KOTR Finals: Typhoon vs. Mr. Hughes (w/Harvey Wippleman)

Winner and NEW King of the Ring: Typhoon



Typhoon makes his way to the stage for the coronation ceremony. Mean Gene Okerlund puts the crown and cape on Typhoon, and reads "Ladies and Gentleman, I proclaim ye' Typhoon, the King of the Ring!!!" Waving to the fans and smiling, Typhoon says that he'll be a king the fans will be proud of. But then Jerry "The King" Lawler comes out to confront Typhoon.



Lawler: I want all you idiots to shut up and listen to what I have to say!!! I want to confront this impostor king and tell him there's only one King of the Ring and you're looking at him.

Typhoon: Why don't you shut your face before I shut it for you!!! What gives you the right to call yourself the king? You didn't ever bother entering the tournament. You go around calling yourself the king, yet you weren't born into royalty!!! I'm the King of the Ring because I earned it!!! I beat three men in one night to earn this!!!

Lawler: Oh, whatever!!! I'll tell you what i'm going to do. If you tell all these chickencrap ing **** bungholes who the real king is, I'll consider letting you be a prince.

Jim Ross: We apologize for the language by Lawler.

Typhoon: Alright, you're the king. (Lawler smiles) The Burger King!!! (Typhoon laughs) Burger King!!!, Burger King!!!, Burger King!!!, Burger King!!! (fans join in)

Lawler attacks Typhoon with scepter hitting him over and over, he then hits him with the throne. The fans are appalled until Typhoon's partner Earthquake comes to his aid, and Lawler runs to the back. Officials and referees check on Typhoon as his moment is ruined.


Bret Hart with Mean Gene:




Gene: Bret Hart we are moments away from the match we thought would never happen. You will defend your World Wrestling Federation Championship against the Immortal Hulk Hogan.


Bret: You know Gene, I thought this match would never happen also. Two of the biggest stars in history going at it for the first time ever, and you're right it is a dream match, the Excellence of Execution vs the Immortal One, the pink and black of the Hitman vs the red and yellow of Hulkamania. Also, no matter who wins or loses, the real winners are the fans.


Gene: Good luck Bret, back you at ringside.


Bret "the Hitman" Hart (c) vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship




Bret and Hulk have a stare down, Bret removes his jacket and sunglasses and Hogan tears off his shirt. After giving his sunglasses to a young fan the bell rings, the dream match is underway. JR says this is a match we thought we never see. Hogan lands several blows on Bret. But Bret counters delivering some of his own. Hogan whips Bret to the corner, Bret starts firing back, but is met with a elbow. Hogan suplexes Bret and Bret rolls on to the outside.



Bret is back in as Hogan whips him, but Bret reverses and rams him to the post. The referee starts the ten count, Randy shouts at Bret to get up. Bret makes it back in just when the ref is almost about to count to ten. Hogan goes for the bearhug, but Bret reverses it for a sleeperhold. Both men fall to the mat, the referee begins to count, but both make it up at the count of nine. "What a match!!!" shouts Savage, Hogan lands lefts and rights which sends Bret down. Hogan goes for his leg drop and and lands it, but Bret kicks out at two. Hogan couldn't believe what just happened and neither could the fans. Bret Hart became the first person ever to kick out of Hogan's legdrop. Heenan shouts "No one's ever gotten up from that move!!!"


Bret struggles to get on his feet, but while trying to recover. Ted DiBiase makes his way out to ring and nails him with a left hand. DiBiase tells Hogan to go for the pin. But Hogan whips DiBiase to the ropes, sending him flying to the outside. Hogan didn't want to win that way. Then IRS comes out and nails Hogan with a briefcase and tells Bret goes for the sharpshooter, but Hart knocks him out cold with an elbow telling him he didn't want to win that way. Both men on their feet go for a clothesline, Bret ducks, then Hogan, then both take each other out. The referee counts both men down, Savage tells both to get up. But it's too late, as the referee calls for the bell. The match ends in a draw.


Winner: Draw

Both men get up and shake hands then hug. The fans in the USAir Arena along with Jim Ross and Randy Savage give both competitors a well deserved standing ovation as the PPV goes off the air.
