---

**Entrances:**

The arena dims, and "Also sprach Zarathustra" fills the air. Ric Flair, adorned in a sequin-covered robe, struts down the ramp. The Nature Boy is in the building, and he knows it. Woo!

Then, the opening riff of "Real American" blasts through the arena. Hulk Hogan emerges, the crowd erupting in a mix of cheers and boos. He's larger than life, and as he tears his shirt off at ringside, he steps into the squared circle, holding up the World Heavyweight Championship one last time before handing it to the referee.

**Match Summary:**

The bell rings. Both men lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, Hogan overpowering Flair into the corner. They break, and Flair comes back with a knife-edge chop that echoes in the arena. Hogan counters with a scoop slam, then follows with an elbow drop.

Flair quickly pokes Hogan in the eyes while the referee is momentarily distracted, gaining the upper hand. He drags Hogan to the corner and executes a series of vicious chops. Hogan's chest is turning red, but just as it seems Flair has the control, Hogan hulks up. He absorbs a chop, points at Flair, and the crowd goes wild.

Hogan lands a series of punches, followed by an Irish whip and a big boot. He goes for his leg drop, but Flair rolls out of the way. Flair seizes this opportunity to drop a knee on Hogan's forehead, then lands a snap suplex. Not wasting a moment, Flair locks in the Figure-Four Leglock. The crowd is buzzing, Hogan is grimacing, but he doesn't tap. Instead, he manages to reverse the pressure, forcing Flair to break the hold.

Both men are exhausted. They're dripping sweat, visibly worn out but not willing to give an inch. Flair attempts a piledriver, but Hogan reverses it into a backdrop. Hogan lands a couple of elbow drops and signals for another big boot. He runs, but Flair pulls the referee in the way. The ref is down!

Seizing the moment, Flair takes out a pair of brass knuckles from his trunks and lands a loaded punch on Hogan. He tosses the knuckles away just as the referee regains consciousness. Flair goes for the cover: 1...2...no! Hogan kicks out, much to Flair’s disbelief.

Feeling the energy of the crowd, Hogan hulks up once more. He no-sells Flair’s desperate chops, points his finger at him and lands a thunderous big boot. But this time, he doesn’t go for the leg drop; he lifts Flair up and nails him with a running powerslam. He goes for the pin, but Flair grabs the bottom rope at the last second.

Suddenly, Flair catches Hogan in a small package out of nowhere: 1...2...3!

In a shocking turn of events, Ric Flair grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and doesn't waste a second. He dashes up the ramp with the title held high, a mixture of a triumphant and relieved expression on his face. He doesn't even look back.

Hogan, meanwhile, sits up, a look of sheer disbelief etched across his face. Jimmy Hart rushes to his side, but Hogan's eyes are glued to Flair's disappearing figure at the top of the ramp. Slowly, disbelief turns to anger, an emotion clearly visible even from a distance.

**Commentary:**

Tony Schiavone: "Folks, we have just witnessed an epic battle for the ages, and Ric Flair... Ric Flair has just high-tailed it out of here with the World Heavyweight Championship!"

Bobby Heenan: "That's why he's the dirtiest player in the game, and now, he's the World Heavyweight Champion! What a night!"

Tony Schiavone: "For all of us here, thank you for witnessing history. Hulk Hogan is beside himself in disbelief and anger, but the story tonight is that Ric Flair is once again the man to beat. Goodnight!"

The last image is of Hogan in the ring, almost shaking with fury, Jimmy Hart attempting to console him but failing. This is a man scorned, and the repercussions could be felt for months. The show goes off the air with that unforgettable image.
