PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Real American. Kelly has chosen Black Belt Jones Theme Song, you Jive Turkey! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
