Undertaker gets on the mic. I don't know what is wrong with RVD or who he thinks he is. But let me tell you who I am. I am the new WWE Champion. As that Champion I have the right to come down that ramp first and start Monday Night Raw. Now that I am champion there will be some changes around here. When I have something to say I will come down here and say it. If there is somebody in this ring they have two choices - move aside or stay and get their ass kicked. It don't matter to me. RVD, he just got reaquainted by the number one rule of this company, and that is you will respect the Undertaker. Now you need to listen to this. If anyone has a different opinion they need to ask Hulk Hogan what it's like to disrespect the Undertaker. Because I did exactly what I said I would do. This is the story. I said I would beat Hogan and take his title and I did it. I beat the man up and I took his pride. But most of all what I did last night was kill Hulkamania. It is over. Hulkamania, rest in peace. You can yell all you want. he will not come. I have it on good authority, on Thursday night on Smackdown, Hogan will announce his retirement. Hogan, I will expect a thank you for allowing you to walk out of the ring last night and make that announcement. I'm getting tired of saying it and i'm sure you are getting tired of hearing it. You will respect the Undertaker. I don't care if you are a legend like Hogan or some punk like RVD. You cross my path and do not change ditrections, you will pay the consequences.
