He told everyone is ready. AJ says Roode is the next world champion. AJ says when Roode beats Kurt, he wants a shot. They hug.
The camera shows the stage as Hulk Hogan's music starts. Hogan comes on stage and the entire crowd boos. He stands there and looks around. He walks down the ramp and gets in the ring. He begins to talk. He says it feels like a million pounds has lifted off his shoulders. While he was soul searching for the past couple of months, he realized that the Hulk Hogan run has been one of the best runs of all-time. Hogan says he, the guys, and the fans go back for three decades.
The first time he was in the ring, he was taught respect. He was fortunate that he wrestled Andre The Giant. He talks about the past and all of the Madison Square Garden sell-outs. As he is talking, Sting is shown on camera as he is watching and listening to Hogan on a television monitor. Hogan then states that he had the opportunity to come to TNA. He brings three decades to this company. He names a few young stars that were younger. Younger stars like Roode, Styles, Daniels, and more. Hogan gave information to everyone to help them out. Sting is shown again as he says Hogan is acting…..it is all acting and he should get a reward. Hogan goes on to state that he knows when enough is enough. He says it is the end of the road for him.
Hogan says he didn't even tell his wife yet. He tells the fans before her. While his family separated and he had financial issues….he had the fans behind him. He had the fans and then he came to work and the guys were there for him. Hogan says he is finally finished as there are stars of the future like Storm, Kazarian and more. Hogan says next week will be his last week in the ring as he wants to invite everyone for his final, formal announcement. Sting is shown as he states Hogan wants to invite people, then Sting will be there. Sting says he will be right there, in the middle of the ring, with Hogan. It's going to be showtime! The show fades.
