The crowd goes ballistic as “Real American” plays and Hulk Hogan walks out. He plays to the fans with the usual posing.
“I can’t tell you how great it is to be out here in front of the millions and millions of Hulkamaniacs, brother. I was laying in that hospital bed for a long time, brother, with 27 broken ribs. And all I could think about was getting back here to the WCW and the billions and billions of Hulkamaniacs, brother.”
“But at the same time, I was focused on the collision course I have with Andre the Giant, jack. I’ve never been in a Hell in a Cell match before, dude, but I’ve been to hell and back. It happens every time I step into the ring with that stinky, wart infested no good Andre the Giant.”
The audience boos as Maria leads out Andre the Giant. They stand on the floor next to the ring. Maria speaks. “Hogan, you should have stayed in that hospital bed, because now Andre will take it one step further and put you in the grave.”
“Lady, brother, you talk a good game, but this match isn’t about you running your mouth. It’s about me and Andre one last time forever and for good. And I don’t want to wait until War is Hell. I say, let’s do this tonight, brother.”
