The Sheik Tugboat Story - PART 13
PART 13
---
Tonight
Is the night
WrestleMania 7
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Under an ultimate renovation
Like never before
Red
White
Blue
Blasted all across the stadium
A huge wrestling ring
20x20
On a huge platform
Similar to WrestleMania 3
The entrance way
40 yards long
Similar to WrestleMania 3
The World Wrestling Federation
Is in business
The biggest night of the year
Outside the Coliseum
One hundred thousand fans
Under intense security
Heavy police presence
Heavy National Guard presence
Planes flying above
The worry of attack
Protected on the ground
Protected in the air
But fans are ready
To let loose
To cheer
To boo
To have fun
The fans are safe
And the show is about to begin
From the beginning
With the Rockers opening
Against Haku and the Barbarian
The crowd is loud
They cheer with a Shawn Michaels pin
They boo
When the Nasty Boys cheat
To win the WWF Tag Team Titles
They guide
Jake the Snake
Blindfolded
To go and attack
The Model
And erupt
When he nails a DDT
They cry
When the Macho Man loses
His career
To the Ultimate Warrior
And he is saved
By Miss Elizabeth
After a crazed attack
By his former Queen
Which leads to
Embracing and Reuniting
The American crowd
At a fever pitch
And then
SILENCE
When Sean Mooney
Is on the big screen
Outside of the locker room of
The Fearsome Foursome
“I am outside of the dressing area
Of the World Wrestling Federation champion
SHEIK TUGBOAT
As he is mental preparation
For his championship defense
Against the #1 contender
The Immortal
HULK HOGAN
Under DESERT STORM RULES
I know that tensions
Are EXTREMELY HIGH
Backstage
But I am going to attempt
To get a word
From the Iraqi Warship
Before the main event
Of WrestleMania 7
RIGHT NOW.”
The gutsy Mooney
Knocks on the door
The door remains
CLOSED
He knocks again
Seconds feel like hours
Then the door opens
Out walks
SGT. SLAUGHTER??
A furious look
As he stands in the doorway
Blocking full view
Chin fully out
In the open air stadium
BOOOOOOO
BOOOOOOO
Fans jeering hard
Heckling loud
Profanities flying
“LISTEN UP
YOU FLEA INFESTED PUKE THERE WILL BE NO COMMENTS NO WORDS NO STATEMENTS VERBALLY FROM OUR CHAMPION HOWEVER YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SLIME SHEIK TUGBOAT WILL DECIMATE DESTROY AND END HULKAMANIA IN MERE MOMENTS HIS ACTIONS WILL SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS AND IF YOU KNOCK ONE MORE TIME
I WILL DISPOSE OF YOU PHYSICALLY AND THAAAT’S IN ORDER!”
-door slams-
The gutsy Mooney
Now terrified
Scared to death
Looks back at the camera
“You...you heard it here
The actions will speak volumes
The war culminates here
DESERT STORM RULES SUBMIT OR
SURRENDER
For the World Wrestling Federation title
This is personal
This is monumental
Former friends
Now divided
Bitter enemies
Foe vs foe
America vs Iraq
The power of Hulkamania
Versus the man aimed to end it
The Immortal vs the Iraqi Warship
Hulk Hogan vs Sheik Tugboat
IS
UP
NEXT!”
-end-
