, one of you and I, we've seen a lot.
33:02Ever seen anything like we've just witnessed between these two greats.
33:07I love it, JR.
33:08I love it.
33:09It's the thing of beauty.
33:17I never thought I'd see it.
33:19Did you think you'd ever see this?
33:20No, I did not.
33:23I never, ever in my life thought I would see this.
33:28But this is WrestleMania.
33:31And WrestleMania are when dreams come true.
33:37And this is a dreamlike situation with Hogan and The Rock
33:43leaving with a sign of mutual respect.
33:48Unfortunately, I'm sure we haven't and The Hulk and The Rock
33:53haven't heard the last of the NWO.
33:58Unfortunately, I think you're right.
34:01Both men are winners.
34:02You're right there.
34:03Both men are winners here tonight.
34:06And I like what I see.
34:08And so do about 70,000 other fans here in the Sky Dome.
34:13Thank you.
34:16A lot of players.
