I had a manager in 1981, Classy Freddie Blassie.
Yeah, he took your career straight down the toilet.
Why does he keep badmouthing Elizabeth, Jess? Why doesn't he leave her alone?
She deserves it. She ought to be in his corner doing what she— hey, he took her to the top, Gorilla.
He also slapped her all around in the dressing room.
Who the hell was Elizabeth before she got with Macho?!
She was his manager! How do you think he ever got a title shot?!
Not from her!
If the Macho Man successfully defends the title, finally, finally we'll have two champions that I like.
You're referring to Ravishing Rick Rude and the Macho Man?
Absolutely. Those are champions kids can be proud of.
[as Earthquake poses] Reminded me of you in your younger days, Jess.
Now, wait a minute. I had a little more definition than the Earthquake.
Sean Connery was named "Sexiest Man in the World," and he has my hairstyle.
I know that.
You know how I can't miss in Hollywood, Gorilla? I got Paul Newman's eyes, I got Kirk Douglas's chin, and Robert Duvall's haircut. How can I lose?
But what do you have of your own, Jess?
[pause] ...And here comes Brutus.
Well, Tito can knock you out with that flying forearm if you know, Jess.
Yeah, a burrito will do it, too.
Look at this, Sapphire coming around to save— standing right in front of "The Dream."
Nail her, Macho! Jump right off on her!
I can't believe you just said that.
Hey, she wants to play lumberjack, let her carry her end of the log!
[on Hacksaw Jim Duggan] He just pushed the referee.
He did? I didn't see that.
What?
I didn't see it, I was looking...
What were you doing, filling your... Wait a minute...
Gorilla I was getting something to drink!
Jesse Did you stuff your face with a hot dog again?!
No, I didn't have any hot dogs.
You've only had seven!
Bravo taking the upper hand now.
You got mustard all over your lapels.
I do not!
Look at you. You're a mess, Monsoon!
Got him with the boot!
Oh, he nailed him! [Hulk Hogan sets up for the Leg Drop]
Here it is!
He... [Hogan goes for the Leg Drop, but the Ultimate Warrior moves out of the way] Oh, he moved out of the way! [In the moment that Hogan is stunned, the Warrior bounces off the ropes and hits the splash] Look out, the big Splash! [counting along with the referee] One...
Two...
["Three"] He got him!
HE GOT HIM!
Unbelievable!
THE WARRIOR'S WON THE TITLE!
We have a new World Wrestling Federation Champion!
The winner of this bout, and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: the Ultimate Warrior!
[As Finkel says this, a downcast Hogan looks to the heavens and hits his knees in anguish]
This place has gone crazy!
UNBELIEVABLE, MONSOON! What a battle, both ways! Hogan missing the Leg Drop, the Warrior capitalizing on it, and getting the three-count just minuscule seconds before Hogan could kick out!
[Later, Hogan brings the WWF title into the ring]
Look at the hushed silence going over the crowd.
They don't know what the Hulkster's gonna do and neither do I. [Hogan presents the belt to the Warrior] Oh, look at this! Hulk presenting the belt and raised the hand of the Warrior! [The two men embrace in the ring] The Hulkster has just taken one giant step towards immortality!
Well, I gotta say this! At least it wasn't a Mike Tyson-Don King type affair! The man lost it, and he's going out like a true champion, Monsoon!
Unbelievable Hulkster and unbelievable Warrior!
[Hogan walks to the cart to leave the ring area]
I do believe Hulkamania will live forever!
It absolutely will!
[Warrior salutes to Hogan]
What a matchup! Everything we expected and more! We have a new World Wrestling Federation Champion, the Ultimate Warrior!
[Warrior raises the two belts in the air as the pyrotechnics began]
This place has just erupted! Holy mackeral! Warrior enjoying his moment of glory! Hulkster taking it all in! For Jesse "The Body" Ventura, this is the Gorilla saying so long, everybody!
[During the Undertaker/Snuka match]
Another headbutt by the phenom (Jimmy Snuka), slingshot - oh, nice, [Undertaker catches Snuka in mid-air] but look!
Look at the strength of this man!
What a power move by the Undertaker. Never seen Superfly - oh - manhandled like this, look out! [He turns Snuka upside down] Tombstone city! [Undertaker hits the Tombstone Piledriver] NO! [Undertaker folds Snuka's arms and covers him] It's all over, Brain.
I don't believe it. That is "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka! [the referee counts three] That's impressive. RIP!
Here is your winner: The Undertaker!
What an impressive victory here in WrestleMania VII for that man, right there, The Undertaker.
He's not even sweating. Services for Mr. Snuka.
[This was the beginning of the greatest WrestleMania winning streak of all time by the Undertaker]
[referring to Rowdy Roddy Piper, who injured his leg in a motorcycle accident prior to this event] "I've fallen and I can't get up."
Why don't you stop!
[on Kōji Kitao] Kitao needs to make a tag to Tenryu.
I think he should throw in the towel
What towel?
Kitowel.
Kitao is the guy's name.
Same to you.
You'd have trouble with his name if it was Fred.
His name's Fred Kitao? Silly name for a Japanese wrestler, Fred.
It's amazing that Lou Ferrigno can talk with 20 pounds of crackers in his mouth.
Will you stop?!!
[During the Hogan/Sgt. Slaughter match]
Uh-oh. [Slaughter is handed the flag of Iraq.]
What's this?
He's not going to plant that flag on the Hulk, is he? [he drapes it on Hulk Hogan and covers him] Oh no! Come on!
Give me a break here! [The referee counts, but Hogan kicks out at two] It's not over yet!
YES! Come on, Hulk!
He seizes the Iraqi flag!
[Hogan, on his knees, starts ripping up the flag] Hulkster tearing it to pieces. [Seeing Slaughter coming, he stops ripping the flag and begins to Hulk up] Slaughter comes in... oh, look at this!
[talking over Gorilla's last sentence] Uh-oh! Here he comes.
That man made a mistake, putting the flag on Hogan!
Come on, Hulk, get up!
[Hogan rises to his feet and parades around shaking his hair] That adrenaline flowing right now! The Hulkster seeing the crimson red! [Hogan had been cut open earlier in the match.]
AH! [Slaughter pounds him, but it has no effect on Hogan. Instead, Hogan points a finger at Slaughter]
Uh-oh!
That's it.
It could be it.
Here comes the warning.
[As he says this, Hogan blocks Slaughter's right hand and pounds him with three roundhouses. Then he whips Slaughter in and plants the Big Boot] "You're not going to do that to me; you're not going to do that to the United States of America, and the thousands of Hulkamaniacs." Irish whip and the Big Boot!
No! Not here, please!
[Hogan bounces off the ropes and hits the Leg Drop] OH!
Hulkster off with the Leg Drop! The cover... [Hogan covers Slaughter and gets three] He got him!
HE DID IT!
What a comeback!
He did it for the World Wrestling Federation, and for the United States of America!
What a comeback!
Are you happy?
I certainly am! History once again made here at WrestleMania VII - an unprecedented three-time winner of the World Wrestling Federation title.
[speaking over Gorilla] The winner of this bout, and the NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion: Hulk Hogan!
Undoubtedly, the most memorable night in Pay-Per-View history, and you are part of it. WHOA!
What a thrill to see this, Gorilla! Never seen anything like it. A great comeback! Fans are going crazy.
The gold once again around the waist of that incredible individual!
