(motions with his body like he's absorbing the fan's energy.)

Last week, after years of absense, and a sporadic career... I stood face to face with the man I at one time looked upon as my mentor. It's common knowledge that if you want to excel in any field, you study the masters, emulate the champions, model the virtues of the preeminent individuals in that particular field. You Hogan, were the model of champions, the master of everything I tried to emulate

Yet last week when I looked through your eyes into your soul, I saw little or none of the virtues I remember or anybody here remembers.

And if there are any, they lay shrouded beneath layers of deceit and infamy. Frankly Hogan, how your present condition manifested itself isn't the material that needs to be analyzed, and brought to closure on the World's number one wrestling program.

Bottom line is, you sold out to mediocrity, and when that became difficult, you sold out to mindless self pity. You traded being one in a million for becoming one of the millions.

(Long pause, Warrior looks around at the crowd, raising his arms once in his pose)

I hear you!! Patience Warriors, patience is a great virtue. You Hogan, miscalculated. For you never assumed someone would come forward that knows the difference between a rebellion and a revolution, and that Hogan, will become your gravest mistake!! For tonight Hogan, everything that you revere is now from this moment forth threatened. Tonight Hogan, your entire world is going to turn completely upside down, for tonight, for tonight Hogan, (climbs to turnbuckle) I launch, unleash, the power of the Warriors, I let loose the O.W.N revolution, the One Warrior Nation revolution.

A hero, a one time hero, with an unlimited, yet undisciplined mind, is a dangerous thing. I intend, the Warrior's intend, to eradicate that danger. You Hogan, will be destroyed! I intend... I intend to show the World, that a revolution is built on better ideas, not belligerant idiocy!! I intend to show the world a revolution is based on magnificnence, I intend to show that a revolution is based on courage, not cowardice. And that Hogan, is all that you need to know. Next week Hogan. The revolution continues. Same Warrior time, Same Warrior place, Same Warrior channel.
