Quotes 

• Rowdy Roddy Piper : Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome the Heavyweight Champion of the World; Hulk Hogan!

  [Hogan joins Piper and Ventura] 

  Rowdy Roddy Piper : My man is here!

  Hulk Hogan : Wait, what's going on here? Hold on, man.

  [to Andre] 

  Hulk Hogan : What are you doing with him

  [Heenan] 

  Hulk Hogan : ? You guys aren't together? Come on, man! Andre, what are you doing here with Heenan? What's going on-- Andre, listen man; you can't be here with him - don't you know what Heenan's done to me, to these people out here, since you've been gone? It can't be so-- Andre? Listen to me: Day one, man, when I set my eyes on you, brother - you're the reason I got in professional wrestling. You were like a God to me, a role model! You can't be here with him, man! You're the one that took me all the way from nothing to the World's Title! Andre, you can't be with him man.

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : Let me tell you some...

  Hulk Hogan : No no, wait one minute!

  [to Andre] 

  Hulk Hogan : You're the one that taught me, man, 'bout respect for the fans! About helping the kids! You're the one that taught me about good sportsmanship. You set the, the mold for me to follow, man. What are you doing here with him?

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : I'll tell ya what he's doing here with me: He's sick and tired of YOU, and what you stand for! Let me tell you something Hogan, you're the one that, for three years as World Champion, used this man! You're also the vermin that made this man...

  Hulk Hogan : No!

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : I can't tell you what I think about -- You used him: They gave him a trophy, but no that wasn't good enough - it was a littler trophy than yours, but you had to walk out and steal that moment! You're so jealous of this man, you can't stand it! He's-- Hulk, this is the man for fifteen years that is undefeated, but did you ever ONCE...

  Hulk Hogan : No man, you're wrong! You're wrong, you're wrong! The day when I won the world title, he poured champagne over my head, it was like a bond of friendship!

  [see Note 1] 

  Hulk Hogan : You're wrong, Heenan!

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : Did you ever ONCE, once in your life, offer him a championship match? You laughed behind his back!

  Hulk Hogan : No Andre, listen, it's not happening - tell me it's not so, man! Even though you came out here with him, you don't have to leave with him!

  [Hogan grabs Andre, pleading with him] 

  Hulk Hogan : It's not happening!

  Andre the Giant : Take your hands off my shoulders."

  [Hogan does so, shaking his head in a mixture of shock, sadness and disbelief, staring at the floor] 

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : He's got one more thing to say to you, Hogan!

  [Andre lifts Hogan head] 

  Andre the Giant : Look at me when I'm talking to you! I'm here for one reason: To challenge you for the World Championship match at WrestleMania.

  Hulk Hogan : Andre, please, no, it's not happening, man. We're friends. We're friends, Andre, please!

  Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan : You can't believe it? Maybe you'll believe this, Hogan!

  [Andre rips Hogan's vest and gold crucifix necklace, throwing them to the floor, and then leaving with Heenan] 

  Hulk Hogan : Andre... What are you doing, man? You can't leave like this, man! What are you doing, Andre? You can't-- My cross, the shirt!

  [to Piper] 

  Hulk Hogan : What's wrong with him, man? You can't leave like this!

  Rowdy Roddy Piper : You're bleeding.

  Hulk Hogan : It's not how--

  [looking around in shock] 

  Hulk Hogan : Andre, come back, man, you don't have to leave like this...

  [looking at his torn cross, to Piper] 

  Hulk Hogan : What is he doing?

  Rowdy Roddy Piper : No no no. You're bleeding. Easy. Come, come on.
