Live inside the Superdome, Hulk Hogan's music played to bring out the WrestleMania guest host. Hogan made his way down to the ring as WWE showed audience members singing and bobbing their heads to Hogan's "Real Americans" theme. On commentary, Cole claimed attendance of over 75,000. He said it's all come full-circle for Hogan.
In the ring, Hogan said he's glad to be back at the Silverdome (boos) and on WWF - WWE Network. Hogan re-directed back to saying he's glad to be in New Orleans at the Superdome. He said he's glad to back in the Silverdome a second time. The crowd tongue-in-cheek chanted, "You f----ed up." Hogan laughed, smiled, and said "Superdome" to a pop.
Hogan was suddenly interrupted by broken glass to bring out "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin marched down to the ring sporting a Broken Skull Ranch t-shirt. Austin posed in all four corners, then walked right up to Hogan. Austin popped the crowd saying it's great to be back here in the Silverdome, which popped Hogan.
Austin continued by asking the crowd if they want him to open up a can of whoop ass on Hulk Hogan. He said that's what he thought, then flashed back to the Hall of Fame last night. Austin went through WM1, WM2 (what?), all the way to WM10. "You get the picture," he said. Austin said they've been very protective of their legacies during their career. He said he's got nothing but respect for Hogan and appreciates what he's done for this business.
Hogan asked the crowd to give Stone Cold a "hell yeah," then Austin said tonight is about the WWE stars coming out here and busting their asses like what he and Hogan did. Austin said tonight is for the current regime to come out here and put everything they got on the line.
Suddenly, The Rock's music played. Rock came out dressed in jeans and a cut-off t-shirt looking skinny. Rock bounced up and down on the stage, then marched down to the ring to join Hogan and Austin in the ring. Rock greeted his mom at ringside as the announcers described this as Mt. Rushmore coming together.
In the ring, Rock said it feels good to be back in New Orleans ... and the Superdome. He smiled toward Hogan, who turned his back to laugh. Rock hyped Hogan and Austin's career and referenced Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect to boos, then the Yes! Movement to cheers. Rock then rhymed about so many wrestling fans being born nine months after WrestleMania because everyone is inspired to go home and start making Rock Babies. He told everyone to just wait until January. Rock said it's boots to asses time... if you smell what The Rock is cooking.
Austin added: "And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so." Hogan closed: "So, whatcha gonna do, brothers, when The Rock, Stone Cold, Hogan, WrestleMania, and ... the Superdome (big pop) run wild on you?" Hogan with the ultimate babyface comeback. Austin called for beers and the trio shared a round in the ring as JBL said his career is complete. Hogan's music played, then Austin's to close the segment. That was a huge opening
