Cause I sure as hell can and tonight, I go face to face, head to head, eye to eye, with Sting! Well the thing is, I got a lot of respect for Sting.

So Sting, I hope you're ready, brother, because the Hulkster is pumped, I've said my prayers, I've eaten my vitamins and when I go out there tonight and 65,000 Hulkamaniacs are blowing the roof off the Alamodome, all I have to say is, what ya gonna do, Sting?! Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania and Alamodome run wild on you?!" exclaimed Hulk.
