WEBVTT

00:00:00.271 --> 00:00:03.332
SPEAKER: And never, number one,
asked for a title match

00:00:03.332 --> 00:00:06.172
and number two,
never wanted a title match.

00:00:06.172 --> 00:00:09.031
SPEAKER: He can tell you he wanted it
Walter your knowledge is wrong

00:00:09.031 --> 00:00:11.930
because right he's got one
and he definitely asked for it.

00:00:11.930 --> 00:00:15.100
He ripped the shirt off the champion 
as well as the crucifix.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:17.315
I figure that's a direct way 
of asking for it.

00:00:17.315 --> 00:00:19.265
SPEAKER: Yeah, it certainly is 
but all that came

00:00:19.265 --> 00:00:21.897
with the provocation 
of that guy right there

00:00:21.897 --> 00:00:25.071
with the white waiter's jacket on,
Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.

00:00:25.071 --> 00:00:31.360
SPEAKER: There he is, 7 foot 5",
525, neck 24, chest 71,

biceps 21, hands 16,
wrist 11 inches, forearm 17,

00:00:36.004 --> 00:00:38.016
thighs 36, calves 22.

00:00:38.016 --> 00:00:41.970
SPEAKER: We could be looking at the next 
heavyweight champion of the world.

00:00:41.970 --> 00:00:43.252
And I just gave you the tail of the tale.

00:00:43.252 --> 00:00:48.299
SPEAKER: And now his opponent.
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:00:48.299 --> 00:00:57.102
He is from Venice Beach California,
weighing in at 294 pounds

00:00:57.435 --> 00:01:03.365
he is the World's Wrestling Federation
Heavyweight Champion,

00:01:03.365 --> 00:01:08.044
Hulk Hogan!
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:01:08.044 --> 00:01:12.328
SPEAKER: The roof of the Silverdome 
about to explode here

00:01:12.328 --> 00:01:18.327
as the Hulkstar greets at least 
93,00 fans greet him.

00:01:18.327 --> 00:01:20.026
You're looking at him.

00:01:20.026 --> 00:01:22.973
The greatest professional athlete 
in the world today

00:01:22.973 --> 00:01:24.656
the world's heavyweight champion.

00:01:24.656 --> 00:01:28.152
SPEAKER: Oh right now Gorilla,
he may not be a few moments from now.

00:01:28.152 --> 00:01:33.800
Let me run it down, Hogan 6 foot 8", 294,
neck 21, chest 58,

00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:39.309
biceps at a phenomenal 24 inches,
forearms 18, wrists 9 inches,

00:01:39.309 --> 00:01:45.132
hands 13.5, thighs 30.5, calves 20,
(INAUDIBLE)

00:01:46.136 --> 00:01:51.549
SPEAKER: A phenomenal individual
and Hulkamania, look at him Jess.

00:01:51.549 --> 00:01:53.975
It's a lights and running well.

00:01:53.975 --> 00:02:00.108
SPEAKER: You got 93,173 fans standing on
their feet for this one Gorilla,

00:02:00.108 --> 00:02:02.342
and I hope my voice holds up.

00:02:02.342 --> 00:02:05.566
SPEAKER: It's holding up just fine Jess.

00:02:05.566 --> 00:02:11.379
And look at the Hulkstar.
What an unbelievable individual he is.

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:15.063
And what a representative as the 
world's heavyweight champion.

00:02:15.063 --> 00:02:19.612
SPEAKER: This is the biggest match in 
the history of professional wrestling.

00:02:19.612 --> 00:02:26.745
SPEAKER: No question. 
This is the final time chest

00:02:26.745 --> 00:02:31.556
win, lose or draw for the Hulkstar
to wear that particular belt into the ring.

00:02:31.556 --> 00:02:34.742
SPEAKER: And what pressure 
on referee Joey Marella

00:02:34.742 --> 00:02:37.690
refereeing the biggest match in history
right here.

00:02:37.690 --> 00:02:41.956
SPEAKER: Look at the stare 
of the champion against the challenger.

00:02:41.956 --> 00:02:45.517
The irresistible force 
reading the immovable object.

00:02:45.517 --> 00:02:50.285
SPEAKER: Look at the size of The Giant.
I mean Hogan is 6 foot 8".

00:02:50.285 --> 00:02:52.979
SPEAKER: Andre is 7 foot 5".
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:58.121
The bell is gone,
this one is officially underway.

00:02:58.121 --> 00:03:02.433
Look at the look of disdain
on the face of Andre.

00:03:02.433 --> 00:03:04.095
SPEAKER: What's Hogan saying 
to him I wonder?

00:03:04.095 --> 00:03:06.521
What could Hogan possibly 
be saying to him?

00:03:06.521 --> 00:03:09.066
SPEAKER: I'd certainly like to be able 
to read lips at this point.

00:03:09.066 --> 00:03:11.472
SPEAKER: He's on though, 
he's hulking up right now.

00:03:11.472 --> 00:03:14.987
SPEAKER: Shoved by Andre 
and the champion retaliates.

00:03:14.987 --> 00:03:18.913
Oh, big right hand blocked 
by the champion (CROWD CHEERS)

00:03:18.913 --> 00:03:22.489
and the Hulkstar unloading, body slam! 
Oh,he almost got him up.

00:03:22.489 --> 00:03:26.377
Oh, he collapsed, one two!

00:03:26.377 --> 00:03:28.022
Two count only.

00:03:28.022 --> 00:03:29.728
SPEAKER: Was that two or was that three?

00:03:29.728 --> 00:03:31.089
SPEAKER: Two count only.

00:03:31.089 --> 00:03:32.834
SPEAKER: Oh that was close Gorilla!

00:03:32.834 --> 00:03:34.176
SPEAKER: Shoulder was up.

00:03:34.176 --> 00:03:35.846
SPEAKER: Oh, was that close, 
Andre thinks he won

00:03:35.846 --> 00:03:38.032
and just like that, Hogan is hurt.

00:03:38.032 --> 00:03:40.197
Hogan went for a body slam 
earlier in the bout

00:03:40.197 --> 00:03:43.079
and he may have injured his back.

00:03:43.079 --> 00:03:45.416
SPEAKER: The man hurt 
that lower back area for sure

00:03:45.416 --> 00:03:48.221
with that extreme weight
of Andre the giant.

00:03:48.221 --> 00:03:51.488
Referee showing the timekeeper
that it was a two count

00:03:51.488 --> 00:03:52.894
and his shoulder came up.

00:03:52.894 --> 00:03:56.750
SPEAKER: Well that was very very close,
Hogan may be injured.

00:03:56.750 --> 00:03:57.479
(LOUD THUD)

00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.271
Oh Andre is going to work on the back.
He definitely is, Hogan's back is hurt.

00:04:02.271 --> 00:04:05.281
That's a bad sign for the champion
this early in the bout.

00:04:05.281 --> 00:04:06.943
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:04:06.943 --> 00:04:10.758
SPEAKER: Referee riding down and 
questioning the champion.

00:04:10.758 --> 00:04:17.512
And Andre just patiently grinding away
with those awesome forearm shots

00:04:17.512 --> 00:04:19.295
into the kidney area of the champion.

00:04:19.295 --> 00:04:23.222
SPEAKER: You know, I gotta say Andre's 
making it look easy right now Gorilla.

00:04:23.222 --> 00:04:24.935
SPEAKER: He certainly is Jess.

00:04:24.935 --> 00:04:27.452
SPEAKER; You know, the champion may have 
signed himself out.

00:04:27.452 --> 00:04:31.351
He may have gotten so hyped for this match
and he's blown himself out

00:04:31.351 --> 00:04:33.371
before it even happens.

00:04:33.371 --> 00:04:35.771
SPEAKER: That adrenaline has got 
to be flowing through the body

00:04:35.771 --> 00:04:39.377
of the world's heavyweight champ.
Oh, a knee lift by Andre

00:04:39.377 --> 00:04:42.677
and the Hulk's in serious
serious trouble.

00:04:42.677 --> 00:04:46.075
SPEAKER: And the big man keeps him down, 
and the man, it's trouble alright.

00:04:46.075 --> 00:04:48.985
SPEAKER: Oh slam. 
Andre picked him up with ease.

00:04:48.985 --> 00:04:49.521
(BODY SLAMS, HULK GROANS)

00:04:49.521 --> 00:04:54.571
And puts him right in 
that lower lumbar region,

00:04:54.571 --> 00:04:57.479
that kidney area that's 
already been damaged.

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:00.607
SPEAKER: He almost broke Hogan right 
through the back of it Andre.

00:05:00.607 --> 00:05:04.485
Andre telling the champion get up. 
Get up!

00:05:04.485 --> 00:05:07.832
SPEAKER: There is almost literally a hush
here in the Silverdome Jess.

00:05:07.832 --> 00:05:13.732
SPEAKER: You know it's almost seemed 
at this point the bout, it's a mismatch.

00:05:13.732 --> 00:05:15.578
SPEAKER: Hulkstar trying to make it
to his feet,

00:05:15.578 --> 00:05:20.380
Andre gets him up
and puts him in another slam.

00:05:21.338 --> 00:05:23.856
How many times can the champion take that?

00:05:23.856 --> 00:05:26.462
SPEAKER: The big giant's working him. 
Wow, look at this!

00:05:26.462 --> 00:05:27.615
(HULK GROANS)

00:05:27.615 --> 00:05:30.502
SPEAKER: Walking right over the back 
of the champ.

00:05:30.502 --> 00:05:32.845
SPEAKER: You know, The Brain's gotta be 
feeling good right now,

00:05:32.845 --> 00:05:36.703
Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, 
he's gotta be feeling good.

00:05:36.703 --> 00:05:40.034
SPEAKER: Anxiety running through 
his veins as well as he is...

00:05:40.034 --> 00:05:42.810
What a golden opportunity 
for him to walk out of here

00:05:42.810 --> 00:05:45.256
the manager of the new world's 
heavyweight champion.

00:05:45.256 --> 00:05:48.567
SPEAKER: You know I've never seen Hogan 
beaten down like this.

00:05:48.567 --> 00:05:52.793
I've never seen Hogan crawling on the mat
it's obvious he's hurt his back

00:05:52.793 --> 00:05:56.649
attempting to go for that big body slam 
earlier in the bout.

00:05:56.649 --> 00:06:02.683
SPEAKER: Andre picks him up literally
by the tights,

00:06:02.683 --> 00:06:07.628
rips him into the side.
Further damage done.

00:06:07.628 --> 00:06:12.323
And Andre's just taking his time, 
Andre seems to have no fear at all

00:06:12.323 --> 00:06:14.975
for Hogan's strength.

00:06:14.975 --> 00:06:19.829
SPEAKER: None whatsoever but a lot of guys
have made that mistake as well Jess.

00:06:19.829 --> 00:06:24.718
Hard again once into the turnbuckles.
(CROWD SHOUTS)

00:06:24.718 --> 00:06:28.601
And the referee right over there 
taking a good look at the champ

00:06:28.601 --> 00:06:31.837
as we look over the shoulder of 
Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.

00:06:31.837 --> 00:06:36.651
SPEAKER: I heard on Andre yell
what do you think of your champion now?

00:06:36.651 --> 00:06:38.141
(GRUNTS)

00:06:38.141 --> 00:06:41.323
SPEAKER: Andre with a shoulder block
into the stamina,

00:06:41.323 --> 00:06:46.036
you can hear Bobby 'The Brain' 
screaming again, again!

00:06:46.184 --> 00:06:48.284
SPEAKER: And I'll tell you, 
Hogan started off quick

00:06:48.284 --> 00:06:52.410
but has had virtually no offence
since going for that big body slam

00:06:52.410 --> 00:06:55.344
at the start.

00:06:55.419 --> 00:06:56.441
(GRUNTS)

00:06:56.441 --> 00:06:58.854
SPEAKER: Oh, champ's gotta get 
out of that corner,

00:06:58.854 --> 00:07:02.209
he is getting crushed in there.

00:07:02.244 --> 00:07:02.847
SPEAKER: Gorilla...

00:07:02.847 --> 00:07:07.354
SPEAKER: Oh, The Brain just screamed
headbutt him, and Andre delivers.

00:07:07.354 --> 00:07:10.407
SPEAKER: If Hogan doesn't get out 
of this predicament right now

00:07:10.407 --> 00:07:12.540
we're gonna see a new champion Gorilla.

00:07:12.540 --> 00:07:14.835
SPEAKER: You got that right.

00:07:14.835 --> 00:07:18.893
SPEAKER: How much punishment 
can the champion Hogan take?

00:07:18.893 --> 00:07:21.850
SPEAKER: A whole lot Jess, I've seen him 
do it on a number of occasions.

00:07:21.850 --> 00:07:25.041
SPEAKER: But never from a guy 525 pounds.

00:07:25.041 --> 00:07:26.749
SPEAKER: Absolutely not.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:07:26.749 --> 00:07:29.438
Oh the Hulkstar sneaked out 
under the back door.

00:07:29.438 --> 00:07:30.759
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.890
He's out of the corner
and it's the Hulk with a right hand

00:07:35.890 --> 00:07:40.469
and another one,
walk the ropes, a big roundhouse right!

00:07:40.837 --> 00:07:42.481
He's got the giant stunned!

00:07:42.481 --> 00:07:45.012
SPEAKER: He's got him stunned,
can he keep him? Big elbow.

00:07:45.012 --> 00:07:48.814
SPEAKER: An elbow, 
and Andre is just teetering.

00:07:48.814 --> 00:07:51.139
(LOUD SMACK)

00:07:51.139 --> 00:07:53.174
SPEAKER: Hogan's giving it everything 
he's got right here,

00:07:53.174 --> 00:07:56.303
he's got the giant reeled into the corner.

00:07:56.303 --> 00:08:00.122
SPEAKER: It's the champion with the 
upper hand right now and he rams Andre.

00:08:00.122 --> 00:08:02.829
Once, twice, three times, four times!
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:08:02.829 --> 00:08:08.650
Hitting that top turnbuckle 
time after time (CROWD CHEERS WILDLY).

00:08:08.705 --> 00:08:14.711
Andre dazed, 
the eyes were looking very strange there.

00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:16.990
As the Hulk comes after (CROWD GROANS)

00:08:16.990 --> 00:08:20.577
Ran right into that size 22.

00:08:20.577 --> 00:08:23.249
SPEAKER: Andre with a tremendous
desperation move

00:08:23.249 --> 00:08:26.017
caught the champion coming in
flush on the jaw

00:08:26.017 --> 00:08:29.997
with that size 22/24 boot,
and Hogan's back on the mat

00:08:30.078 --> 00:08:32.007
and back in trouble again.

00:08:32.007 --> 00:08:34.459
SPEAKER: He is grinning like a giant,
are you alright?

00:08:34.459 --> 00:08:38.971
And he looked down and nodded affirmatively.

00:08:38.971 --> 00:08:40.337
(LOUD SMACK, HULK GROANS)

00:08:40.337 --> 00:08:44.544
Wow! What a chop by Andre.

00:08:44.544 --> 00:08:45.570
Oh, the bear hug!

00:08:45.570 --> 00:08:49.119
SPEAKER: He could get a submission 
on this.

00:08:49.119 --> 00:08:51.339
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:08:51.339 --> 00:08:57.559
SPEAKER: I will be the Hulk's surprise guy
in all these 93,000 plus,

00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.683
if the Hulkstar submits to this.

00:08:59.683 --> 00:09:01.702
SPEAKER: Well he may not have 
no choice Gorilla.

00:09:01.702 --> 00:09:05.667
He has never been put in a hold 
in a bear hug like this

00:09:05.667 --> 00:09:09.105
by a man with the size 
and the strength of Andre.

00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:11.778
SPEAKER: This guy has guts personified.

00:09:11.778 --> 00:09:14.687
SPEAKER: I'm not denying that, 
I'm not denying that for a minute.

00:09:14.687 --> 00:09:17.402
He's a tremendous champion
but he's facing a man

00:09:17.402 --> 00:09:20.224
who has never been beaten in 15 years.

00:09:20.224 --> 00:09:22.265
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:09:22.265 --> 00:09:24.588
SPEAKER: The record of the reigning 
world's heavyweight champion

00:09:24.588 --> 00:09:28.170
is not a shabby one either Jess.
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:09:28.170 --> 00:09:30.169
SPEAKER: Heenan's yelling out, 
ring the bell, ring the bell.

00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:33.272
You can hear Bobby Heenan
yelling to referee Joey Marella

00:09:33.272 --> 00:09:34.907
it's over, ring the bell.

00:09:34.907 --> 00:09:37.752
SPEAKER: Referee right there, 
checking every side.

00:09:37.752 --> 00:09:41.010
Checking to see if the Hulkstar
indeed wants to quit.

00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:43.898
Highly unlikely in my book.

00:09:43.898 --> 00:09:48.564
But going from side to side as the hulk
tries to ram that right hand,

00:09:48.564 --> 00:09:50.115
he was unsuccessful Jess.

00:09:50.115 --> 00:09:52.984
SPEAKER: Yeah, I'm telling you,
Gorilla what's happening here,

00:09:52.984 --> 00:09:56.629
Andre is putting the squeeze on
He's taking the air away from Hogan.

00:09:56.629 --> 00:10:00.143
Hogan is not being allowed 
to get a full breath of oxygen in there,

00:10:00.143 --> 00:10:02.783
and that's subsequently gonna 
make him light headed,

00:10:02.783 --> 00:10:05.967
and it's gonna make the knees shake
and it could set him up.

00:10:05.967 --> 00:10:09.585
SPEAKER: Well eventually he'll put him
away with it if possible,

00:10:09.585 --> 00:10:14.822
he'll just squeeze all the air out of him
and not allow any air to get in.

00:10:14.822 --> 00:10:17.614
And the fans watching him try 
to bring in that oxygen.

00:10:17.614 --> 00:10:21.968
SPEAKER; You can see Hogan's appealing
to the 93,000 Hulkamanians

00:10:21.968 --> 00:10:23.661
here in the Silverdome.

00:10:23.661 --> 00:10:26.791
SPEAKER: Give you that little bit 
of extra something that you need,

00:10:26.791 --> 00:10:29.346
to get that adrenaline flowing once more

00:10:29.346 --> 00:10:33.462
to combat the likes
of Andre the Giant.

00:10:33.462 --> 00:10:35.684
SPEAKER: Andre holding tough 
with him though,

00:10:35.684 --> 00:10:39.261
Andre's, you know, 
he's got him ready for this bumping.

00:10:39.261 --> 00:10:42.662
'Cause Andre has rushed nothing,
Hogan's arm is going down.

00:10:42.662 --> 00:10:45.791
This could be history right here 
Gorilla Monsoon.

00:10:45.791 --> 00:10:51.575
SPEAKER: The Hulkstar 
just withering away here.

00:10:51.575 --> 00:10:53.722
Referee checking the arm,
wow, look at that.

00:10:53.722 --> 00:10:57.053
SPEAKER: One more time and it's over. 
One more time if that arm drops

00:10:57.053 --> 00:10:58.746
and it's over.

00:10:58.746 --> 00:11:02.187
SPEAKER: Dropped again. 
It's gotta be three times I believe Jess.

00:11:02.187 --> 00:11:05.214
Wow, look at that! 
It's up now. (CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:11:05.214 --> 00:11:09.875
Listen to these fans.

00:11:09.875 --> 00:11:11.829
SPEAKER: He's still got it,
where'd the hold go?

00:11:11.829 --> 00:11:16.198
SPEAKER: He's still the champion.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:19.983
Hulk fighting with every ounce 
of courage in him.

00:11:19.983 --> 00:11:23.096
Right on the side of the ear 
with a right.

00:11:23.096 --> 00:11:25.782
And another one, 
still hasn't broken the hold.

00:11:25.782 --> 00:11:28.742
The third one did, and another one, 
and another one.

00:11:28.742 --> 00:11:29.893
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:11:29.893 --> 00:11:32.945
And the champion unloading 
with everything he's got.

00:11:32.945 --> 00:11:36.565
SPEAKER: He's still in, 
he finally broke the hold.

00:11:36.565 --> 00:11:40.093
SPEAKER: Andre being stunned now.
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:11:40.093 --> 00:11:46.402
The champion hurting his hand but
he's hurting the giant as well.

00:11:46.402 --> 00:11:50.190
It's the champion on the ropes.

00:11:51.862 --> 00:11:57.076
Coming off once again,
driving Andre back a few steps.

00:11:57.076 --> 00:12:00.666
SPEAKER: Unbelievable Monsoon, 
I can't believe it.

00:12:00.666 --> 00:12:04.688
SPEAKER: Ram's hard into the champ.
(CROWD CHEERS)

00:12:04.688 --> 00:12:07.811
SPEAKER: Hogan is down, Andre needs
to do something here to finish him off.

00:12:07.811 --> 00:12:11.958
SPEAKER: Andre is shaking his head
and trying to clear the cobwebs.

00:12:11.958 --> 00:12:16.399
Picks up the champion (INAUDIBLE)
downed him with that boot

00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.381
and the Hulkstar's out.
Out onto the floor.

00:12:20.381 --> 00:12:22.174
SPEAKER: Don't let this match 
end in a countdown.

00:12:22.174 --> 00:12:26.765
SPEAKER: Andre going right out after him.

00:12:26.765 --> 00:12:30.695
Andre the Giant continuing to administer
the punishment.

00:12:30.695 --> 00:12:35.227
What a job.
Referee is counting both men.

00:12:35.227 --> 00:12:37.554
SPEAKER: Oh! Andre headbutted the post.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:12:37.554 --> 00:12:41.749
SPEAKER: He sure did. 
The champion dropped right out of the way.

00:12:42.338 --> 00:12:46.312
Look at the Hulk crawling 
around the side

00:12:46.312 --> 00:12:50.110
trying to figure out where he's at.

00:12:50.418 --> 00:12:52.635
SPEAKER; What do you think he's doing?

00:12:52.635 --> 00:12:55.566
SPEAKER: He's rolling back
that canvas area

00:12:55.566 --> 00:12:56.370
SPEAKER: For what?

00:12:56.370 --> 00:13:01.804
SPEAKER: To expose that concrete.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:02.782 --> 00:13:08.210
The world's champion Hulk Hogan,
oh look at this!

00:13:08.210 --> 00:13:10.294
He's going for a palm driver Jess.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:10.294 --> 00:13:12.784
SPEAKER: He can't possibly get it.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:12.784 --> 00:13:18.567
SPEAKER: Andre turned it over.
Hulkstar made a big mistake there.

00:13:20.389 --> 00:13:23.491
SPEAKER: I'll tell you what that there,
I don't know what Hogan

00:13:23.491 --> 00:13:25.843
was thinking up there,
but that was horrible sportsmanship

00:13:25.843 --> 00:13:26.930
on his part.

00:13:26.930 --> 00:13:30.123
Pull him back in, and Andre's firing 
him back into the ring.

00:13:30.123 --> 00:13:32.488
SPEAKER: The champion being 
thrown back in

00:13:32.488 --> 00:13:34.824
and Andre underneath 
the bottom rope as well.

00:13:34.824 --> 00:13:35.762
(CROSSTALK)

00:13:35.762 --> 00:13:37.855
SPEAKER: At least we won't get 
a countdown

00:13:37.855 --> 00:13:40.202
we don't wanna see any countdown
I wanna see a winner.

00:13:40.202 --> 00:13:44.434
SPEAKER: Absolutely. 
Andre now with an Irish weapon.

00:13:44.434 --> 00:13:45.849
SPEAKER: He misses the foot.

00:13:45.849 --> 00:13:48.281
SPEAKER: And the Hulk's stepped 
underneath that!

00:13:48.281 --> 00:13:48.919
(LOUD THUD)

00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.728
SPEAKER; Oh! He dropped the big guy!
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:52.728 --> 00:13:56.038
Look at Heenan, he's been out of shape.
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:56.038 --> 00:13:57.991
SPEAKER: That's the first time I think
that the Giant's

00:13:57.991 --> 00:13:59.986

(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:13:59.986 --> 00:14:02.906

on the face of the champion.

(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:14:06.035 --> 00:14:07.970
He's hulking up Jess.

00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:10.526
SPEAKER: I don't know if he's got 
enough left in him.

00:14:10.526 --> 00:14:13.877
SPEAKER: Well adrenaline can do wonders!
(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

00:14:13.877 --> 00:14:18.067
We're seeing what this guy 
is really made of, what he is.

00:14:18.067 --> 00:14:20.913
The greatest professional athlete 
in the world today.

I'm the man who tells it like it is,
I'll give credit where credit's due.

00:15:37.884 --> 00:15:41.322

SPEAKER: Wow. I mean that's 525 pounds
and that's not dead barbell weight.

00:16:11.982 --> 00:16:17.724
That's 525 pounds of living flesh
that he picked up and slammed.

SPEAKER: There go the losers,
look at Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.

has won the hearts of everyone
including you.

00:16:29.827 --> 00:16:32.863

The Brain thought he had it Gorilla

SPEAKER: The Brain obviously despondent.

00:16:38.275 --> 00:16:42.014

and wishes come true
and let's look at this.

00:16:45.775 --> 00:16:48.689

thanking, as he usually does, 
the man upstairs.

will have to be against Bob Uecker.

00:17:59.176 --> 00:18:03.405
SPEAKER: I'll tell you something. 
They're all on their feet Jess.

00:18:03.405 --> 00:18:08.017
They've been on their feet for most 
of the afternoon and evening here

00:18:08.017 --> 00:18:10.080
and this just culminates it all.

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:13.855
SPEAKER: I'll tell you Gorilla, 
there were 93,173 here

00:18:13.855 --> 00:18:16.984

80,000 of them here.

00:18:17.203 --> 00:18:19.245
SPEAKER: Oh, at least.

00:18:19.245 --> 00:18:20.678

Andre the giant and body slammed him.

93,000 people screaming their heads off
