WrestleMania quotes

Someday, sometime, he's gonna have to showdown with me.

If you win, I'll go out with you.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the magnificent Silverdome! And welcome to Wrestlemania III! And now here to sing America The Beautiful - the Queen of Soul - Ms. Aretha Franklin!!!

Little Beaver reminds me of a girl I went with about 25 years ago. She had the same haircut.

Hey! You see what, hey!

What happened there?

Little Beaver just gave Bundy a shot in the boiler.

It's Moolah! She's here! No wonder you guys are here all the time! The moon is full and so am I! I gotta get with Moolah! I'm leavin', see you guys later!

Look at that, Jess. This is unfair, the outside help to get your man back on his feet.

You're calling that help? He threw him right into the JYD.

What's a manager for, Monsoon?

A manager's to give advice, not to physically get involved.

You're starting to irritate me a little.

Heavyweight champion of the world in the locker room just one hour away from his moment of destiny.

Well you know they said it was my last ride man! Yesterday when I finished hanging and banging. When I jumped on the Harley man. As I went thru the intersection. As I headed for the mountains, some of the nonbelievers in the gym said, "See ya later Hulkster, man! This is your last ride." It ate me alive brothers. When I felt the fury as I ripped, as I tore this shirt, as I headed for the sunset man, I looked down brothers, and as the sun beamed off the gold in my eyes, I realized that sooner or later, you gotta live and die and you gotta face the truth. And for you, Andre the Giant, it's time to face the truth brother. Because when I think about what you and I have to do man. What I have to do is nothing. All I have to do is merely beat a seven foot four 550 pound giant. But Andre, you've gotta face the truth brother. In its purest form man. The purest truth there is man. The training, saying your prayers, eating the vitamins. And to beat me man, You've got to beat every little Hulkamaniac, every little Hulkster in the world. Everyone that plays it straight. All the ones that don't take any shortcuts brother. And they usually say "If the dirty air don't get you, the politicians will." But in this case. It's going to be Hulkamania. And the reason it's going to get you man, it's the purest form of the truth there is. And I can't wait to see you go down at the feet of Hulkamania in front of 90,000 plus in the Silverdome. What you gonna do Andre The Giant when the real truth, the 24 inch pythons and Hulkamania runs wild on you?

The weasel has just snuck into the broadcast booth. What are you doing here, Heenan?

Welcome to Wrestlemania III.

Thank you Jesse. First of all, I'll speak at any place. I am two for two, Monsoon! Two for two! Billy Jerk did not beat my man! As far as I'm concerned...

Well, your man didn't win either.

Just a minute, I'm talking 'cause I'm on a roll here! What happened was he knew he couldn't beat Hercules, so he kept him outside; as far as the Brain's concerned, that's a victory, we win that one! The King—you saw him in the chair, he left with the crown; the miserable Junkyard Dog, he bowed, he curtsied, he did everything we said he'd do! I am on a roll, I am 2-0

Bobby, I'd just like to say—and I went on the record with this—I thought that was the biggest cheap shot I'd ever seen, when the JYD hit the King Harley Race with that chair.

Let me clear something up here a minute, Brain. You're one-for-three in my book—you didn't win the Hernandez match, King Kong Bundy lost.

I wasn't out there for that match.

I don't care, he was still one of your men.

I don't care about midgets. I don't even deal with midgets. I don't like midgets. Forget that match. Talk about my career! What I am doing. I'm making history here at Pontiac Silverdome. 2-0!

I suppose you call that fair, Brain.

A win's a win. When you're at WrestleMania, you take what you can get. It's not easy. They got a win. I got two wins and I'm going to have three wins today!

Look at this. Look at these three beauties, they left Bruti inside..

The winners of this contest: The Dream Team, Brutus Beefcake and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine!

Well, Beefcake isn't celebrating the victory is he?

Am I on a roll or am I on a roll?

What's the matter with that idiot Beefcake? They got the win. What's he arguing about?

I don't know. A lot of dissension among the ranks of the Dream Team for sure.

Hey, they're leaving Beefcake!

Look at this! They're leaving Bruti behind.

They're leaving him! I can't believe this. What's the matter with Beefcake? What's the matter with him? He gets the winner's money!

What's the matter with Johnny V and the rest of his crew? Why are they leaving this guy behind?

I can't believe this. I can't believe Beefcake. He wins the match.

There they go. Special match upcoming. The adorable one, Adrian Adonis and Rowdy Roddy Piper. A lot of interesting things led up to this one.

How am I doing, Monsoon? Huh? How am I doing?

Horrible.

Ladies and gentlemen, at this time I would like to introduce to you a man who allegedly tells it like it is—Jesse "The Body" Ventura!

Hey, what are you talkin' about, "allegedly" tells it like it is. I am the man who tells it like it is!

Can we just clear one thing up? It's very important for everybody to understand that Jimmy and I are not related. At one time, I might have wanted to claim that, but since he has Danny on his team, and Danny is not exactly...I just wanna let everybody know that as much as I'd like to be rooting for The Hart Foundation, I just can't under the circumstances.

We're going to have to rename Dynamite, Firecracker if he doesn't shape up now.

With me at this time, manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and I'm privileged to be standing next to the most extraordinary athlete of all time. He is not elected until this date to challenge Hulk Hogan for the Heavyweight Championship, and this afternoon at WrestleMania III, Bobby Heenan, your man, André the Giant will be doing just that.

You bet he's going to be doing just that. He's going to become the heavyweight champion of the world and I'll tell you why. First of all, the man is undefeated in over 15 years as a professional athlete. Hulk Hogan has never been in the ring or met a man bigger than him, stronger than him, taller than him, that weighs more than him, and with a burning will inside more than Andre the Giant. You see Hogan, few short hours from now that clock is ticking, and it's ticking in our direction, not yours. Hulkamania is over. Hulkamania is dead. The doors going to be shut on the history books on Hulk Hogan once and for all. There is a new Heavyweight Champion of the world. The odds on favorite in Las Vegas and all over the whole wrestling world, they're picking Andre the Giant. Nobody can defeat this man. Nobody even can come close to defeating this man. And Hogan, I know it's happening to you now because it's happening to me. The butterflies are in my stomach. The adrenaline's flowing thru my veins and I'm getting ready, 'cause I'm gonna manage the Heavyweight Champion of the world. And Hogan, hey you've had three good years. You've got nothing to look back on. But it's all over. Andre the Giant, the new heavyweight champion of the world.

The biggest Heavyweight Title bout of all time. Andre the Giant to meet Hulk Hogan.

Jess, I wanna go on record of saying you were one of the guys—you and the weasel-breath Bobby "The Brain" Heenan—who said that this guy would never step back in the ring.

Well, I'll go on the record, he surprised me. You know, they said he's got a lot of heart; but I personally say he's got a lot of throat, because it wasn't the heart that got hurt.

What's Dave Hebner doing? He should be counting Steamboat right here.

He's reprimanding the champion.

[As George Steele is helping Steamboat back in the ring] Yeah, but he's giving Steamboat a chance to recover and he's letting Animal Steele out there. Now look at, you talked earlier on about how managers should not be touching people and helping people–look what's going on out there.

He's not a manager, he's a friend.

Oh that's different then. He should've been counted out by Dave Hebner, the referee. I've already counted to 20.
