Hulk Hogan, the reigning champion, was determined to prove himself as the greatest of all time. He had been training hard for months, and his feud with Raven and The Giant had only fuelled his desire to dominate the competition.

The win marked a significant moment in Hogan's ECW career, as he solidified his position as one of the top champions in the promotion's history. The stage was set for a thrilling showdown, and ECW fans were eagerly anticipating the outcome.

As the ECW universe looked on, the question on everyone's mind was: what's next for Hulk Hogan? Would he continue to dominate the ECW landscape, or would new challengers emerge to test his mettle? The stage was set for a thrilling conclusion, and ECW fans were eagerly anticipating the outcome.
