04:08about these hulkamaniacs they can inspire hogan to do it
04:27so
04:46well we have said that a year ago we would have known about this business was even
04:52even possible because number one the game has sustained a career-threatening injury
04:58his partner set muscle his spine muscle completely off attendance and months of rehabilitation

05:12to fight for the wwf title in the game he came he saw he conquered at wrestlemania
05:20against a great champion in chris jericho but the emotion here is the wild card
05:29hogan not taking his eyes off the game
05:33the young lion to fight the older lion a standing ovation for the game a standing
05:39ovation for hogan for what a shot that was he said it the young lion with the old lion
05:47steering over his shoulder there what a shot
05:51triple h showing a lot of guns and he's got him he's got some big spawning
05:56covering his back daring to turn his back on hollywood hulk hogan
06:06this championship is as much a part of the game's life as any fiber in his feet but the same can be
06:15for hollywood hulk hogan hogan's legacy is written he will go down in history as the
06:21the greatest icon in the history of sports entertainment
06:25triple h is still writing his legacy and to say he beat hollywood hulk hogan on this night
06:33on april 22nd 2002 in kansas city would be an awesome awesome thing
06:40there's no intimidation there's no fear between these two men i do believe in my opinion that
06:51they have a great deal of respect for each other
06:59again the cerebral assassin
07:03one of the great matt wrestlers of any generation a great strategist but when he talked about
07:09but when he talked about tricks of the trade king and knowing every shortcut to take
07:15logan knows him very well oh yeah he invented a lot of
07:20that's the strength here collar elbow tie up
07:23and triple h the stronger of the two in that exchange you saw that sign earlier in the
07:31in the crowd battling the biceps both of these guys with tremendous physiques
07:37we're gonna see who's the stronger
07:41another collar elbow tie up hogan with the leverage advantage a little taller than the game
07:58wwf champion
08:08uh
08:18all these these hulkamaniacs they they motivate hogan
08:25enough to shove the game and overpower the champion
08:36hogan is using the adrenaline provided from these hulkamaniacs
08:41to his full advantage but the question still remains will it be enough
08:45okay
08:50triple h looking at locked up here another test of strength
08:59ripple roman knuckle lock at least it was
09:01it seems to be ready willing and able i think he is the stronger
09:08The game is a stallion, I'll tell you that.
09:11And he would love to prove that point to Hogan.
09:13That would be a tremendous ego deflator for Hogan.
09:17And the game has got the youth on his side
09:20in this particular matchup.
09:21And Hogan now, with that leverage advantage,
09:25with the height, now on top of the game,
09:28pressing the game down.
09:30Hogan winning this test of strength.
09:32Look at this! Uh-oh!
09:33And the game gutting it out.
09:37We're getting the advantage.
09:39The game now.
09:42On top of his game.
09:44Taking Hogan down to a knee.
09:48And this crowd trying to encourage Hollywood Hulk Hogan
09:54to fight back into it.
09:56But the game's got something to say about that.
09:59Hogan! Hogan! Hogan!
10:06It's here in the early going.
10:08Attempting to dominate Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
10:11Here comes Hogan!
10:14Hogan now took a deep breath.
10:16He's trying to gut it out here, get back up to that vertical base.
10:20And is successful in doing that.
10:23And now Hogan.
10:25Can Hogan regain the advantage on the game?
10:28And the game not giving Hogan that opportunity.
10:31Getting into the overhand wrist lock on Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
10:34And now the game putting Hogan down.
10:36Back down to one knee.
10:38That overhand wrist lock.
10:41That's a clever maneuver on the part of Triple H.
10:44He's got, he's using that leverage.
10:48Team referee Earl Hebner in good position.
10:50He's asking Hogan if he wanted to give it up.
10:52And that's his job.
10:53But I think Earl even knew, as we did,
10:55Hogan's gonna say no.
10:56And he did.
10:57I hope Claire's watching this.
10:59Even more importantly, I hope Earl Hebner doesn't make a mistake in this match,
11:03like Claire made in that undercut in the Austin match.
11:07And that was certainly unfortunate.
11:11High stakes matchup was then won.
11:12Look at the strength of Hulk Hogan!
11:14This one is even more high stakes.
11:17He's about to reverse that leverage!
11:20Hogan now turning into the side headlock on the game.
11:25Well, Hogan...
11:28He can get very basic, and I think we'll see that from Hogan in that matchup.
11:32That's a hard shoulder tackle.
11:34And Hogan again trying to insert his will in this matchup
11:39and do a little intimidating of his own with his massive size and physique.
11:45Like a chess match right here, JR.
11:47These guys are just...
11:50They're just feeling each other out right now.
11:52As big and powerful as these two are,
11:55the first man to make a huge mistake, obviously, is gonna...
11:58Perhaps not even lose, but...
12:01May lose more than just the match.
12:03As powerful as these men are.
12:05Break! One! Two!
12:07Come on! Back it up! Back it up! Back it up! Come on!
12:12Certainly want to thank all of our fans for staying up late with us in the UK.
12:15Oh, did you see that slap, JR?
12:17I did, and...
12:20Slapped Hogan and got the slap of taste out of his mouth.
12:22Well, you know what he's doing there. You know what...
12:25That Triple H was... That's a momentum shifter right there.
12:27He was trying to take these Hulkamaniacs completely out of this match.
12:30Look at Triple H go now, JR.
12:32And that did it. Triple H now pounding away on Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
12:36Got him back in the corner.
12:39Hard right hand, and that tape right hand of the game
12:42beating Hogan down in the corner.
12:46The fans from all over the world got to be,
12:49as we are, extremely interested in the outcome of this contest.
12:54The young lion, the game, there you see him, in magnificent shape.
12:59Has fought his way back from serious injury against the older lion.
13:05A man in his late 40s that has not had a WWF title match since 1993.
13:11Hot back body drop.
13:13Taking the game up on Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
13:17Coming with a very basic clothesline, using his power and his strength here.
13:23And right there, they're watching this all over the world.
13:25They're watching the Hulkamaniac take charge now.
13:30Come on, Hogan. Come on.
13:35And they're watching this right now in England.
13:38It's like 3.30 in the morning there.
13:43Hogan, that second rope mounting the game.
13:45Hammering down those big right hands.
13:49And Hogan not going to do anything fancy.
13:53That's not his style. He is a power guy.
13:56But the game is, in my view, certainly more multi-faceted
14:01as far as his in-ring technique is concerned.
14:05And Triple H, the momentum.
14:10Triple H's own momentum, getting him in the backside that time
14:13as Hogan elevated the game over the top.
14:17And the game on the outside, here comes Hogan out to get it.
14:22Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
14:25Can he capture lightning in a bottle one more time?
14:28That has been the question we have asked ourselves
14:30since Mr. McMahon named Hogan the number one contender.
14:34And therefore meeting the game here tonight at Backlash.
14:37And Hogan scores with the right hand.
14:40Oh, man. That's going to give him that ball.
14:43Way to go. Way to go, Hulk.
14:44Lost the match at WrestleMania to The Rock.
14:46He's won back his legions of Hulkamaniac fans.
14:50Again, Rick in the eyes.
14:52Trying to slow down Hulk Hogan.
14:53Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
14:54And Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
14:56Oh, Hogan, suplex. He's trying to block it.
14:59Hogan squatting down.
15:01And then he gets a suplex of his own.
15:04And the game's back splattering on the outside
15:08after the suplex of the challenger
15:12for the Undisputed Championship.
15:17A count out would mean that the game would retain
15:22the Undisputed title as Hogan now rakes the eyes
15:26much as Triple H did earlier.
15:28What about what Mr. McMahon said earlier?
15:32Should Hulk Hogan win this and become
15:35the Undisputed Champion?
15:36Then, well, then Triple H,
15:38well, he becomes the Undisputed property of SmackDown.
15:42Which means that the game will be working
15:44for his soon-to-be former father-in-law.
15:47Oh, boy.
15:49I wouldn't like that at all if I were the game.
15:50I don't know if I could even endure that.
15:52What?
15:54Pleasure to work for Mr. McMahon.
15:56It is if he doesn't kiss his ass
15:58and you're pretty good at that.
16:01You know, I just don't like it.
16:03It's only kissing up if you're not sincere, JR.
16:06Hard whip that was by the game.
16:08A lot of velocity there.
16:10And Hogan smashing into those turnbuckles
16:13and coming right back out to his,
16:15right on his gut.
16:16And now momentum has certainly changed.
16:18You can see it.
16:19You can feel it.
16:21Started with that slap, that slap earlier.
16:23That was smart of Triple H.
16:24I mean, he knew what to do to take these Hulkamaniacs
16:27right out of his pack.
16:28Because that's what Hulk beats on.
16:30And over the game, looking for the category.
16:32And Hogan quickly countered.
16:34Hogan countered.
16:36And now what you're going to do here,
16:38Hogan catapulting the game into the top turnbuckle.
16:42And now Hogan with a cradle.
16:44Hollywood Hogan, Hogan with a cradle in the game.
16:47Powered out, got the legs,
16:49used his legs to power out of that cradle by Hogan.
16:52And Hogan retaliates with one of his best offensive maneuvers,
16:56a straight right hand.
16:57A big, huge fist of the Hulkamaniac.
17:01And Hogan, Hogan now picking up,
17:04beginning to build momentum against the game.
17:08Straight right hands.
17:11Hogan scored the first attempt at pinfall in this matchup,
17:14if you recall, and is now using nothing
17:16but basic straight ahead stuff.
17:18Look at that!
17:20Hogan with a modified neck breaker,
17:21almost a diamond cutter-like move by Hogan,
17:24taking down the game,
17:26and now reaching back for the leg,
17:28and the game kicked out.
17:31Hogan wanting a faster count.
17:34Man, we have had all those-
17:35You should be thankful Rick Flair's not in this matchup.
17:37We've had our share of problems with the counts tonight,
17:39and the officiating.
17:41Again, I'm, well, I'm not going to get into that Flair story.
17:44Oh! Oh!
17:46The game went right downstairs on that,
17:49on that, on that left knee of Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
17:51and I know Hogan wears a knee brace on that knee.
17:56That just, that just demonstrates
17:59just how important this match is.
18:01Crowd was booing, but it's a legal maneuver.
18:03The game's not doing anything illegal.
18:05He's very aggressive, but rightfully so.
18:08The game's championship is on the line,
18:10and as I said, that the WWF Undisputed Title
18:13means as much to the game as any,
18:16as it could possibly mean to any human being.
18:18And obviously, Triple H realizes
18:20that he's definitely on to something with that leg there.
18:25And of course, as we have mentioned,
18:29well, the winner of this match awaits the Undertaker.
18:34And Triple H hammering away.
18:39How ironic, the Undertaker meeting the WF champion
18:41in the middle of the ring.
18:46And Hogan, you can hear Hogan,
18:48he's in some serious pain.
18:49He certainly is, the whole leg there's,
18:51Hogan has had numerous surgeries on that left knee.
18:55And over the years, in his over two decade career,
19:00he's had his share of knee injuries.
19:01And that's why JR, they call Triple H
19:04the cerebral assassin.
19:05You know, he does his homework.
19:07He knows, he knows, probably knows every injury
19:09that Hulk Hogan has sustained throughout his entire career.
19:12And if anybody knows about leg injuries
19:15and the delicacy of a knee and a thigh, it's the game.
19:19Cause he just, he endured eight months of rehab.
19:22And look at Hogan, Hogan writhing in pain,
19:25screaming in pain as the game just drove his elbow.
19:30And Hogan trying to intervene here.
19:33And right now the game is continuing
19:35to build the momentum.
19:36And when he's destroyed the vertical base
19:39of Hollywood Hulk Hogan,
19:40there's not gonna be any big puts to the face
19:42or any leg drops.
19:43If your opponent's on his back.
19:45What I'm seeing, JR, is I'm seeing Triple H
19:47do exactly what he told the world he was gonna do.
19:50He looked at Hulk Hogan as an obstacle
19:52and he was gonna run him over.
19:55And now the game focusing on that left knee
19:57of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
19:58And Hogan is, what we're seeing here, JR,
20:02is Triple H's pedigree and no pun intended there.
20:07Triple H has effectively taken these Hulkamaniacs
20:10right out of the ballgame.
20:12This crowd is somewhat silent right now.
20:14As Hogan, as you can see, he is writhing.
20:18He's trying to figure out some way
20:20to take some of that pressure off his infant knee.
20:23And that left knee is just being,
20:25it is being tortured by the game.
20:27Everything the game is doing is methodical.
20:30Listen, listen, JR.
20:31Listen, we've got these Hulkamaniacs.
20:33They're not silent anymore.
20:37I can guarantee the more these Hulkamaniacs
20:39get in this match, the louder they are,
20:41the more effective it will be for Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
20:47They're not being very effective right now, but...
20:49And, oh, the game,
20:51he was thinking about a figure-four leg lock.
20:53And Hogan kicked out of it.
20:55And the game, relentless and extremely focused
20:59on that left leg.
21:00And this crowd, this crowd's booing,
21:02but the game's doing nothing illegal.
21:05He's just tough.
21:07You're right, he's not doing anything
21:09he said he wasn't gonna do.
21:12And what we've got here,
21:14Triple H is relentless on that knee,
21:16but Triple H is finding himself
21:18in the same position The Rock was at WrestleMania.
21:20This is a very pro Hollywood Hogan crowd.
21:25Why is that, JR?
21:26Do you understand it?
21:27Do you get it?
21:28I would like to be able to tell you
21:29I have all the answers, but I don't.
21:31If the Hulkamaniacs, it's an intangible.
21:36How do you describe what Hulkamania is?
21:39It's a feeling.
21:41It's an emotion.
21:43It's the best way I can describe it.
21:46And the game now, now up to his vertical base.
21:49Look at the physics of this encounter.
21:52The game on a vertical base,
21:54using the step over leg lock.
21:56And now again, and Hogan's out with that one good leg
21:59and took the game right to the turnbuckle.
22:02But Triple H still maintains that vertical base.
22:05And now out of frustration,
22:06the game hammering those right hands
22:10and that rather ample size head of the challenger.
22:13And the choke, quite frankly, a blatant choke.
22:17And you're right, and the people here are booing.
22:19And I, you know, you got to wonder
22:21what is it about Hulkamania?
22:23What is it about the Hulk?
22:24Why are the majority of these fans
22:26for an athlete that, well, I mean,
22:29when you look at the two of them, let's face it,
22:31Hulk's in his late 40s.
22:32Oh, wait a minute.
22:33The game, trying to set in the figure four,
22:37and he's got it.
22:39Triple H with a figure four leg lock
22:41on Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
22:42And Hogan is a long, long way from the ropes.
22:46Big trouble, big trouble.
22:49Hogan's hopes and dreams may be going up right up in smoke.
22:55They're being flushed by the game down the drain.
22:58And the game with all that strength and power
23:01on the figure four.
23:04And Hogan, if he could turn the game over
23:07to the game stomach, he'll release some of the pressure,
23:10but look at the game.
23:12And Triple H, he's taking a shortcut here,
23:16using the unfair advantage.
23:19I don't think Hogan would do the same thing
23:21if he had the opportunity, JR.
23:23There's no doubt about that.
23:23You're right about that.
23:24Hogan will do anything he has to do
23:27to become a WWF champion one more time.
23:30Hogan has called himself the Babe Ruth of the WWF.
23:34And I believe that this is his last chance
23:36to compete for the WWF title.
23:41And Hogan now, he knows the count of the figure four.
23:45He's trying to roll the game over,
23:47but Triple H using those ropes again
23:49to his fullest advantage, right or wrong,
23:52and it's not right.
23:53And it's very effective.
23:54Well, there's the referee making a mistake.
23:55He's not seeing what Triple H is doing.
23:59Oh, now the referee is looking, he's got him turned.
24:02And Hogan's turned him.
24:03The pressure now is on the legs of the game.
24:06Hollywood Hulk Hogan has put the pressure
24:10on that bad knee of Triple H.
24:12Let's not forget his liabilities
24:15once his knee is twisted and punished.
24:22Uh-oh, sleeper hold.
24:24Triple H navigating Hogan to the ropes on one leg.
24:29That wasn't a pretty sight
24:31because Hogan is just damn near a one-legged man right now.
24:35Now the sleeper hold,
24:37sort of certainly a modified version thereof,
24:40as Hulk Hogan, again, in a hell of a bad position.
24:45And again, the Hulkamaniacs starting to stir.
24:50Starting to attempt to interject their momentum,
24:53their adrenaline into the big frame
24:56of the challenger, Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
24:58Well, that's what Hulk needs, but...
25:01Right now, it's not working.
25:06Hogan's hand.
25:07Whoa!
25:09Uh-oh!
25:10And he says it's not over yet.
25:15This may hold up right here.
25:16Hogan won his first WWE title 18 years ago.
25:21And comes with a desperation suplex
25:24that at least is gonna buy the challenger
25:27a little bit of time.
25:29Hogan's left leg, there you see,
25:30he's moving that right leg around.
25:32Look at the left leg, just lying like it's a limp.
25:35Now, that's bought Hogan some time,
25:37but you can't help but feel
25:39that Hogan is running out of time
25:40because the longer this match goes,
25:42the more in favor is Triple H.
25:45Hogan countering Triple H
25:46and scoring with the right hand.
25:48Triple H has got to try to get back to those legs
25:50of Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
25:52Hogan, the one-legged Hulk Hogan.
25:55And Triple H, the one-legged Hulk Hogan.
25:57Hogan, Hogan with an adrenaline rush here.
26:00In the sledge, right to the head
26:02of the undisputed champion.
26:03There he goes!
26:04And Hogan now with another adrenaline rush.
26:08Soon in the game for The Rock!
26:09Up a big foot!
26:10Wait a minute!
26:11Hogan got the foot!
26:12Wait a minute, JR!
26:13In the leg!
26:14It's gonna be over here!
26:15Look, do you see what I see?
26:18Hogan's got the...
26:19Wait a minute!
26:20Chris Jericho just assaulted Earl Elmer!
26:24What the hell is this about?
26:27Hogan had this match won!
26:29It just got screwed by...
26:31by Jericho!
26:33And Jericho with a tear shot!
26:35A tear-steal intervention on Hogan's head!
26:39And Triple H is calling...
26:40He's calling toward Hogan!
26:42Jericho's trying to revive the referee!
26:44Jericho does not want Hogan to win this match!
26:48What a bitter...
26:49What a bitter human being is Chris Jericho!
26:52And he watched what happened to the family!
26:54Wait a minute!
26:55Look at that!
26:55And the game was...
26:56He does not want...
26:58Does not want any of Jericho's help!
27:03Facebuster by the game!
27:05Jericho's got no business out here!
27:07And the bell!
27:08Former Undisputed Champion!
27:10Being evicted from the premises!
27:16Hogan had the match won, quite frankly!
27:23Hogan's trying to hook up here!
27:24Yes, he is!
27:26My God, can it be?
27:27Can you...
27:28You think it's gonna happen?
27:31Is...
27:32Is this reality?
27:33Or is this a dream for Hogan?
27:38Is it perception or reality?
27:40Hogan now sending the game for the ride!
27:42And Hogan again!
27:45Hogan with a big butt!
27:47A big leg drop!
27:48And the leg drop did not score!
27:50The game aborted the leg drop on that occasion!
27:54Hogan going to the well the second time!
27:56But the game aborted contact!
27:59And Triple H going downstage!
28:01Now Triple H loading Hogan up!
28:05The pedigree!
28:06Hogan's head!
28:07His face through the canvas!
28:09With a pedigree!
28:11This one is gonna be over!
28:13Triple H is...
28:14Oh!
28:14My God!
28:15The Undertaker just struck the referee!
28:17What the hell?
28:18The Undertaker just struck the referee!
28:20Right in the head!
28:22I don't think the referee knew what hit him!
28:24The Undertaker didn't want Triple H to win this match!
28:27Oh, man!
28:29God Almighty!
28:31You can hear a human being's skull!
28:33Just being cracked!
28:35And his brain scrambled!
28:38Triple H knocked down and look at...
28:40Oh, look at The Undertaker!
28:41He's pulling...
28:41Hogan over to...
28:42To cover Triple H!
28:44And Hogan says,
28:45Hell no!
28:46I don't want your help!
28:47I don't need your help!
28:50Triple H!
28:51Triple H!
28:52Hogan scores with the right hand!
28:53Triple H!
28:54More right hands!
28:56Triple H!
28:57Oh, the Undertaker!
28:59Look out here!
29:01The leg drop!
29:02Hogan got the leg drop!
29:04The referee's there!
29:06There's a count!
29:08Oh, my God!
29:10My God!
29:11My God, he's done it!
29:12Oh, my God!
29:13And new undisputed World Wrestling Federation champion,
29:20Hollywood Hulk Hogan!
29:24We have witnessed the rebirth of Hulkamania!
29:29Hulkamania is alive!
29:32Hulkamania is real!
29:36It is reality!
29:37Can you believe it?
29:39Can you believe it?
29:40World, look at this!
29:42Is it perception or is it reality?
29:45Tonight, it is, by God, reality!
29:48Hulk Hogan!
29:48Hulk Hogan!
29:49Hollywood Hulk Hogan has climbed again to the top of the mountain!
29:53And the first time in his life,
29:55he is the undisputed WWF champion!
30:02Man, the Undertaker making sure that Triple H didn't win this match.
30:08That chair shot busted Triple H right open, look at that!
30:11Triple H is bleeding profusely, thanks to the Undertaker!
30:15And I don't...
30:15Oh, the game is shaking!
30:20Triple H staring down at the new champion.
30:23The game knows what went down here.
30:25Oh, my God.
30:28Triple H has just lost the most important thing in his life.
30:32The undisputed title.
30:34And what's gonna happen here?
30:36It could be another explosion.
30:38Hulk Hogan!
30:39Hulk Hogan!
30:40Triple H, look at him, he's just shaking!
30:42And it won't be pretty when they get it on here again, I guarantee you.
30:45This one is not over.
30:48Hogan has won the...
30:50What?
30:50I'll be damned.
30:52I'll just be damned, ladies and gentlemen!
30:54The game extending his hand!
30:56I wonder, does he mean it?
30:58Does the game mean this?
31:04I got him in it!
31:05That is a class act!
31:08The blood of Triple H pouring from his head, thanks to The Undertaker.
31:14The Undertaker cost Triple H his dream, his life on this night.
31:20But this night belongs to Hollywood!
31:23Hulk Hogan, this night belongs to the Hulkamaniacs!
31:29People hoped for it, JR!
31:31People dreamed about it, but I don't think anybody really believed it would happen!
31:35But it has happened!
31:37Hollywood Hulk Hogan has just defeated the very best in the business
