The Sheik Tugboat Story - PART 12
PART 12
---
Later on
Near the end
Prime Time Wrestling
Bobby the Brain
Once again furious
His “banana phone”
To call Miss Betty
Broken
Ranting and raving
Gorilla shakes his head
Utter disdain
Just before the feature match
SPECIAL REPORT
A graphic
Instantly
Quickly
Pops up onto the screen
A hard transition
Back to Sean Mooney
Still in the Control Center
Finger to his ear
Getting news
To his earpiece
Eyes to the camera
Ready to speak
“We received word
That the Hulkster
Got Jack Tunney’s decision
From his representatives
And went to Gold’s Gym
In Venice Beach, CA
To instantly train
En route
To next week
At WrestleMania VII
In the newly announced stipulation
For the World Wrestling Federation championship
Main Event
Under DESERT STORM RULES
However
The Fearsome Foursome
Are apparently in a palace
Owned by Saddam Hussein
IN IRAQ
And have a camera
And satellite available
They have patched in
To our signal
And they have comments
Regarding this matter
From their leader
The World Wrestling Federation champion
SHEIK TUGBOAT.”
STATIC TRANSMISSION
Instantly comes into the scene
An Iraqi flag
On the wall
The Colonel
The General
The Sargent
A horizontal single file
Arms behind their back
Attention straight ahead
Across the screen
Left to right
Walks in the champ
Freshly pressed headdress
WWF Championship over the shoulder
Same old scowl
As he faces
The lens on the camera
“President Jack Tunney
A vile and evil
DICTATOR
Thinks I’m in trouble
Deep deep trouble
What he did do
Was play into my hands
DESERT STORM RULES
SUBMIT
OR
SURRENDER
No count-outs
No disqualifications
WrestleMania 7
A war declaration
Has been issued
America thinks they WANT this
America thinks they NEED that
Well
Iraq is up for
This ultimate challenge
Saddam Hussein
Has prepared the troops
For this war
And WrestleMania
Los Angeles, California
One hundred thousand people
The Memorial Coliseum
Will see a defeat
Like never before
The rise
Of a new reign
Of PAIN
Of POWER
Of DESTRUCTION
But for me
This is more personal
More to my heart
Than just America and Iraq
This is the BEGINNING
Of the END
Of Hulkamania
HOGAN
I used to believe in
HULKAMANIA
The training
The prayers
The vitamins
But you BETRAYED ME
And my path of DESTRUCTION
Is at your feet
But one Demandment
Believing in yourself
I’ve stolen for myself
I believe in me
And because of that
Look at what I have
An army
That has my back
A leader
That supports me
A prisoner of war
That I hold
And cherish more
Then anyone before me
The World Wrestling Federation championship
I believed in ME
Not in anyone else
And now
I intend to
Break your bones
Spill your blood
Destroy your spirit
All at my hands
I’m an IRAQI WARSHIP
And I will make you quit
I will make you submit
I will make you denounce
HULKAMANIA
And at WrestleMania 7
I will make you
UTTER
SPEAK
Say two magical words
TUGBOAT
AKBAR.”
A grimace on his face
As serious as ever before
Sheik Tugboat is ready
Prepared
For war
