I think what McMahon might have under his sleeve (unless he is going to
do it on Syndies this week of course) is have an interview with the Hulkster
in the center of the ring with Mean Gene Okerlund at Summer Slam '92.
They could hype it as a 'Special Interview' with the Hulkster or something
to that effect.  At Slumber Slam have the interview and have Hogan tell
everyone 'I have been doing a lot of soul searching/etc. And I have had a big
decision to make brother.  I had to consider whether or not I was finished in
my battle for right vs. wrong.  I think the WWF Heavyweight Championship is
safe in the hands of my friend, Randy Savage. He realizes what Hulkamania is
all about and won't ever let me or all the Hulkamaniacs out there down. I 
looked back at my carreer and I gotta tell ya, I had some mixed feelings about
it and I had to sort through those feelings.  After talking to WWF President
Jack Tunney and reading all the letters of support from all my fans-- I have 
come to a decision.  I want children all over the world to follow the four
commandments: {Insert the 4 Commandments here}.  I beleive that it is time
though--to pass that legacy of Hulkamania on.  I don't want to pass it on to
any one individual... but to each and every one of my Hulkamaniacs out there.
I like to think that maybe I made a difference in a few people's lives in my 
years in the WWF.  I want to thank you--the fans--for giving me the courage to
go on in situations that seemed inpossible even to SuperHumans. So I would like
to pass on the torch to the children, they are the ones brother--that will
carry the torch of Hulkamania-a flame that will always burn bright in my
heart."


or if he wanted to stick around...
"Gene I gotta tell ya the truth. When I look back on my carreer in the WWF
I have a lot of fond memories. I remember winning the WWF championship three
times with the support of all my Hulkamaniacs. To say this would be a hard
decision would be taking it lightly. I had to weigh the importance of several
things in my life. I had to consider what would happen to Hulkamania once I
was gone. Would it still thrive brother? Quite honestly I didn't know. I know
that Macho Man has been touched by Hulkamania and he will not forget it. I
know that each and every one of my Hulkamaniacs will not forget the four 
commandments-the prayers, the trainig, the vitamins,{inset fourth one here}.
But I gotta tell ya brother-there is still one question unanswered. Do I have
enough money hoarded away yet to retire?  Nope.  So I'm here and I'm here to
stay!"
