Taz - 30 years in the making - the last time we’ll ever see the Hulkster in a ring again.
Storm - IS THERE ANY BEER DRINKERS IN THIS PLACE TONIGHT!? Ya know, Bobby, I heard a lot of talk that this is supposed to be Hogan’s retirement show - I think we’re on the same page. IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME HE TAKES A BACKSEAT AND LETS THE YOUNG GUYS WHO BUST THEIR ASS TO ENTERTAIN EVERYONE OF YOU FANS! Now Bobby, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat anything - they got us in the semi-main tonight. Hogan, I hope you have fun trying to follow me and Bobby Roode’s match! BECAUSE WE PLAN ON TEARING THIS SON OF A BITCH DOWN IN KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE!
Roode - Well James, since you’re the TN Cowboy…first of all - WELCOME HOME! Secondly, they wouldn’t expect anything less from you and I. I was really taken aback when Angle used his power to book these matches and put Fortune against one another. Fortune isn’t just friends - it’s family. These matches have been physically and mentally exhausting - BUT THAT’S WHAT I NEEDED. I NEEDED THEM TO GIVE ME EVERYTHING THEY HAD. If I was able to beat them on their best, then I knew I would prove to the world and myself that I was ready for Kurt Angle. AND BY GOD, I BEAT THEM AND TONIGHT, I NEED YOU, JAMES, TO DO THE SAME TO ME. BE THE ASS-KICKING SON OF A BITCH THAT THESE PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE. GIVE ME EVERYTHING THAT YOU GOT. I NEED YOU TO HELP ME - GET ME READY FOR KURT ANGLE. James, tonight, I need you to bring me your best. Tonight, it’s you and me one on one. WE’LL TEAR THIS SON OF A BITCH DOWN. BECAUSE OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, YOU’VE BEEN MY PARTNER, BEST FRIEND, AND BROTHER. Ten days from now, I’m going to the main event to face Kurt for the world title. AND THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK ABOUT IS TONIGHT’S MATCH and how important it is to you and me.
Storm - It’s very important to me because when we formed Beer Money, I knew I was shaking the hand of a future world champion. AND I’M PRETTY DAMN SURE, WHILE YOU WERE SHAKING MY HAND, YOU THOUGHT THE SAME DAMN THING. BUT TONIGHT, I’LL PROVE IT TO YOU AND MYSELF. YOU SAID BRING IT! YOU TOLD AJ AND KAZ TO BRING. AND I’M GONNA BRING IT! AND TONIGHT, I MIGHT JUST BE A LITTLE BETTER THAN YOU… I’m not disrespecting you - all the years we been partners, I’ve known you were one of the greatest workers in the game today. You prove it - you’re going to BFG. NOW IT’S TIME FOR THE OLD COWBOY TO SADDLE UP AND DO THE SAME DAMN THING. Tonight, I’m gonna drink my beer and look you in the eye - sorry about your damn luck.
Anderson - I’m out here with my hat in my hand. Not really - it’s on my head, because I have hat head. I’m here to do something I’m not known for doing. I’ve only done it a couple times - apologize. Not to Hogan, Bischoff, or Dixie, but to… the people who actually mean the most to me. Who I turned my freaking back on - MY ASSHOLES! WE GOT A COUPLE ASSHOLES HERE TONIGHT! Now, you may not know this, but I’m not good at playing politics. I’ve watched others kiss ass, say all the right things, and swing from the boss’s nuts, and they got wwwooooop, and I do my own thing and I’ve had to claw my way to everything I’ve gotten. In a moment of weakness, as stated before, I joined Immortal. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!? Hey. I don’t have any regrets. Life is a learning experience, and I learned a lot from that. For instance, Bully Ray is a GIANT DOUCHE BAG!
Ray - SHUT IT! Listen, let’ smake this quick, I wanna head over the stadium and take a piss on the big orange T.
Anderson - Over the past few weeks, months, whateve,r you’ve attacked me with your chain. THAT’S A BIG CHAIN!
Ray - MY CHAIN IS HUGE!
Anderson - You’re not overcompensating for anything, are ya? YOU HIT ME WITH A KENDO STICK. YOU ALWAYS GET THE UPPER HAND RIGHT?
Ray - YUP! I blasted you with a chair, a stick. I’ve immortalized you all over. IN FRONT OF YOUR JACKOFFS!
AndersoN - THEY’RE NOT JACKOFFS! THEY’RE ASSHOLES!
Ray - You’re not getting another match. You could promise anything, YOU’RE GETTING NOTHING!
Anderson - Hang on - BFG is in Philly… I believe that’s where you cut your teeth. You kinda been known for that hardcore smash-mouth style…so….would you deny me a match if I challenged you to a Phillly falls count anywhere FREAKING ANYHWERE MATCH! LET’S SEE YOUR BIG, OVERINFLATED EGO BACK DOWN FROM THAT ONE, PAL!
Bischoff - Starting as a fan of Hulk’s in the ‘80s, then working with him in the ‘90s, to now, having the end of an era. It’s bittersweet.
Kash - YOU WANNA DISRESPECT ME MOTHER

ER!? YOU WANNA CLEAN SOMETHING UP!? CLEAN UP YOUR BLOOD, BITCH!
Taz - Kind of a homecoming for Mickie. Well, we’re not in VA, but it’s the country.
Tenay - Geography major.
Taz - Mickie pie-faced her…in the face…where else would you pie-face someone?
Taz - Great camera work there showing the flexibility of Madison.
Taz - I think Velvet would’ve won if Madison hadn’t injected herself .
Bischoff - SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND TAKE NOTES. I just told the world champion I’d take care of a little administrative detail. JEFF HARDY, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE TO MY RING! NOW JEFF! NOW! Jeff Hardy… Jeff, I have had the honor in the 25 years that I’ve spent in this business, to work with the greats. Like Verne Gagne, Ray Stevens, Wahoo, Nick Bockwinkel, Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle. Men who gave you and me an opportunity, so we could feed our families, and take care of friends in need. So we could lead an amazing lifestyle. I NEVER LET ANYONE DOWN OR DROPPED THE BALL. You on the other hand, have turned dropping the ball into a frigging art form. Guys laid the groundwork for you and God gave you the gift to do just that - YOU WERE AN AMAZING ANTHLETE, ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING STARS I’VE EVER MET, BUT YOU’RE ALSO AN AMAZING SCREWUP. YOU’VE BEEN ASKING PEOPLE TO FORGIVE YOU!? YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU’RE OUTTA CHANCES WITH ME! Angle told you to never come back - I’M TELLING YOU THAT YOU’RE DONE. YOU DROPPED THE BALL FOR THE LAST TIME AT VICTORY ROAD WHEN YOU CAME OUT SO PILLED UP YOU LET ME DOWN, HOGAN DOWN, AND YOU’RE DONE. 12 STEP YOUR WAY OUT OF MY RING!
Hardy - I’m glad you expressed yourself…in front of all these people. And who knows, maybe some of them agree with you. Or maybe they don’t. I just have one thing to say and then I’ll be out of here.
Bischoff - If you wanna say goodbye, feel free. Say goodbye…(Hardy attacks him)
Hardy - SCREW YOU!
Hardy - I came back here to apologize one by one, two by two. I MESSED UP. I MADE A MISTAKE. TAKING THAT SHIT WAS WRONG IF I’M OUTTA HERE, I’M OUTTA HERE UNDER MY TERMS!
Ray - Anderson. SCREW YOU AND SCREW PHILLY. I’M BULLY RAY - I’M FROM NEW YORK CITY!
Storm - I’m happy for Bobby that he gets to go to BFG and beat Angle, AND I’M HAPPY FOR ME, CUZ I GET TO PROVE THAT I’M ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. IT’S ABOUT STORM-ROODE. IT IS WHAT IT IS. He can say it pays to be Roode, but I forgot my wallet - SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!
Roode - Throughout the good and the bad in TNA, and there’s been a lot of bad. Like when we didn’t know if the company would be around the next week.
Taz - NASTY SUPER-DUPER PLEX!
Tenay - THEY SAID THEY’D TEAR THIS S.O.B. DOWN AND THAT’S WHAT THEY’RE DOING!
Hogan - I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN KNOXVILLE, WITHOUT A DOUBT BROTHERS! Ya know…(Hogan chant) When My feet hit the ground and I woke pu, the first thing I realized that today was the final day I’d be in wrestling. Ya know, after the 30+ year run, that was a tough cup of coffee first thing in the morning. BUT YA KNOW WHAT, I CAME HERE, AND FROM THE MOMENT I WALKED THROUGH THE AIRPORT, EVERYBODY IN KNOXVILLE WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS.THE LOVE… I FELT LIKE IT WAS MY FIRST DAY IN THIS BUSINESS. KNOXVILLE, THANKS FOR THAT! Ya know, it’s been so crazy trying to explain that I’ll be back home. I started thinking what’ll I do - I’ve been on the road for so many years, what would I do? Golf? Fish? I GOTTA FIND SOMETHING THAT’LL REPLACE THE LOVE I FEEL IN THESE BUILDINGS, I’M TELLING YA. It got so crazy today, as I was facebookin and on twitter, and they said brother, if you were really retiring cuz I got a 10 hour drive. I said yes! Everyone at home, everyone here, thank you thank you thank you! At the end of the day, there have been generations…(THANK YOU HOGAN chant breaks out) GUYS, THIS COULD GO ON FOR ANOTHER 30 YEARS, BUT HULKAMANIA HAD THE LONGEST RUN OF ANYONE IN THE BUSINESS, AND NOW IT’S TIME TO PUT HULKAMANIA TO REST. THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT. LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN GUYS! (Sting comes out) YOU’RE NOT WELCOME HERE AND YOU WON’T TURN IT INTO A DAMN CLOWN SHOW.
Sting - I’m sorry to bring some rain to this lovely evening. Is there anyone in Knoxville that’s buying this stuff about retirement!?
Hogan - YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER IN THIS BUSINESS AND YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TO LEAVE ME ALONE. I’m retired my brother.
Sting - Hold on - I suppose there’s a chance I’m so jaded that I can’t let you have your just due.
Hogan - Fine…
Sting - But maybe it’s because I know you better than anyone. Maybe it’s true. IT’S ALSO REALLY AMAZING ABOUT ALL THE CAMERAS ON EVERY CORNER, EVERYWHERE, including this building here… It’s amazing there is NOTHING that is sacred anymore. No. I’ve got some compelling footage on you!
Hogan - THE GAMES ARE OVER. If you leave, I’ve got one thing to say and the party’s over.
Sting - I’ll leave after we play the footage. It’s ugly. PLAY IT NOW!
Hogan - YOU’VE CROSSED THE LINE STING! YOU BROKE EVERY DAMN LAW. YOU RUINED THIS BUSINESS. I’M SO SICK OF YOU. YOU WANNA WRESTLE!? NAH! I WON’T WRESTLE, BUT I’LL FIGHT YOU AT BFG, AND IF YOU BEAT ME, I’LL GIVE THE COMPANY BACK TO YOU AND DIXIE!
