Sean Waltman thanked Eric Bischoff, Scott Hall kept his words short and sweet, and Kevin Nash gave props to WWE for giving him momentum pre-nWo during the group's induction speech. Then, true to form, Hulk Hogan started talking about how bags of money had piqued his interest way back in 1996.

It's all about that moolah, brother.

Hulk admitted that he also only wanted in on the New World Order idea because Sting was next in line for the proposed "third man" gig. When Eric Bischoff told Hogan that he thought the faction would be a "money train", Hulk's ears perked up. Who was he to pass up the chance to make even more of the stuff, and why would he let somebody else rake it in instead?

The stylistic differences between Hogan's speech and literally everyone else on stage with him stood out. They talked about grinding and praised others for their foresight. Meanwhile, the Hulkster focused on that cold, hard cash.
