Now all these little keyboard warriors out there, all these so-called ‘historians’ say it didn’t happen, they say the Hulkster’s got his bandana wound a little too tight. BUT I WAS THERE, BROTHER. Back in 1986 I think it was ‘86, maybe ‘85 and a half I got a special call, brother. It was President Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev on a three-way call, jack!
Gorbachev says to me he says, 'Hogan, we cannot allow Nikolai Volkoff to be defeated on American soil, it will be an international incident!' And I said, 'Listen here, Gorbachev, if you even THINK Volkoff’s gonna walk into the Stars & Stripes SlamJam on July 4th and disrespect the United States of AMERICA, you got another thing comin’, dude! Then I tore my shirt off through the phone, brother. He heard the ripping. He FELT IT in the Kremlin. And that’s when he knew Hulkamania wasn’t just runnin’ wild it was invading soviet airspace!
So I got in the ring at the LibertyDome and I said, ‘This one’s for every little Hulkster out there who ever believed in truth, freedom, and unlimited continues!’ And then I leg dropped that Russkie son of a bitch back into the IRON CURTAIN, brother! So the next time someone says that story ain't real, you ask 'em this,why did Gorbachev’s birthmark start fading right after that match, brother?! It's cuz the Hulkster gave his ass a star-spangled beating, jack! And that's the truth!
