Icon vs Icon Re-Match
The Rock vs Hulk Hogan
|
|
|
(It was the rematch everyone wanted. The Rock was able to defeat the immortal Hulk Hogan once, would he be able to do the same twice? The Rock’s music hit and the People’s Champ headed to
the ring. Unlike the match up at Wrestlemania last year, it was obvious that this crowd was solely behind Rocky)
|
|
(The Rock did the four corner salute before grabbing a mic)
Rock: Finally, the Rock has come back . . . to Houston.
(huge crowd pop)
Rock:
Hulk Hogan, The Rock, facing off one more time. Oh but how the times have changed. Hogan used to ask his maniacs to say their prayers and take their vitamins. But fast forward 20 years and the only thing Hogan is praying for is more hair and the only pill he’s taking now is . . . Viagra.
(Crowd goes nuts and starts chanting Rocky Rocky Rocky)
Rock:
So the Rock says this. Hogan, grab your walker and get in the ring so I can take that sum bitch, turn it up sideways and shove it straight up your Thunder in Paradise. IF YA SMELLLLL . . .
|
|
|
|
(But before The Rock could continue, Hogan’s music hit an obviously pissed off Hogan headed to the ring)
JR: This one looks to be historic King.
|
|
(The two Icons then stared at each other in the ring. After what had happened in the match-up between DX and the nWo, if Hogan was going to win this one, he’d have to do it himself.
Rocky chants continued as the two exchanged taunts . . . I mean looks)
|
|
|
|
(The Rock was the first to attack, landing a devastating DDT sending the crowd to their feet)
(Behind the Scenes: Remember when the DDT and the elbow off the top rope were the most brutal moves of all time. Heehee. Jake The Snake Roberts
ruled. Well, before he became a crack addict)
|
|
(Hogan then began to battle back)
|
|
|
|
JR: These two are giving it all they got.
Bishoff: Oh just wait. The Scorpion King is about to get stung.
King: Wow, did you take commentary lessons from Michael Cole and Tazz?
|
|
(The action spilled out of the ring, but both men seemed almost unstoppable)
|
|
|
|
(Hogan began to go old school landing the 10 punch count)
|
|
(But this time it was The Rock that seemed to Hulk up. The crowd went wild as Rocky mimic his former idol by hulking up and starting his attack on Hogan).
JR: Hogan is down! Hogan is down! And now the people’s champ is going for the people’s elbow.
|
|
|
|
(The Rock began to perform his patented finishing move . . . when the strange alliance of DX and the nWo made their way to the ramp. Triple H looked at the camera and mouthed four infamous
letters . . . )
Triple H: K . . .L . . . I . . . Q
(The deadly foursome just stared at the Rock and Hogan and just as quickly as they made their entrance in the arena, they exited)
JR: What the hell is that all about?
KLIQ (pronounced Click for those who don’t know the backstory)
|
|
(Hogan used the extra time to his advantage. The Rock was focused on the KLIQ at the ramp and didn’t see Hogan rising to his feet. As Rocky turned around, Hogan went even more old school by
pulling a foreign object out of his pants while the ref wasn’t looking and then hitting the Rock in the head)
Bishoff: Shades of Ric Flair!
|
|
|
|
Bishoff: Now who’s Hulking up JR?
JR: Damnit, damnit, damnit
(Hogan did his famous boot to the face and the most brutal move in the history of the business . . .the leg drop!)
|
|
(The crowd could only watch as the immortal one defeated the People’s champ)
Bishoff: Hogan won!! HOGAN WON! What do you think about your actor now JR?
JR: The Rock had it won damnit, and then Hogan pulled those brass nucks or whatever out of his trucks. This just sucks.
Bishoff: What are you talking about? Hogan won this match fair and square.
King: Yeah right and ex-wife didn’t have implants.
|
|
|
(Hogan posed for the crowd for a moment, but The Rock got back to his feet and Rock Bottomed Hogan).
JR: Oh hell yeah.
(The crowd chanted Rocky as the great one exited the ring)
