Scenes with Gorilla Monsoon 64

GGorilla

Look at this!

HE SLAMMED HIM!

GGorilla

[overlapping]: HE SLAMMED THE GIANT!

I DON'T BELIEVE IT! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

GGorilla

Hulk dropping the big leg! Over for the cover! [Hulk pins Andre] IT'S OVER!

HE GOT HIM! UNBELIEVABLE! I never thought it could be done Gorilla!

GGorilla

Neither did these 93,000 plus as the world's heavyweight champion, Hulk Hogan has proven to everyone what he's made of.

What can I say? I never thought it could be done, Gorilla Monsoon.

GGorilla

He's thanking the guy upstairs Jess, as he always does. Let's get the official announcement.

The winner of the bout, and still World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion — Hulk Hogan!!

GGorilla

Listen to the ovation. He is truly a Real American Jess.

What could I say? I'm the man who tells it like it is. I'll give credit where credit is due. I never thought the man could ever defeat Andre the Giant.

GGorilla

Never underestimate the ability of the World's Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan - he proved a lot of guys wrong Jesse.

That he did Gorilla.

GGorilla

You're looking at a tremendous individual. [Andre and Bobby Heenan prepare to leave the arena, but not before Andre threatens Hulk saying "I'll be back"]

That's the first time in 15 years that Andre the Giant had ever been defeated.

GGorilla

Ever been slammed for that matter Jesse.

Wow. And that's 525 lbs. and that's not dead barbell weight, that's 525 pounds of living flesh that he picked up and slammed.

Well, at least the guys that went out first got their per diem money.

GMGorilla Monsoon

Well...

You know what I mean?

GGorilla

Yes, I know.

It's the only way to go.

GGorilla

Please! I'm going to have trouble broadcasting with the Body and Uecker here.

You know what'd be unique that just came to mind to me, Gorilla? Let's say if DiBiase advances here, and let's say Andre beats Hogan, that means that DiBiase and Andre would face each other...correct?

GGorilla

Not necessarily—if DiBiase's victorious here, he has to meet the winner of the Muraco/Bravo match.

Right, but let's just say that DiBiase wins twice, it could end up Andre/DiBiase; what will happen?

GGorilla

Well, money will talk, I think, Jess.

You think Andre'd step aside, or will DiBiase step aside and let Andre go forward, feeling he's the unbeatable man?

GGorilla

Well, it's possible, but he tried that before, and he knows that he can't get the belt without beating the champion.

What was your biggest weight that you wrestled at?

GGorilla

440. Superheavyweight.

440. The heck did you eat when you weighed 440?

GGorilla

Just about everything...

I know, you were on a see-food diet, right? You ate everything you saw.

[On the Twin Towers—Akeem and the Big Bossman]

GMGorilla Monsoon

Biggest tag team in professional wrestling today, bar none.

JVJesse "The Body" Ventura

Well, I won't argue with that unless you've got a double, Gorilla.

[During the match between Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake and Ted DiBiase]

GGorilla

If you make a mistake in this league, it'll cost you the match.

But not the Million Dollar Belt.

GGorilla

No, definitely not, because the guy wouldn't put it up.

Yeah, but you know, you think about it Gorilla, what is Brutus putting up for collateral?

GGorilla

His reputation.

Aw, that's worth about two cents.

[on the Bushwhackers' walk to the ring] Gorilla, I noticed you the other night walking through the casino looking like that.

GGorilla

Me?! Walking through it looking like that?

Walking like that. Why is that?

GGorilla

Was I? Well, sometimes it happens. You know, you get caught...

Were you hittin' the joy juice, Gorilla?

GGorilla

No, absolutely not.

You know what that does to animals.

GGorilla

Yeah, no, I never partake.

Here's two guys that look like they're on the joy juice. Some kind of juice.

GGorilla

I tell you what, in your day, Jess, they would've been tough for anybody because they're so unorthodox.

What do you mean, in my day? When was I around, when Henry Ford built his first car?

GGorilla

No, but you were around when I was still in the squared circle and I've retired.

No, no, no!

GGorilla

You don't think so. I remember it quite well.

Look at this, they got poor Jimmy's coat, and these guys'd probably eat it. They probably didn't get enough to eat at brunch.

You got to give Mr. Fuji credit. He ran that 5K run in a tux too.

GGorilla

Boy, has he got you to be a believer! He wasn't even sweating in the end! He obviously got onto one of those pushcarts on the boardwalk and had someone push him around for 2 3/4 miles.

I can't believe the jealousy in you Monsoon. Fuji's out there training while you're throwing dice.

Ladies and gentleman, as a very special attraction of WrestleMania V, it is now time for Piper's Pit!

GGorilla

Oh, I'm gonna like this.

Without any further ado, let me introduce to you a man who needs no introduction. A man who hosts his very own talk show named after him. A man who thru thick and thin has never backed down from anyone. A man who pulls no punches and does things his way. A man who when you say 'Rowdy', there's only one....Ladies and gentlemen...

[Rowdy Roddy Piper's theme hits]

GGorilla

Oh there's the bagpipes.

Well, it's been a long time since we've seen the Rowdy one Gorilla.

GGorilla

I can't wait to get a look at him. {The curtain rises, but instead of Rowdy Roddy Piper, Brother Love appears. Wait a minute!

Ha ha!

GGorilla

That's not Piper.

That's Brother Love.

GGorilla

What's he doing with a kilt on? Come on.

Boy Gorilla, did you get taken for a ride on that one?

GGorilla

What is this, some kind of a joke or what?

Fooled you. Fooled Howard Finkel. Fooled everybody.

GGorilla

Take a look at those legs. Are we saying at this particular time that the Rowdy one is not gonna make an appearance?

I don't know. But he got scared of Brother Love.

GGorilla

I doubt that very much.

Well, where would Brother Love get that kilt from?

GGorilla

The same place he gets all those rings from.

Piper may be laying in the back beaten up by Brother Love.

GGorilla

Highly unlikely.

And on top of that, with no pants.

GGorilla

Aw please.

Or I should say no skirt.

GGorilla

I'm sure we'll find out very shortly what's going on obviously a change in the order of events as to who is supposed to come out first.

Apparently, it's no longer gonna be a pit. It's gonna be the Brother Love Show.

[Howard Finkel introduces Brother Love to the audience]

I...love...you...

He's talking to you Gorilla.

GGorilla

Yeah, well the feeling isn't mutual.

And welcome to the Brother Love show. And as my special guest, I have a very special guest. His name is Brother Rodney....Piper. [Brother Love sits down on one of the stools and continues] Brother Rodney, welcome to the Brother Love show. [Brother Love takes off his glasses, gets up and sits in the stool seated right next to him.]

GGorilla

He's not playing with a full deck.

Look.

[impersonating Rowdy Roddy Piper] Oh gosh Brother Love. You know, I gotta tell ya, it's a pleasure to be on your show. I watch ya every single week. Your on TV. Ya know, I love your show. I love it when ya say I love you just as much as you say you love me. I love it. I'm in awe.

Hey, not bad.

I'm gonna ask you one more time, please don't blow the smoke in my face. I'm talking to a guy, this is the guy here that said...[Morton takes a puff and blows it out towards the audience] Thank you very much, that's mighty white of you. This is the guy here... [Morton takes another puff, and immediately turns and blows in Piper's face] You know, that's, like, the fourth time you've done that, and I'm goin' say this to you again: Don't blow no more smoke in my face. Do you understand that?

Try it. Try it. You'll like it. [Morton slowly blows in Piper's face, who takes it in] You like it? That good? Think about that. That's good. That's good. That's good for you, that's healthy. Look, you could live as long as I have.

You know something? You know, wait a second. I judged you wrong! That's true, that was kind of nice. Gave me that kind of aromas, early goat's flavor in my lungs, made my skin yellow. You know, would you happen to have one of those for me? I'd like to smoke one of them. Would you mind just lighting up one of them puppies, and give it on over to ol' Hot Rod here, would you? Do that for me. [As Morton's back in turned, Piper lifts and replaces a stool, revealing a fire extinguisher, which Piper picks up] Yo, Mr. Downey, give me that smoke, would ya?

[As Morton turns around, Piper blasts the extinguisher in his face, sending him to the ground.]

GGorilla

I think the fire's out, Jess.

[Following the premiere of the trailer of Hulk Hogan's movie No Holds Barred]

GGorilla

No Holds Barred. Holy mackerel! Jesse, I believe the Hulkster's invading your territory.

[outraged] How dare him step into Hollywood, Gorilla Monsoon! Let me tell you something, Hulk Hogan. Hollywood is my domain. But I can see why you're doing it. You're doing it, Hogan, because you're going to lose to the Macho Man! And when you lose to him, you're going to have no job Hulk Hogan! So you're going to have to come out to Hollywood? Try to invade my territory? It ain't big enough for the both of us Hogan! But if you want to come out, I'll give Hogan a job in Hollywood, HE CAN DRIVE MY LIMO!!

GGorilla

Completely bent out of shape, Jesse Ventura. Talking about people infringing on his territory. Merely, the Hulkster's gone out and made a movie, the name of it, No Holds Barred. Boy, we've seen plenty of action so far here in Wrestlemania V. Of course, Demolition retaining their World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championship belts and did it in a really good fashion, putting away Mr. Fuji. [Jesse returns] You're having second thoughts? It was very unprofessional of you, Jess, to just storm out of here like that.

I'm a professional, Monsoon. They're paying me big money to be here. I'll earn it and don't you give me no hard time. I've had enough for now!

C'mon Gorilla, quit playing such favorites out here. Announcing...

GGorilla

If the shoe fits, put it on that's what I say, Jess.

I used to like broadcasting with you. You're getting worse than McMahon.

GGorilla

I am?

GGorilla

[on Sensational Sherri] She's comparing herself to Miss Elizabeth? Give me a break. The two shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

One's a woman, and one's a girl.
