The Sheik Tugboat Story - PART 4
PART 4 - ROYAL RUMBLE 1991
Later on in the night
The Hulkster stood next to
The true Immortal
Sean Mooney
And instantly started spouting his 4 Demandments
The training
The vitamins
The prayers
Believing in oneself
Dedicated the Rumble match
To his #1 Hulkamaniac
Mean Gene
Laid up at home
Broken
Bruised
Beaten
He also did the selfless act
Dedicated the Rumble to the troops
The US Military
For their service
Pride
American heart
In the Persian Gulf
AND THEN
Looking dead eye into the camera lens
Serious
Lazer focused
“Tugboat brother
The truth will come out
And you will see
That when you betray Hulkamania
Revenge will be dished, brother
The war has just begun
And you SHEIK Tugboat
Might be WWF champion
But I will make sure
It isn’t for long
And whatcha gonna do
When HULKAMANIA
AND AMERICA
RUNS WILD ON YOU
BROTHER!”
The snarls
The growls
End the interview

Six minutes later
The Final Four
Hulkster
Earthquake
SABA F’N SIMBA
Sgt. Slaughter
Who entered #30
It breaks down quick
Simba misses a clothesline
Quake scoops him out
Like yesterday’s newspaper
Down to three
Instantly
The Quake and the Sarge
Double team Hulk
Pummel him
Abuse him
Wreck him
Sarge hooks him in the clutch
Noogiemania running wild
Hulkster flat on his back
The Quake then hits the ropes
Runs back
7.6 on the Richter Scale
All of a sudden
SUPERMAN
Hulkster fires up
Bumps the Sarge
Gets the Natural Disaster
One punch
Two punches
Three punches
BIG BOOT
Axe bomber
Out goes Earthquake
Slaughter cowers in the corner
One punch
Two punches
Three punches
A point to the crowd
Everyone on their feet
HARD IRISH WHIP
Sternum first
Slaughter hit SO HARD
Bounced up
And OVER
HOGAN WINS
The winner of the Rumble
Back-to-back years
Crowd erupts
HOGAN MUST POSE
America gets a W
But on the top of the entrance way
Right in front of the big
WWF logo
Stands the new WWF champion
SHEIK TUGBOAT
Championship over shoulder
Arms crossed
Seriousness and anger
Across his face
The Hulkster does not notice
But the Sheik did
Victory for Hulk
Is a loss for him
The road has been paved
A collision course
En Route to a
CROSSROADS
