The show begins with Hulk Hogan and Abyss driving up in a golden hummer. I wonder if it’s the same hummer that ran over Nash ages ago, but painted gold. Apparently, there’s a clip on Youtube about a gold boat somewhere that this may have gotten inspired by. I wouldn’t know. Oh, and also in the hummer were Jeff Hardy and new signee Rob Van Dam, last seen getting beat up by Sting after a fluke win.
