The Rock And Hulk Hogan On Classic WrestleMania Match, Eddie Guerrero-Kurt Angle, NXT Star Turns 35
- It was 16 years ago on Saturday when Hollywood Hulk Hogan and The Rock clashed at WrestleMania X8 in front of 67,237 fans at the SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in a match dubbed as "Icon vs. Icon."
Despite Rock portraying a face and Hogan a heel, the Canadian crowd cheered Hogan over Rock instead. In the end, The Rock prevailed over Hogan after two Rock Bottoms and a People's Elbow. Following the contest, the two shook hands in respect and fought off Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, who were upset with Hogan's attitude change.
Just before midnight, Hogan sent out this tweet remembering their classic encounter.
