The one thing I’ll say is, Hogan is notorious for let’s say “Not being Honest at the best of times.” I would tend to believe what the Rock says much more than Hogan. The Rock and Steve Austin were way over, more than Hogan had been in years and Arguably more than Hogan was in his Prime. Let’s talk about what you did with Shawn Hogan or how you screwed the Undertaker by lying that he hurt you. How about all the guys you buried and how you never really passed the torch and held on to the title for way to long in both companies. How you were still going over on guys like Vader when the crowd was booing you as a face. How you did Randy wrong over and over. How you changed finish’s to protect yourself and how you used your Creative Control card to keep yourself at the top instead of helping build younger wrestlers up. How you brought all your buddies in to WCW to take care of them over guys like Sting and Vader.

This was the best match I ever watched! It was an amazing match. They way the crowd shifted and Hogan became a face and Rock was a heel it was amazing.
Probably the best match I ever watched. It was crazy how the crowd literally brought back Hulkamania!!
Literally watched it 50 times back in the day.
Glad to hear these two share
Hogan vs the ultimate warrior was a classic one don’t forget!!
Best Hart vs Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 13 was my pick as best match ever.
Austin 316. Was the biggest missed match hogan vs stone cold 🥶 would of did wonders
I think Rock was a much better pick for Hogan
This is the power of hulkamania. 2002 I was 26 year old NYPD cop. The day of WM 18 I was working at ground zero. I had a particularly bad day. Saw ALOT of awful things that day. Where we were digging we came across ALOT of remains. Of victims. So after my tour was over. I went home and watched WM mostly for this match. For the 25 minutes this match was on. I was 12 years old again. And put the awful things I saw that day out of. My mind . that is the power and greatness of the character hulk hogan created. Thank you hulk.
b40 b40 not all hero’s wear capes brother stays strong
b40 b40 thanks for your service on that terrible day!
b40 b40 you have to also give credit to The Rock for making the match that much more special. Hulk couldn’t have had that match with anyone else for it to have been any better
God bless
Thank you man, love from manhattan, will never forget.
I was at Wrestlemania 18 and the sound in the SkyDome from the fans was something I've never heard since. It wasn't an audible noise, it was just a pressure from 80k people screaming in unison. The electricity in the building was incredible and the hype for Hogan was unreal. It was something I am so glad I was a part of and the ticket from that event sits in a frame at my desk at work every day.
You lucky bastard. How awesome that you got to be there. Those SkyDome crowds are some of the best. I wish I could have been at WM 6 to see Hogan vs. Warrior. Cheers. 👍
I was there too nothing like I’ve ever seen before. Your right about the sound just a surreal atmosphere
I was there too. I still get chills when I rewatch the match. I have been to some big events in the 20 years since but nothing has come even close to the Rock/Hogan match at Wrestlemania X8.
Same here. My parents made a deal with me that I could go to wrestlemania and take 2 friends, no matter how far away it was, if I made the honor roll the year before. They probably felt petty comfortable since I'd never made the honor roll before.
Boy did I make them regret that deal.
It was fucking crazy. Swear to god the Dome shook when Hogan hit the leg and Rock kicked out.
"If I said that Rock was the most talented person I ever worked with in the ring, it would be an understatement." - - HULK HOGAN. What a statement. Great video. From a lifelong 80's Maniac.
Just because HBK fucked their SS match
@@giovannimiguelalfonso5630 That's Hickenbottom for you. Douche, extraordinaire.
Came here to say that if Hogan hadn't made a career out of dodging Bret, he wouldnt be naming Rock here... nice to see the HBK heat in the comments!
Who in the blue hell are you?
Hogan's probably tried claiming the Rock weighed 580lbs for the match mind.. or that he partied with Princess Diana the night after.
I was in the crowd as a 16 year old screaming my head off for hogan. Toronto is sometimes starved for world class entertainers. When an eternal legend like Hogan is in the building not even a star like the Rock will be able to keep us quiet. Toronto is one of the best, underrated crowds in the business.
Rock vs Hogan was so underated, it was a great story. The next day on Raw, Hogan received one of best crowd ovation ever.
Facts
I feel like this is regarded as one of the best matches ever
There ain't no pop like a Hogan pop.
@@itsmezed i hated that they took away the nwo gimmick so fast i wanted it to run for a while but guess it wasnt possible ppl cheered for hogan all thetime
both 👍👍
Hulk Hogan is the goat I was 17 when I first saw him & now I am 52 years old my God times go fast
Amen brother....
I couldn't stand him
308328928 why
I never liked him as a character but I appreciate his greatness and what he did for the wrestling business. I prefer heel hogan "Hollywood " over babyface hogan. Been watching wrestling since 93!
@@Jfizzle813 He hurt the business, especially WCW
no one remembers HHH vs. Jericho being the main event that year lol
Not at all!! Lol
@@808G8GT I forgot myself, definitely thought Rock vs Hogan was and then realized it was crappy HHH vs. Jericho. It sucks Jericho only managed to headline one mania main event and HHH headlined 200 of them.
Jericho admits himself that he has NEVER re-watched that HHH match at wrestlemania
Chris Murray cuz HHH sucks
@@senorfish2503 well, Mainly its because it was a REALLY bad match for a younger Jericho standard. Think of all the ELITE matches he had between 02-05 (e.g WM 19/WITH HBK) also, because it should NoT have gone on last because its IMPOSSIBLE to follow what rock/Hogan did. But HHH CAN work-he has had some great matches (ROYAL RUMBLE 00,WM TAKER BOTH 27/28 as a couple of examples)
Ring psychology is lost on today's wrestlers and fans.
what u mean todays wrestling? No wrestling but trashling nowadays...........
greatone33j, not totally. I still think that there are some guys that have a little ring psychology, especially some of the NXT guys like Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano.
B/c creative micro manages and helicopter parents the fuck out of talent these days so much so that when they are thrown a curve ball live during a match or promo or whatever, they turn into a deer in the headlights.
fans don't need to know about ring psychology.
@@hillncer1 omg...just cause that's your opinion doesn't mean that it's right.
‘He beat Andre the Giant with that move’. Still get chills. JR will always be the GOAT of wrestling commentary.
The crowd during that part was INSANE!! Never heard a wrestling crowd so engaged.. Everyone in the arena counted 1...2...the camera zooms in and the Rock kicks out!
@@andreellis2167 I don't believe we will ever see anything like that again. I hope so though
@@andreellis2167 I still think Hogan should've won right there. It was anti-climactic after that. I usually turn the match off after the kick out. That crowd would've blown the roof off on 3.
Hogan should have won that. It was too predictable that The Rock will win so the curveball would have been great. It was hype enough to let Hogan win as well, wouldn't have been a disappointment at all. It really should have been a title match too
No doubt. Undisputed
When they both talk about "feeling it in the air" that feeling is EXACTLY what's missing in today's wrestling. Those acrobats that wrestling now are great stunt men but they will NEVER get the fans to a point where we can "feel it in the air" or at the "edge of our seats" about whats about to happen. like these legends did. Im one of the few people who still watch wrestling but Damn do I miss wrestling.
Passport Kings Travel exactly, but The hardy boyz return at WM 33 was probably the loudest pop in history of wwe
@@Lak3baby behave
Daniel Wright it was, and it was an open dome
wrestlers of the mid 80's to mid 90's knew how to electrify the air.. imho that was the golden age
FS Chris definitely not
Should have been the main event, still baffles me that Triple H and Y2J went on last.
Liam Huxley blame it on trips being with steph plus being a politician
At this point in WWE the title matches went on last. Y2J had both titles, it was a big deal. But Hogan vs Rock was indeed the bigger match.
Cause HHH is a scumbag who uses his position to keep him self on top. He is the one who buries everyone. He sucks.
Bad Bam Bigelow vs Lawrence Taylor last match and no title. Hulk Hogan vs Sid Justice last match and no title. There were already WM examples to allow it and also a lot of justification for a no title last match in these circumstances of icon vs icon. It’s obvious Triple H was selfish and wanted to end the show with the image of him holding 2 belts in the air with the WM fireworks going off even though nobody cared at that point, or about him in general frankly.
@@chris2423 good point about the ending. The clip of HHH holding both belts is always being broadcast when mania is being advertised. Shortly after this came the "reign of terror"and most of us tuned out for many years.
That alternating “slow look left, slow look right” spot they did at the beginning of the match might be the greatest moment in Wrestlemania history.
Name a match that had that kind of mixed frenzy before the bell. I remember watching it with friends and we all recognized it was more than just history, something very very special was happening.
The “Rocky Sucks!” chant re-emerging at that point of his popularity can’t properly be described with words.
If you think about it, you could say this match was the top of the pro wrestling mountain and thus began the slow descent downward to where we are now.
I remember sitting with a buddy of mine and watching the match. We were both surprised how the crowd turned on the Rock, who was the biggest thing in wrestling at the time. My buddy turns to me and says "That's why _he_ is Hulk Hogan and everyone else is _not_ ." 😁
💯🐐
I was watching with my 2 best friends and another friend and all 3 of them turned on the Rock and I was shocked. I kept asking why they turned on him. The Rock is my favorite, he is definitely in the front in that Mt. Rushmore.
Its because hogan came back.. people wanted the underdog to win and boy can hogan play a crowd
Similar to Reigns & Cena. (Not comparing the matches themselves).
Cena came back this year and brought millions of fans back with him. WWE went from the Head of the table, back to the Cenation, real quick.
Reading your comment on how everyone turned on The Rock who was the biggest thing at the time, reminds me of today, is all I’m saying.
I get chills just listening to this. When I describe wrestling to someone who doesn't watch, this is the match I use as an example.
You can tell Rocky was a Miami Hurricane when he feels the need to differentiate what 'take a bump means'. 😁
LMFAO!!! now we all know what he was doing!
I still remember when Hogan returned on Smackdown and the crowd refused to let him talk to the point where it brought him to tears. The business is the business, but to us fans the WWF was always the house that Hogan built, and it was always where he belonged. That's why at 50+ years old at the time we had his back the whole way. He was finally home, and we wanted to enjoy it.
Hulk vs Rock is the match I will always get hyped watching. Pure Nostalgia.
Today even after more than a decade later, this match still is one of my top 3 matches I ever watched. Wrestlemania 17 and 18. Favourite wrestlemanias ever.
The Rock another truly great human being not just the ultimate entertainer.
The Rock talking about a match he had ‘18’ years ago! And he’s in better shape now! 😂 crazy

Funny thing is Hogan was the same age during that match as the Rock is now, and I think that was the best shape Hogan was ever in. 48 seems to be the sweet spot.
Yeah bc now the rock can juice all he wants and not have to worry about getting fined
@@josephtuzzolo6758 Lol. Yeah, Rock just has to look good. He doesn’t have to get so physical anymore and not constantly on the road anymore.
When he Hulk'd up in that match, he literally re-ignited my childhood. A true all time Great.
The night after WM18, the ovation Hogan got that night.. Just watched that back and it put tears in my eyes man
When people talk about how big Stone Cold and the Rock got, they forget that, when Hogan came out on Raw after WM18, he got the longest ovation we had seen on live TV...ever. His Hall of Fame induction got much longer and louder applause than either Attitude Era guy. Hogan joining the nWo almost put Vince out of business (were it not for Turner/Time Warner, it very well could have). Hogan got the biggest pop at Wrestlemania XXX between the three of them. Hogan was booked as the heel for WM18 while Rock was booked as the face, yet the crowd was about 80/20 Hogan as the match went on, and in their subsequent alliance-turned-feud double cross. Stone Cold may have the box office record for ratings and PPV buys, and Rock went on to have a monstrous movie career, but Hogan did it before them, did it while they were running, and his name still carries that weight. Regardless of how awful of a human being he may be in real life, regardless of how many lies he tells (and let's be real, ALL wrestlers lie to put themselves over, even after retirement), he is the biggest star in the history of the business.
This Wrestlemania would basically be the end of all great things in wrestling. Yes, great matches happened after, and there were probably PPV buys that were bigger, but it was the culmination of wrestling from the 80's and 90's, meeting in one place, with both guys putting on a great show in front of a crowd that was absolutely on fire. It had that same electricity as WM3, or WM6 between Hogan and Warrior. The moves themselves weren't going to matter, because these two had the crowd. It only would have been bigger had it been Austin vs. Hogan. But wrestling after that would slide down from the zenith, and it has never quite recovered since.
SIDE NOTE: No, John Cena doesn't come close. Just because he came up in the internet era and has become a meme to a lot of people doesn't mean anything. He was a forced push in the PG era that squashed a lot of emerging talent to pitiful PPV buys, and was overrated by Meltzer and others who did ratings systems for matches that began during Cena's time. During the Monday Night Wars, Cena would have been a mid-card guy, nothing more.
Yeah it’s like if you go away for a long time people miss you.
More fans were cheering Hogan that night
Toronto is a Hogan town for sure.
Yes genius that was what made the match so interesting
Lol. Yeah, one or two more.
Nostalgia is a powerful thing, its why the WWE still constantly rely on former stars to provide the bigger moments for them rather than cultivating their current talent to do so.
He hadn't been to Toronto in a decade, so of course.
I don't say this lightly, but the closest thing I know of to what he's talking about is when 2 jazz musicians go at it. The changes, the tempo, the feel, the history... you take all that and it just informs what you're going to do in the moment. If somebody in the crowd sneezes, one guy picks up on it and the whole thing goes down a different path. It really is art, and it's a totally unique art where 2 people have to be totally locked in. And only a handful have "it."
This interview is genius... Rock's explanation of that decision to "take the bump" as a heel really did explain EXACTLY how I felt watching this match the first time. And as a kid in the 80's, Hogan was my childhood hero second only to my Pops. So, hearing his point of view made it just that much more special. This video was a real treat.
Man this is a Hogan I’ve never seen I feel like this is the real Hogan
Yeah after 60 years he finally seems humbled and at peace with himself.
There is no real hogan the guy is a worker in and out of the ring till the end
mansonlamps Hogans the GOAT
This is the old Hogan who had to hit rock bottom, no pun intended, and it made him a better man. Unfortunately the young Hogan lived a crazy life of drugs, alcohol, and back stabbing outside of the ring. I guess some people handled fame and the fear of losing top spot differently. One thing for sure was that he could put asses in seats, sell merchandise, and blow up a crowd with 5 wrestling moves. With all that being said it was good to see him back with Vince and the WWF/WWE. Hogan came full circle and everyone's journey is unique!
Hogan looks like a mix of Chong n Macho man lol
Loudest pop ever when hogan hulked up on rock. Rock turned into a 10 year old mark for like 10 seconds watching hulk and hearing the crowd. There’s not a person on the planet that could do that to the rock but the goat. I love them both. Probably the greatest moment I’ve watched as a fan.
Wow, Hogan looking like a regular 135 year old man and looking pretty decent at that.
135? He looks like God.
@@reggiemars2k8 its not how old you are, it’s how old you feel, Larry. And I feel, 157 brother. Every day that Hulk’s not dead brother, he’s living on bonus time
i thought 122 was the longest lifespan i know of.
This was my favourite all time matches, about 7 years ago i showed it my then 7 year old daughter it on my "Hulk still Rules!" DVD and she loved it!.
Another great match was the main event between HHH vs Chris Jericho, I will never forget that match, EVERYBODY I know always remembers that match lol
What they have to realize is that Hogan was in WCW and they never came to Toronto. So for the crowd hadn't seen Hogan for YEARS. That Toronto crowd was all about Hogan because they missed him. Great match!
they came to Toronto, that night when bret hart hid the steel plate under his maple leafs jersey because he called out Goldberg and knew he was going to get speared
as hart was running down the list of names the crowd was booing all of them except Hogan, so I just think they naturally love him
Hogan lost the belt to warrior at WM 6 in Toronto. They wanted the win for him
@@MrRodzilla I was there; Hogan was the only person other than Bret to get ANY cheers. The pop for Bret started from about five seconds after the doors opened, and it just didn't stop, even after the spear. The only time we paid attention to anything else was Hogan's match.
It wasn’t just being back in Toronto. I say it was also just the simple fact he was back in WWE and that’s also what they were cheering as well. Hogan was home and we were happy.
Hogan vs Rock II.... a match we do NOT want to see. Thank you for the greatest match of all time though.

Uh...Rock, buddy, he had literally just driven a semi truck into an ambulance you were inside of the week prior.
He mentions Hogan as the heel.
ObsoleteWorlds, yup, that’s exactly what I was gonna say...LOL!
@@HotstopKid_RugbyGameplays he literally says what I quoted.
@@obsoleteworlds I was not referring to the quote, as I am aware what was said.
I'm referring to your statement underneath the quote.
When the rock mentioned "good guys" he was not referring to the Storyline, he's talking about reality beef between the two, more specifically the competition between companies.
Hulk in his response to this video, explains that.
Given all the legends that Hulk worked with during his career, he gave Rock some Madddd Props there. High praise indeed from the man who took pro wrestling into being a pop culture entertainment giant. This was really a great video by Hulk. He sounded so sincere, so chill, and so at peace sitting there by the ocean. I started watching wrestling back in the days when Bob Backlund was champion for years, and when Hulk came along everything kicked-up to 100 notches. Hulk will always be my favorite of All-Time. Thank you so much Hulk. You gave me and millions of others so much joy over the years.
"Dwayne...... listen to Hogan!" 😂
Hahaha
Both of you are still the greatest one. Hogan and the Rock also deserve $1billion each of them, they did magnificent job! Lots of people oversea love America due to your great jobs...
Many blessings !

@@peldoria ok
@@batteryelectricvehicle2749 ok
I’m just smiling listening to these two talk about this match. One of my favorites
I wasn't even listening to them. I just want to use the Rock's gym. Getting tired of calisthenics.
Gym is more versatile because you can do calisthenics in the gym too plus you have the machines. Only thing better about training outside is the air is better and you can run on grass which is more natural ground
just buy weights bruh
93 til infinity510 Well I am being sanguine about the situation. And I am a little ahead of your suggestion since I have bought weights a few days ago. But since the supply chains are frozen most places don’t have equipment. Even in ebayland the prices are rising. So you have to piece things together. So you mean well but it is somewhat provincial
Absolutely great interviews, this coming from a 61 year old life long wrestling fan! Thank you so much, I was so entertained, it brought a tears to my eyes!
If the goal of professional wrestling is to get you emotionally invested into the match than this was the greatest match ever
I’ve seen pictures of the Hulkster with a full beard, but it didn’t feel real until now, when I watched this video. I was born in 1980, I literally grew up watching Hogan. He’s getting old, and so am I. God bless you Hogan, Hulkamania will live forever brother!
I am from Toronto and been watching the Hulkster in TO since early 80s...of course he was the face at mania in the Dome
I agree, check out my new videos on the story ASAP before they are removed
The Rock always seems to stay in phenomenal shape whether he's doing movies or still in wrestling.
One of my all time favorite matches, along with Austin vs Bret at wrestlemania 13. Like this , Austin and Bert was talking bout their match and the respect they have for each other, on Austin’s show, A must see !! 🙌🏻 Austin’s Broken Skull Session
Hell yeah It was something special
As Stone Cold Steve Austin says "Can everyone here give me a hells yeah?" Hells yeah!
It’s funny how this match had the fans turn on The Rock creating “Hollywood Rock” Heel Character!
Nah. That kinda happened around Rock vs Brock
vincentrich - Banned But Not Forgotten you’re funny
vincentrich - Banned But Not Forgotten I know the match happened months earlier. But rock’s heel turn happened that night he lost to Brock. It wasn’t a heel turn after Rock vs Hogan. As far as the youth comment you made, I’m not what makes you an expert on it. I was a fan since NWA so maybe you can do the math on that 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@vincentrich - Banned But Not Forgotten stfu
@vincentrich - Banned But Not Forgotten I was a kid then but I watched it. Going into the Brock v rock match the rock was definitely still a baby-face we were devastated when he lost. He was obviously a heel afterwards when he went all Hollywood but I don't think anyone was rooting for Brock in that one. You must be incredibly insightful or just using revisionist history either way you're way off
My favorite match ever! The build up, the unbelievable fans.. The way both of them worked the crowd was seriously unbelievable. Two iconic pros doing their thing loved it!
When hulk forgets he’s hulk, he’s a great listen
Not only that we had rock vs hogan in toronto we also had hogan and the ultimate warrior.
Coming from the United States, you guys always have the loudest/passionate crowds! 🤘🙏

Yeah when Kevin Durant got injured in the Finals you Toronto fans cheered louder than Hogan vs Rock. Disgusting!
@Wuhan Virus Thats why you infected him, but he already beat your ass
I was nervous for Hulks sake, didnt know if he could hang in this match and was pleasantly surprised he didnt embarrass himself. Hogan is the goat!
you def were not around in the 80s

It is funny that you said this as Hogan himself said he had reservations about this match. He actually was hurt later in the match and The Rock helped him through.

Two guys who could hold the crowd under their thumb with just a look. Incredible and unrepeatable.
The goats of pro wrestling: Hulk Hogan, Bill Goldberg, Undertaker, Ric Flair, Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Heart Break Kid, Andre the Giant, Lex Luther, Macho Man Randy Savage, Kane, Mankind, John Cena, Chris Jericho.
Lex Luther? Didn’t know he wrestled.
Forgot the Ultimate Warrior.
@@obitwobignuts4496 Oh sorry my mistake Lex Luger is the name lol his name just sounded similar
@@DBCOOPER888 They should do a tribute a count the history of all pro wrestling of the WWE since the time of WWF. I hope they bring back the WCW, ECW championships which were retired. I think they should make some nicer world title belts for the WWE.
You don’t know the difference between Lex Luger and Lex Luthor, and included fucking Goldberg and Cena on a “greatest ever” list that excludes Bret Hart and Sting....
Thanks for the great memories. Even if another year passes not being able to see a live match, these stories are our fuel for looking forward and making new memories.
Papa Smurf has been throwing steel around!
The Rocks psychology is what every inspiring wrestlers and the current roaster needs to hear.
Aspiring, not inspiring.
they all just need to study people like, pt barnum, joseph goebells, satan...
Hogan and rocks psychology is what made that match, along with the fans of course.
“We both went into the match as good guys.”
Hogan had run him over with a semi-truck.
NWO fans were totally with the attack on Rock. The crowd as electric , counting1-2-3 with Scott Hall during the attack inside the ring. Fan favorites would probably be a more accurate description than "good guys".
@@communityparty5560 agree
Nothing but mad respect for both of y’all. This was a masterpiece for a wrestling fan. Thank u
this was so awesome!! Thank you for sharing
❤️ check out more wrestling vids here
"they were either cracked or hurt or whatever..." There's a big bloody difference between cracked ribs and "hurt" ribs!
Maybe he hadn't been to a doctor so if the pain was so extreme he just guessed they were cracked
That's a XXL shirt btw the rock is just a beast 🤣🤣🤣
That’s wild
Thank you Hogan. Thank you for one of the greatest matches and careers of all time. I never experienced anything like WM18 again but I got a chance to be a hulkamaniac as a kid. What an icon
I was at WR 18 with a handful of friends! We drove over from Michigan. It was such an epic night! I still have the WR 18 jersey I bought there.
1:16 With the mustache rub I thought he was gonna say “you know what rock, what you said doesn’t work for me brother”
Santa Clous looks very strong this year
18 years later we got Goldberg coming out age 82 to an empty audience
Plus made him look like a mid card jobber. Was over real quick.
After that private, fan less wrestlemaniaand the joke of a Undertaker match, im All in for #AEW. Today’s #WWE is for the money not the fans
@ERIC JAMES Are you 12?
Goldberg is/was the most boring wrestler ever. If any of his matches were good, its coz his opponent was phenomenal! LoL
@@hakanyigit79 Goldberg was great when first in wrestling!...????
Though I stopped watching wrestling when i hit puberty, and watched real fights!
Just HAD to throw in those RIBS BROTHER. And even at the end leaving the door cracked open for Hogan v Rock III. Work ‘em Hulkster. Work ‘em.
Crowd was absolutely electric on this night
I flew from London when I was 17 to watch this show. Cant believe it was 18 years ago!
When we were queueing outside the arena we could feel something special was going to go down, Half the crowd were chanting for the Rock, the rest for Hogan.
When Hogan kicked out of the Rock Bottom I've never felt, and never will feel again that type of atmosphere.
I flew with a mate to watch this. Best thing I've ever seen live.
I didn't know hogan was filming a sequel to Santa with Muscles

Lol I caught that too hahaha that's what they still call it and taking a wack also Go Canes
One of the greatest matches of all time. Attitude Era will be the greatest time of the WWE universe. Paved the way for the rest of these Jibronies!!
You can see how much that moment and wrestling in general mean to The Rock by watching and listening to his energy. You can tell he’s nostalgic
Rock was the locker room.." ITS DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE LOCKER ROOM SAYS!!!"
Rigo Martinez undertaker ran the locker room during that Monday night wars time
Rigo Martinez it was The undertaker,Rock and Steve Austin running things in those days.
@@st4focus4mk4 not in Bret or HBK's time
@@Zeke1379 yeah but those two pretty much still respected Taker
The Rock being humble, I really respect him for that, and he's definitely a GOAT himself, or at least like he said he deserves to be on someone's "Mt. Rushmore" of wrestling. I agree with him though, Hogan is definitely in at least my top 5 if not top 10.
Ric Flair
I wouldn't put Hogan in my top 30. I'll never take away what he did for the business or his incredible runs. Just as an ring talent goes, he's absolutely trash. Literally always has been. He's one the least convincing in ring workers I've ever seen in my years. From the 80s to his last WWE run.
@@comradechenkov6569 Hogan not my fav BUT he is easily the GREATEST wrestler ever unless you are being jealous or childish.
Stone Cold > Rock
@@liamhiggins360 lol childish? I gave Hogan how credit. There isn't a single argument that can debunk Hogan was a horrible in ring worker. Nash had more moves than Hogan for Christ's sake lol.
As for jealous, nah. As I said before i gave him his due and acknowledged his career. But as far as "best wrestler", lmfao he's not even close.
love how Guns 'n Roses - Knockin on Heaven's Door is playing in background of Rock's interview
Paradise City же.
The rock was listening to guns n roses greatest. hits lmao rock on lol
Welcome to WWE it's worse here everyday
i thought i could hear it n went looking for a comment hhahah ty
Joe Di Carlo Cmon, it’s the ROCK listening to ROCK music.
@Joe Di Carlo yeah... I also guess that's funny...
Two of my favorites. I can remember watching WWF on the CBS affiliate in Rhode Island every week in the early 80s. I just wish Andre was still with us.
Double Face Heel Swap *Genius*
I was there. Absolutely no one was cheering for the Rock outside of the end of that match. Like zero fans. It was Hogan from the second he came out and no one was conflicted. Everyone was for Hogan from the start
He's a phony wrestler so of course his story is phony
I agree I wasn’t there but the crowd was not conflicted
Yeah as great as the rock was, when Hogan hulked up shit hit the roof
Akhil Bhargava i wished they called an audible and let Hogan win, that place would have crumbled afterwards lol
I was there too. I can confirm everything you say. Best thing I've ever seen live. Simply electrifying!
I love Hogan, always had, always will. He offered me some of the best match of my wrestling fan career. Wrestlemania 18 was the last time I felt like a 12 years old watching a wrestling match.
What a great video from two of the BEST. It is hard not to shed a TEAR when you watch this. THANKS.
As a kid who grew up watching wrestling in the 80/90s and a young man watching the Rock and all his movies, this video is really blowing my mind.
Alright I don’t care what anybody says, the Rock has definitely been working out
It is amazing how personality driven pro wrestling actually is. Live Long and Prosper Hulkster!
I remember watching this match live, The Rock working heel in that match, was one of the greatest moments in his wrestling career.
The unplanned double turn of that night, was so amazing, and so unpredictable...which is one of many reasons, why this one of my favorite matches of all time.
dude, there was no double turn. the rock never worked heel the entire match. and if the rock did turn heel then he wouldnt have helped Hogan beat up Hall n Nash after the match.
@@heyyoitsmebrian yeah there’s a difference between working heel in a match, responding to the crowd, and an actual heel turn.
I grew up on hulk hogan, tears fall from me to him . hulk maniacs 4ever.!
I watched a lot of wrestlemanias , to watch the build up of Hogan. VS Andre was one of the most entertaining times in history. To watch Hogan bodyslam Andre was one of the most impressive feats of strength iv ever seen. A real class act
I was surprised that Hulk didn’t won in No Way Out.
yeah but vince had a crocked ref to allow for the interference and build for vince vs hogan
Hogan did win in No way out. The Ref didn't count to 3. Vince Macmahon turned the lights out. One of the resaons i don't watch wrestling anymore, because it's complete bullshit!
@@jamesmuller1481 No, The Rock won. In wrestling, it's all about the decision. Hogan had Rock beat, but due to fuckery, Hogan lost. By your logic, you can make the argument that the Big Show technically won the 2000 Royal Rumble, since Rock's feet touched the floor first. But who has always been declared the winner of that? Give ya a hint...
@@bigb860 The matches are predetermined, so no one won.
@@jamesmuller1481 But I thought you said Hogan won? Now it's no one because it's all predetermined? Make up your mind, bud.
Is it just me,... or is Hogan starting to look like Savage? LOL
i was thinking that first second of video...he looks good with the macho beard lol
Remember when shoot actually meant something lol. People toss that word like candy
This was so much fun listening to these two legends talking about that Wrestlemania match!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
That was the best match that I have ever seen. The way that the crowd flipped and got behind Hogan was so cool.
Santas been working out!
Lol
Rock was right. Hogan/Rock at WM 18 was one of the greatest matches of all time, however, it wasn't because the match was a technical masterpiece or because of what they did in the ring that night. It was because the fans in Toronto were absolutely living for that match. Watch that match on mute and tell me how many exciting spots you see.
I still love the match completely though.
Having those 2 go together going against each other in the same ring, you don’t even need to wrestle. Just shoves, strikes and finishing moves is all you need.
