Rock vs Hogan was insanity
I know, I dont get why ppl dont respect this guy more, hes made it that he still gave us classic whether he was the winner or looser. classic after classic
He whoop that red and yellow candy ass!!!
So was this match lol. Hype was through the roof as a kid 😆
The way he gives the Cameraman and Chris positive critique just goes to show that he wants people to succed. He wants them to know that they did good and keep it up. I like that mentality.
Damn Rock looks so tired. First time seeing him not being hyped.
He's either had an entire day of nothing but interviews or he'd been drinking tequila for a few hours lol.....or both
After 8 years it's still the big match in the history of wrestlemania.
Biggest match in wrestlemania history is The Rock vs Stone Cold WM17 actually!
yeah no matter hwo big the others I think Austin Rock is really special cause of they put it on their back and both knew they were going for more and in their prime.
Rock v Cena 2 beat it. Think of that as you will.
What made it huge was the build up but the ending of the match was horrible so ain’t considered the best of the best
Same
Agree. Literally the biggest WM matches are all the Rocks matches
The rock is the man... But damn I wish he would speak the way he did in 98 now lmao.... He's still the man though haha
His 98 and 99 voice was my all time fav too. Plus the side burns and 500 dollar shirts. He moved slower too with his mannerisms
For real he sounds plain and ordinary now
Now he's just a business man and a actor so he's a gentleman before he was The best trash talker ever
Rock-Austin WM 17 is the greatest match of all time. No matter how many superstars and perfect matches come up in the future
the Rock will always be the great one.
Hogan was the John Cena of his day and John Cena is today's Hulk Hogan. Hogan was for us when we were children and Cena is for the children of today, and The Rock 🤘🏻beat them both.
Rock was my hogan lmao
big Show,HHH,Shane and Austin even Cole love Rock and support everything he does. Matter fact Show and HHH alwways gives respect to Rock in interviews.
Hogan vs rock was a evergreen blockbuster match.
THE ROCK IS THE GREATEST. IF HE HAD OF LEFT FOR 7 YEARS I REALLY BELIEVE HE WOULD HAVE WON 17 WWE CHAMPIONSHIPS BRING IT IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING
The Rock vs The Undertaker at WM would’ve been a huge draw. Icon vs Icon.
I get that he has to push it for marketing's sake, but it was absolutely NOT bigger than his match with Hogan. His match with Hogan was the most lit up a crowd has ever been at a Wrestlemania. Even Stone Cold says it was the most electric moment he's ever seen in WM history, and that's part of why he regrets not working with Hogan. The Rock only thinks less of it because the crowd completely turned on him through that entire angle. The Rock didn't like the angle because it proved, once and for all, that Hogan was the biggest superstar of them all. WM18 is a moment in time that everyone will remember. His match(es) with Cena isn't even in the top 10. Rock's comeback felt forced, and like he was doing an impression of his former self.
oh my God he's absolutely flawless ♥
As someone born in miami , a fan of THE U and a lifelong Rock fan, I'm glad he won this match, especially in his hometown. That being said what will happen to cena now that according to just about everybody he needed to win more than the rock did? Just curious.
We're just glad he's free and being such an inspiration! Terry and John are blessed plus Steve ! Got a baby that loves this journey!)
i think hogan and the rock is a bigger deal to me anyway
I think this was, but they messed it up making it a twice in a life time
Tara 33ify but hogan and rock fought twice.
Hogan faced the rock at No way out 2003 wich was similarish angle didnt feel great about that but wasnt too much though
hogan steroids user fucking sucker
@@cultavenue4580 at least the second match wasn't a Wrestlemania main event, though
Rock 🤘🤘👊👊
12 years already man time flies
it wasnt. Rock/Hogan was poetry in motion
theres no way cena should be compared to rock...
+Aidan McGrath Rock maybe one of the biggest stars but Cena has worked tirelessly for the company for over 10 years now right at the very top, doesn't deserve all the hate he gets
If Cena would had came in Attitude Era he would be the biggest of all time, he would have surpassed even Austin
@@siunabidan6875 you are mentally retarded if you think he could have surpassed Austin. Do you even know who Austin is? Cena couldnt even surpass a 40 year old rock on his way out of his career and Austin was battling with a young rock in his prime with mic skills, wrestling skills, challenges in the ring, ect
Cena couldnt even keep up with the rock at wrestlemania, he had to slow the match down cause he cant wrestle like Austin or The rock. He hasn't faced anyone like that until that match
All you see is submissions and long breaks in that match with the rock vs cena, watch the beginning to see cena get out of the ring, talk to the ref, and plan out the scripted moments of the match so they can tell the rock to slow down
Austin skills still shits on cena to this day. If you look up the best promos, Austin is on that list
They have to lift cena up on the pedal stool and let him get away with shit he couldnt in the attitude era
Austin's promos weren't scripted like cena. He was really pissed and challenged to go out there and show what he has or he was fired
WWE today isnt like how It was back then. Cena cant wrestle, no where near charismatic, and cant hold a good rivalry. He cant turn heel cause he know he will fail at it.
Rock and Austin has been liked Heel and liked Face. Know your facts before selling lies
@@siunabidan6875 ruclips.net/video/tjWPoQWdmjg/видео.html
Austin dethrowned legends. Cena never have and cannot do that. Even if he did, he wouldnt be loved like Austin.
Name one guy who have dethrowned a legend everyone loved and was able to smack talk him?
Do your research man. Cena still hasn't surpassed Austin's career. Cena was just an addition to wrestling, Austin was needed
..exactly..cena can have 100 title runs but will never be as great as Rock or Austin. Cena is a wwe made product to sell merch is all. Rock Austin made themselves into mega stars. Both had charisma to connect with people. Cena panders to people. Vince made sure no matter how boring simple cena style was hed win and made it a big deal. Give cena credit for memorizing lines well and work schedule..but no way is he greater than Rock or Austin.
Bigger matches ever made 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤❤❤❤❤
His match with Hogan will always be bigger
maybe to us fans but rock & cena generated the biggest buyrate of all time with 80,000 in attendance
BottomLine BSR roman reigns vs hhh did 1,00,000
Last time I checked Austin was the biggest draw in WWE history, so Hogan/Rock was not the biggest match at that time, Austin/Rock WM17 was...
Cause of Stone Cold WWE won the WAR and carried the company to a new heaights,his badass charecter is just to great.
Dave O Rourke There wouldn't be a Wrestlemania without Hogan
Rock is bigger, it's obvious
Captain Lobo Rock surpassed both in 2000.
Dave O Rourke Rock v Hogan are the two biggest stars ever bitch.
This interview should have something to do with one of the wwe2k games and the rocks attire on this interview too and 2012 the rock with the goatee also Rocky Mavia and more Versions of the rock
The rock and Jeff Hardy where always my two favorite wrestlers.
Shoutout to 19 action news! Cleveland misses you!
I guess he had no choice but to say nice words and promote the event at that time, but I'm really sure, deep down in him, he considers that 'Mania X8 match one of the best of his career.
Legend.
Rock and Hogan I prefer because of that crowd, but Cena and The Rock was a better match, however if Hogan was in his prime, maybe a few years younger, I feel that match would be the better one.
Must be one of their earliest interviews.
Stone Cold vs The rock anybody? Like no jokes this was the best wrestlemania.
yeah wm17
Yassss
Yes
rocks a pretty good dude ay, real relaxed and jokin around
Hulk hogan made wwf what it is today
true
@ChristmasCreature Hogan didn't want to put Austin over though. And as big as Austin was (he was huge, obviously) The Rock was bigger in pop culture and mainstream, it was him who brought all the casual fans over to WWF/E
Undertaker Vs Steve Austin WM29!
Undertaker Austin, this wille be Bigger.
I ❤ Rock!
my top 5 guys of all times are as followed, Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock..
Then Flair
Rocky is the man hope he is at wm 30.
my guess is the rock cena match had a whole year to build and hype the match up , and with that much hype it was always going to be a let down , just like the mayweather pacman fight
The rock awesome
its really easy to tell he was trying to get in WWEs good graces by saying the john cena rock match was better. noone on the history of the planet will say a rock vs john cena match was better than wrestlemania 18
@clfritz1982 i think right around 40 minutes if u include entrances! 10 minutes of entrances, 5 minutes stare down and 25 minutes of action
Rock match was bigger with cena because Rock Broke His Pebble in that Match! LOL
My Baby..The Rock..altough he's married! ❤❤❤
rock hogan was an amazing match. great psychology , great improvisation . better crowd.
as a story there aren’t many better matches than that even though from a technical wrestling standpoint is mediocre
You Rock the Rock!
Nah, sorry. Hogan/Rock was the greatest match this Hogan fan ever saw. Rock worked his ass off to make Hogan look good. And Hogan played to the fans like they had all hoped.
LOL bigger than his match with Hogan🤣🤣
I wonder how much Vince paid him to say that! Rock v Hogan was orgasmic and should've main evented!
Chris Jericho and Triple H even said that Hogan vs. The Rock should've been the main event, and I think 🤔that Batista vs. The Undertaker match for the World 🌎 Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 23 should've been the main event, also.
Rock and Hogan are entertainment
WHEN RETURN TO WWE I HAVE SEE HIM SINCE APRIL OF 2013 ?
Dude he was referring to the Rock-Cena rivalry
at 4:06 the guy holding the mic should have said "what?"
Austin Vs Rock WM 17..Texas...that IMO was the biggest of all time. any real wwF fans would remember the hype and the build up to that event (limp biskit My Way video)...and that match lived up to the hype cause of Austin's heel turn, big suprise. Rock/Cena is huge, but none like WM 17
Is the rock buzzed?
#GenerationalGreatness!-)
i want a rock vs brock part 2 for wrestlemania 29......and cena will be the ring announcer ;P
rock tore his quad doing this interview
Best match ever hulk hogan and ultimate warrior wrestle mania 6.
With the facial hair that the rock has, I’m seeing similarities between him and Roman a LOT more than I do now. And this is my first time seeing this video
The Rock is the victim of PG era, i thought I can give you my hope for bringing back the Attitude era, Rock
Yeah, because Cena couldn't handle Attitude era Rock, and so he went crying 😢to Vince asking him to ask The Rock to tame it down, apparently.
What BS and The Rock knows it. His match with Hogan in WM18 was awesome and one of the greatest wrestling moments of all time. Cena sucks.
+Russell Scott Riiighhhht. And Hogan didn't suck?
+K. Peake rock and cena got the biggest ppv buyrate in history.
you suck bitch learn to respect John Cena he's been doing this way too damn long
Russell Scott the rock sucks
TB12Goat91 Patsnation shut up Hogan made wwe huge if it wasn't for Hogan wresting wed not be hear today and at mania 18 Hogan was a heel and got cheered and the rock got booed so shut up.
Either you can't hear very well or you've just never seen the match and base your opinion on nothing more than highlight reels. The Rock was nearly universally booed during his match with Hogan. At least they knew there that it was best to pass the torch, rather than let Hogan go over based solely on his celebrity status.
Man, LA Knight even stole Rock’s “UUUHHH” in between words lol
Wny cause Rocks in it. Rock can have a amazing match with ANYBODY. Your giving austin to much credit.
he looks like ryback in this interview
The Rock vs Hogan Wm 18 > The Rock vs Austin Wm 17 (Spectacle wise) > Doink The Clown and Dink the Clown vs Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachan > Rock vs Lady Parts
the greatest mach in wrestlemania was rock vs austin and hbk vs triple h vs chris benoit and undertaker vs shawn michelas
over/under 40 minute match?
3:16
@danathor99 Yeah thats true; however, Austin made the most money for the company ever. His merchandise, the ratings, went up as he rose. The Rock most definitely is on the same level as Stone Cold as far as ratings are concerned but Austin did make more money in the company.
rocky! rocky! rocky!
is it bigger rock because the crowd at wrestlemania 18 started cheering hogan?
Lakers fan > Hating bitch!
Hogan/rock was and will be bigger
🐐
the rock vs hulk hogan is epic
Lol well how else would he respond to that question? " nah this match is gonna blow, don't buy the ppv people..please don't waste your money."
rock vs hogan was probably biggest after hogan vs andre, rock talked like this just case wwe wanted to promote cena vs rock big,i remember when rock talked in 2010 09 that there cant be any match bigger than rock vs hogan, two biggest charismas and icons there was
Austin Vs The rock forever will be The greatest Wrestlemania Match of all times, Don't Lie to Yourself Rock.
He's just promoting the PPV.
the biggest Warstlemania is the rock vs brock lesnar in Warstlemania 33 and the rock vs the undertaker in Warstlemania 34
none are gonna happen bruh
De France
Damn all the haters in the comment section.
Yeah, fuck them
I find it fucked up that Sheamus won the royal rumble and DESERVED the right to MAIN EVENT wrestlemania but couldn't cause of the rock and John cena
cm Punk was the wwe championship
How did you get away with saying fuck? youtube always deletes mine
Biggest match of all time in terms of legendary would be Austin vs Hogan
Never happened
The biggest match is still gonna be Rock Austin at Wrestlemania 17.
Wrestlemania 17 the rock vs Austin
3:16 is the greatest match of all time
Don't get me wrong I love Rock but Shawn/Taker at WM25 was and probably always will be the greatest match of all time.
@81kasen01 Well logic would dictate that since Hogan was the icon of the '80's the initial WWF boom and Rock was the icon (more or less) of the '90's the second WWF boom the match would be bigger that the match vs Cena who was the icon for a down period in the business in terms of creativity and interest.
The rock looks much better with his french beard.I dont know why he is having a clean shave look.He is getting older
Yeah he looks better with beard when bald
the biggest match of all time will always be Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker Wreslemania 25!
Cena best wresler
In terms of Glitz and glammer, it's the biggest match in terms of two greats who defined their generations. Cena made WWE mainstream mainstream in the 2000s. The way it was so big Undertaker's/Orton/Triple H/Batista/Edge became Giants during that time. Look Cena and Orton is not active it lost its edge.
Lots of tequola and pizza lol
I love The Rock,but let's be honest...Rock did not like Wrestlemania 18 because he thought he was gonna be the fan favorite,only to find out that racist Hogan was the most loved by the fans,despite still being nWo Hollywood...not gonna lie,8 years old, at the time I was still screaming nWo 4 life after WCW death...Rock had to be in his hometown for his pop at Wrestlemania to be fool proof...besides what main event match that The Rock was in when he did not say was gonna be "The biggest match of all time"...
@DMG118 Austin vs. Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven doing better PPV business than WrestleMania X8 says you're dead wrong.
Rock-Austin>Rock-Hogan>Rock-Cena
and the team wwe 1 that i want is the rock and undertaker and brock lesnar and goldberg and hbk vs team number 2 that triple h and john cena and kane and big show and mark henri and randy orton
4:55
