PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogan (ranked 3944 p4p, 153 weight class) and Jeff Messer (ranked 3502 p4p, 139 weight class). Hogan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Real American. Messer has chosen Lumberjacks march-by Conway Twittie as his entrance music. Hulk Hogan has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
