This may have been the most apt thing in Game 3 of the NHL playoff series between the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins. The game basically turned into one large Royal Rumble. There were plenty of goals, sure, and the Flyers were in control throughout, but the fights came in waves, as well.
Hulk Hogan Video Plays After Penguins, Flyers Brawl
So far during the playoffs, we've seen a player's head smashed into an imaginary turnbuckle in the Red Wings-Predators series, loads of fights in the rest of the matchups, and some hair-pulling in Sunday's game between the Flyers and Penguins. After that hair-pulling incident, with the Flyers well in front on the scoreboard, Hulk Hogan was played over the PA with an accompanying video on the jumbotron. Of course!

Remember, Malkamania -- a fan dressed as Hogan in Pittsburgh -- taunted the Flyers after a brawl earlier in April. Really just a great way to put an exclamation point on an afternoon of fights.
Edit: And here’s the Hogan video, shirt ripping and all.
