Hogan vs Rock is probably one of the top 5 matches ever at a Mania. The crowd was totally in it and Hogan proved that he was still popular as hell and could still put on a great match.
Hollywood Hogan v Rock a dream match nobody saw coming. Both superstars made Wrestlemania history
Hulk hogan bulking up on the rock and the crowd reaction was professional wrestling at its best
@@aqx1545 man I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
That match was epic. The crowd took it to another level. The only thing that could have made it better was if hogan won! That would have been the biggest pop ever. And I was lucky enough to be there live for it.
MrPantera123456 glad hogan didn’t win. the Rock is better . Hulk is a character but a great character with only a few moves. The rock is the great one.
My only complaint is that WWE has muted the crowd noise on Hogan's intro and consistently dubbs over the NWO theme whenever you watch the event now. Hogan's original entrance with the NWO theme got a major standing ovation. The crowd was 100% behind Hogan in that match.
The guy who left for another company deserves to come back and beat one of the biggest stars? Genius logic.
@@butt5ful it’s about business and making money lol. You’re a clueless moron 🤣😂
Wrestling is super over in Canada. Especially Hogan.
When people shit on Bret Hart for saying he was almost as popular as Hogan, they don't realize that Bret got astronomical pops in Canada. And he would get tons of fan mail and such.
I'm from Canada, Bret Hart is a national hero (Bischoff likes to say, all it takes to be a Canadian Hero is to be a celebrity, which isn't true).
Obviously Bret didn't draw as much as Hogan because not every show is held in Canada, but Bret is super over here.
That pop when Hogan kicked out and 'Hulked up' for the first time in WWE for about 10 years, was the biggest pop I've ever seen or heard. It was some sort of double, extended pop. So strange. Almost like a panic or as if something was wrong it was so emotional for fans to see that.
The styles of Rock and Hogan worked well together. They were also similar in height and build. It’s a better visual look. Rock basically had a more athletic Hogan style. Hogan also worked better with men that were his size or bigger. He didn’t really look good fighting smaller men. It looked weird when he wrestled Shawn Michaels. Hogan and Rock are also pop culture icons as well.
I think HBK vs Hulk Hogan could have been a good match but Shawn over sold every move Hogan did to him .
@@michaelmercury1297 it would never work well, Unless you had an extremely strong heel and an extremely strong face. Their physical discrepancies were too different. Shawn had to be the weak evil heel and Hulk had to be the extremely strong face
Hogan vs Rock was awesome!! I prefer that to Hogan vs Austin
First and ½
Agreed
Austin sucks!! Ive always liked The Rock better.
@Stay Classy yes, you already said that. You have to reply with something else (or say something else in the first place) or it starts to get old, and loses effect and people will begin to ignore you. Just advice if you want to be a successful troll
Hollywood Hogan v Rock was a mega dream match. We were lucky we got a chance of getting this dream match
Just say it Bruce, Hulk Hogan & The Rock are bigger names in Pop Culture while Steve Austin is a bigger name with wrestling fans & the semi angle was overkill but still exciting / memorable
THANK YOU!! You're the first person I've seen acknowledge this. Everyone seems so scared to for some reason.
When you think about it it's true
I wasn't old enough at the time to know - so Austin could've been as big then possibly? We think of Rock in pop culture now, which is clear as the #1 actor but was it true at the time? I was 8 so I wouldn't know LOL
@@Matt-cr4vv Hulk Hogan was responsible for both of biggest eras in Wrestling The Rock&Wrestling era of the 80's & early 90's & he also spearheaded the late 90s NWO/Attitude Era. Obviously Stone Cold Steve Austin became massive around that time but you don't get that Stone Cold & The Rock character or the Attitude Era in WWE itself without Hulk Hogan turning heel in WCW. So in that respect Hulk Hogan was the lead in both eras but again I will say I think most fans Allegiance would be with Stone Cold Steve Austin if asked this question but I think that's more of an emotional response then being actual fact. People tend to not like Hulk Hogan for various reasons but I think if your grandmother or grandfather had to name a wrestler they name The Rock or Hulk Hogan.. facts are facts, now again Steve Austin was massive during this time but even in that era The Rock stardom reached a level higher than Steve Austin's and has continued to do so because he's the top star in Hollywood right now, so I think at the end of the day The Rock will go down as the biggest wrestling Superstar name of all time.
The ambulance was the last great nwo moment. I thought it was awesome
It was awesome. They could’ve broken it up between two raws.
That was a freaking awesome moment in wrestling history!
I was there at WMX8.....Unreal match, cheering my balls off for Hogan, only time I ever cheered for Hogan!
The crazy thing about this whole feud..which can only happen in wrestling...is an attempted murder happens and then 3 weeks later they are hugging and posing together sharing good times.
Hulk Hogan is a miracle as an entertainer.
Hogan hitting Rock with a ambulance was awesome.
Meltzer giving Hogan-Rock, one of the greatest matches of ALL TIME, only 3 stars out of 5, and giving Hogan-Andre at WM3 NEGATIVE 4 stars puts the lie to his entire ratings system. He is colossally full of shit.
What was awful about the ambulance big rig scene? As a kid, that was pretty cool.
Hogan has cRazy triceps in this picture.
The NWO would have been HUGE during the Invasion angle back in 2001. Just imagine it. You have WWF vs WCW and some how the NWO reforms with Hogan, Hall and Nash against The Rock, Austin and Triple H or maybe The Undertaker in a classic feud. It would have taken the Invasion angle to a whole new level. Cause you don't have The NWO against WCW. They're some how would have worked together and if you want add Scott Steiner or The Giant in there and then you have team WWF has Kane or Kurt Angle/Chris Jericho it would have been good for business. It so would have been much better than what we got. Plus Sting and The Undertaker could have feuded and Stone Cold vs Flair or Hogan take your pick. Cause it wouldn't have mattered. So much more could have come from the angle which didn't sadly. Another missed opportunity. Like a lot of missed opportunitis with this company has missed.
They could have a long feud before Wrestlemania 18 started
It didn't/wouldn't happen because the top tier talent from WCW were still getting paid to sit at home until their Turner contracts finally ran out.
Hey Bruce why you guys would not do a watch along of hulk hogan vs the rock
Why would you watch it with the sound off??🤦🏾♂️
First and ½
Awful? What is Conrad talking about? He knows he was on the edge his seat just like the millions... And millions of Rock fans, that were Hulk Hogan fans first. Lol
I’ve always wondered if they considered putting rock-hogan on in the main event? Switch spots with HHH-Jericho.
12:58-Cena WOULD NOT have know what to do!
Steve Austin v Hogan was the history making match so many of us really wanted. It could had been special
YES
I always preferred Hollywood Hogan to red and yellow Hogan.
I liked both, for different reasons.
Hogan - Austin at WM20 would've been the one
In was at hogan/rock and hogan/warrior and the interaction with the crowd was better for hogan/rock!! But the pop and the building shook for hogan/warrior
Hogan stole Rocks spot as the #1 Face of the company even though he loses clean , that takes talent getting his gimmick over shows he star power at the time
Which episode is this from
The rock episode
If they had stretched it all out over time, the heat for that match would have been legendary. And wouldn't have come off so rushed and cheesy.
The match itself was great.
I'm surprised that in Hogan's contract it didn't state that the only way he would lose to Rock, was if he was given 20 rock bottoms, and 10 people elbows. And even then he would kick out at three.
You fanboys sure do love hating on Hogan when he puts someone over.
Yeah, like Austin didn't lose to rock after three rock bottoms at wrestlemania 19!!!
hey hoe-gin and austin fans, here’s the bright spot for you both. the rock is bigger and better than them both. if that’s any consolation. now stop arguing.
Soooo, Rock caught Hogan’s headband at MSG when he was a kid. Then Hogan asked for it back when young Rock was backstage with his dad because it was Hogan’s last one. So, would Hogan have asked for it back if just any old kid in the audience had caught it? Why would he throw it in the audience if he did not have any more? 🤷♂️
It was awesome that other guy is just negative 😡
Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, please welcome THE BEST IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLD---SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE MC-MAAAAAAHOOOOOOON. *carry on*
Why does this guy quote Meltzer all the time?
It gives Conrad material from outside the business to then had a counter argument for them to talk about. And also its an enormous archive of Play by play action dating back decades.. Albeit 80% bullshit lol
Plus Bruce hates the reviews lol
12:43-😂
No Bruce we loved Hollywood the heel
Haha this one was great
I’m still pissed we got Rock vs Hogan twice and never got Austin vs Hogan once
Thats on Austin
They should do a 3 way match between Hogan vs Cena vs Austin at a Saudi Arabia show
Cause Austin took hiswhisker biscuit candy woman beating ass home cause hes a diva.
That's because Steve Austin's a mark for himself.
Just be happy we got Rock v Hogan happened twice. Very sad Austin v Hogan never happened
So Bruce wanted Nash to hit Rock with the Semi instead of Hogan?? SMFH Bruce is an idiot so because Nash was Diesel by his logic Nash should have driven the truck instead of Hogan except it would have made no sense for Rock to want to wrestle Hogan at that point... Then he should be wanting to go after Nash and who wanted to see Rock vs Nash?? Thank God Bruce wasn't making those decisions
The ambulance thing was toooooo much.
Come on Bruce really you really believe the story with the semi truck hitting the Rock and he was I'm going to make his heroic come back 🤣🤣🤣🤣, did you hear Conrad started laughing Bruce got real quiet and he was standing by his story 🤣🤣🤣, yeah he's right Hogan did hurt his ribs because in the end of the match Hogan and the rock with walking up the ramp and The Rock was asking Hogan was he okay because he was holding his sternum looks like his sternum
Wait, why exactly didn't Austin-Hogan happen? I think I missed it
Austin didn't want it to happen because he didn't think both of their wrestling styles would gel
Austin wasn’t going to lay down for hulk, and hulk certainly wasn’t laying down for Austin especially after napping for the rock.
Terry driving that Truck into the ambulance was classic idk wtf this guy is talking about..... u know right after Dwayne hosted the NAACP Awards so yeah they put him in expedite hiatus LMAO........
Rock-Hogan at Wrestlemania.
Austin comes down the aisle. Rock is having his way with Hogan.
Rock acknowledges Austin. Austin cheers on the Rock! Rock hits the Rock bottom on Hogan; Rock goes for the pin. Austin says no. Austin calls for the stunner.
The Rock is shocked, surprised that Austin would let him do his finisher on Hogan. Rock hits the stunner, goes for the pin. Austin pulls him off.
Rock gets in Austin’s face, Austin low kicks the Rock and hits the Stunner!
Austin and Hogan dismantle the Rock!
WM fades to black during the beat down!
On Raw: “Why Austin Why?? Why Austin why?”
Austin: i’ll tell you why. For two years...for two years, I’ve been giving blood sweat and tears to the WWF. And for two years the Rock has been making movies in Hollywood.
But the WWF always chooses the Rock over Austin. Rock then Austin; Rock over Austin! Well dammit if the WWF doesn’t want Austin, then Austin doesn’t want the WWF!
So I decided to align myself with the biggest star in the history of professional wrestling. And with Hulk Hogan by my side, with the NWO watching my back, The man Austin, The name Austin will become bigger than professional wrestling just like Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
And While Eric Bischoff was packing meat in a truck, and while the Rock was sleeping on piss-stained mattresses, I was building a career for myself emulating Hulk Hogan. And now, with Hollywood by MY side, we are going to destroy wrestling as you know it. That is:
WHY AUSTIN WHY?
Hogan takes the mic: Lemme tell you something Stone Cold..... everybody in professional wrestling wishes they were as big a star as Hollywood Hulk Hogan....
the rock >>>>>>>>>>>> hoe-gin and austin combined
What’s sad is that Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard and most people working at the WWE at this time really show the world how big of a mark they were. Instead of having the angle of a lifetime they all got real petty and decided to just ruin the NWL and after they fired hall and Nash‘s contract was up they couldn’t wait to put out DVDs and talk About how those guys couldn’t hang. The one thing they never bring up is when the NWL first came to the WWE it was instantly more over than anything they had on their TV at the time.
The WWF produced VHS/DVD while the nWo was still in the WWF back in 2002. Do your research, kid.
You mean Hall’s drinking and drug problems and Nash tearing his quad is all Vince’s fault? Get a f**** clue.
The nwo were so over their biggest mark calls them nwl.
Think it would have made more sense for Hogan to beat The Rock considering Rock is taking time off, and then build Hogan Austin
Conrad is nails on a chalkboard to listen to. Especially that laugh
Kewwwl. Go back to your massive channel and 5K subscribers
I agree rock vs hogan at no way out 2003 sucked.
It was still OK just not at the level of a Wrestlemania 18
@@TheWazperviz agreed.
Hulk hogan may be the most popular but the rock is the greatest. He was allowed to beat hulk and stone cold for A GOOD REASON. He’s the great one.
the rock is the goat easily. clear as day.
Get rid of that opening
No
No.
@@Sockimus
What does the W stand for? Wetarded?
@@ThunderLips730 run along little boy.

I didn’t like the Rock making fun of the NWO because I thought it made them look weak.
So you wanted the rock to not do what he did to absolutely everyone else. He did it to austin, he did it to hhh. What makes the nwo special?
