Hulk Hogan On Wrestlemania 18 vs The Rock 

Love It CVVCLIPS Brotherrrrrrr Dude Jack.

Just Sad that it wasn't the Main Event.

Everyone i've talked to agrees with that. And so do I. Triple H and Jericho's storyline was a little weak.

No you weren't

Austin years later admitted his disdain for Hogan because of the mid 90's when hogan went to WCW just as Austin was making a mark, he felt hogan hamstrung him and then again coming back to WWE for a second time screwing him over,, and decided not to ever give him a match, which Steve later admitted was a mistake on his part. But I always questioned if those two could harmonize a match well, when both styles contradicted each other too much. You could see it in detroit before hogan vs Rock, they had a tag team match and hogan and austin finally were wrestling each other near the end of that match, but it felt a bit awkward.

Did Hulk Hogan get a phenomenal reaction on the WM 40 PPV?

Who cares who went last though? That only really matters for that night. Everyone remembers that as the best match of the night.

​​@@hellohell77nah i liked triple h vs chris jericho much more hulk hogan vs rock was mid crowd reaction doesnt make a match

@i2a7-of2ju if you're one of those that likes it more technical then a hogan match will never be up your alley anyway. But crowd reaction actually can make a match. Neither hogan or rock did anything special technically. But they worked with the crowd. Masterful ring psychology too...especially rock playing heel. When you get a combination of the two, that's when the matches are all timers. Hogan rock is one of the most memorable but rock Lesnar at summerslam that year was even better.

@@hellohell77 there is no such thing as a matchi couldnt watch and like i even liked ric flair vs hogan random raw even tho they both suck i enjoyed it somewhat the only match i couldnt watch and havent enjoyed is undertaker vs great khali

@@hellohell77 and no i dont like techincal wrestling technical like kurt angle, chris benoit guys like that i dont find it interesting i like slamming n punching

Indeed!

​@@InvincibleYoungEmpireI choppy choppy your pee pee!

💯

Except there were TWO people in the match. Hogan didn't do it alone.

@@alexandermacdougall7873hogan marks be crazy

the rock was the one that called the audible and turned heel. hoe-gin and austin marks are selective with their blind spots.

@@LucrativeLessonsWithLandyexactly that match was successful because of him

He admitted many times how great the rock was at harmonizing a match so brilliantly. The rock was the best ever, at that, hogan once said. How easily rock could be so flexible and go with the flow so effortlessly to make a great match Hogan said no one was better than rock at that.

Hulk Hogan wasn't a "technician" because he was never suppose to be. But Terry, man f you ever watched any o fhis stuff when he was over in Japan. it is mind blowing how technical Hogan could actually be especially for his size.

There have been way better matches lol, if you're referring simply to the crowd reaction that's a different story

​@@grant1739lol dur lol dur

Not just the crowd, but the story and significance relating to these icons, especially Hogan: the Golden Boy and most important wrestler in history.

Did you watch a different interview than me? Because at 7:09 he gives the Rock credit for being able to call an audible and then at 7:20 he says he knew Hall and Nash were coming down after.

He knew, he just wasn't expecting Nash to lose himself.

Toronto never really liked the rock. they love stone col and hogan tho

@@meladgoat Why? Did Rock screwed Bret too?

​@@meladgoatyall be lying for nothing...

The end of Attitude Era was on May 6th 2002, with the name change. It ain’t rocket science.

The end of the Attitude Era was April 1, 2001 when Austin turned heel and joined Vince. The entire Attitude Era was all about Austin overcoming all that Vince and the Corporation threw at him and decimating them in his style. When he joined Vince, he became the very thing he swore to destroy. And therein spelt the end of the Attitude Era.

@@AxeDharme some people see it that way, but no the end was May 6th 2002, with the name change. That’s final.

@@StraightEdgeKnight19 "That's final" Lmao says who? Unless someone from WWE office said that, your claim too is simply speculation.

@@AxeDharme it’s common sense my man

Man I'm pretty sure alot of the wrestlers marked out , I don't think they could help it , it was probably their first time seeing Hogan in a wwe environment and that kid came out of them bc they couldn't help it

That was my music back then when I was 17. That hard rock MTV 2 stuff.

@@TheEman590 FUSE TV

also same shirt he wore on Joe Rogan

The match was great because the crowd cared. That's the point. You worded it like Hogan and Rock shouldn't take credit for the quality of the match.

@jackhughes7637 I never said without the crowd this match would have sucked did I? If you watched the match it goes without saying Hogan and Rock put on a great show but the crowd made it the best wrestmania match ever.

@@davidescanio2929 Fair enough, I just interpreted it differently

No problem life long wrestling fan here don't like the new stuff old school rules for me

PAUSE😂

I think he's got Ric Flair coming up soon?

The rock

@@tonywong8134 😍

Right 💯

I agree

It would have been a 50/50 split in crowd reaction

We will never know it. Since late 1999 Rock was as loved as Austin . Maybe yes, maybe not. Who knows

Austin still would have been booed, Austin and rock were almost equal in fanbase with the edge going to the rock since he had the ladies also...

That was hogans night he was gunna be cheered against anyone especially in Toronto

Watch Hogans Japan matches

Lex Luger didn't fail. Saying Lex Luger failed is saying Seth Rollins was a more successful champion than Brock Lesnar. Lex Luger didn't win the championship because he was Vince McMahons champion and Bret hart won the belt at Wrestlemania because he was the creatives champion that included Patterson and Brisco. Nobody was the people's champion. The house shows of 93 with Yokozuna as a main event facing all sort of baby faces apparently drew more money than Bret Hart as a champion in 94 and house shows pretty much prove that. And it can be checked online in sites. Just because certain people have some praise for Bret Hart and shift the blame completely on Diesel and Luger for their agenda. Diesel and Luger still drew more money for WCW. NWO and Luger was a top merchandise seller behind NWO, Goldberg and Sting. When Bret Hart was the champion WWF was drowning, he went to WCW and also did nearly nothing to the ratings or house shows. People saying Luger failed probably don't know that Bret hart and Shawn Michael were low card talent when Luger was a main event for NWA and WCW. Bret and Shawn only got the belt because Patterson who was the head of creative was in favor of pushing good in ring workers over guys with the look and presence.

That was the original match they planned but Austin declined and passed it to Rock. He felt he could work better with Scott Hall...which is how we got Austin v Hall at WM 18

I remember it for it’s overall great energy.

It wasn't in the Tokyo dome tho!

@@BlackFrostMusic It was legendary. The energy, the importance of the match, the occasion, the masterclass from Hogan, turned himself into the biggest babyface in the company again, and one month later he's got the belt.

Mick Foley, HHH, Royal Rumble.

He deserves the crap he gets. But he should also be celebrated

The crap he gets is well deserved. His lies over the years are a joke. He's Hulk Hogan, he doesn't need to tell so many obvious lies, the things he can actually take credit for should be enough. But no....he needs to inflate his legacy with bullshit. Despite all his accomplishments,he must be a very insecure man to tell so many lies

He deserves respect but at the same time he's brought a lot of negative feelings towards him for being racist, lying and not wanting to job to anyone so he's been selfish lol

​@@alexandermacdougall7873obsessed

John Cena is every bit as famous.

That's just because it was Rock vs Hogan and Hogan had been gone from the WWE for so long, hell we've seen plenty of better matches in nxt alone just not two icons

I don't think so. Steve has a more likeable aura

​@@jackhughes7637how and the rock was the people champ

@@teeluc6889 Steve was truly the people's champ. Not by name, but by attitude. Coming from a real red collar family. The guy was more relatable and was pissed off. People love that.

@@jackhughes7637 what is a red collar family 😂The Rock use to get the biggest pops yeah Steve was that dude but the rock could work the crowd like nobody before

@@teeluc6889 He didn't. Steve had the louder reactions and made the most money. That's just how it was.

Right? Hogan's matches may not have been flashy, but he at least knew how to get people in the palm of his hand and have people invested in the story side of the match.

Hard to tell where the truth lies brother 😅

After his photo with chop-ripped chest while smiling like a puppy - I don't think so.

As they said they made an audible because of the crowd

Where did you get that from? From Papa Meltzer

@@AzulaNoSurname__16 The red and yellow first returned in April, weeks after Mania.

From hogan’s autobiography.

Lucky for you he was never a racist. People have been regurgitating the same shit for so many years and eventually, it has become the truth. The truth nothing has been said that Hulk Hogan is a racist. I also believed initially that he was racist because of his use of the n-word. But I asked myself, have I ever heard a black wrestler say that Hulk Hogan treated them badly because of their skin color? No, I have not.

Everyone is a little racist

That's such BS. Ask Booker T how racist Hulk Hogan is.

Then why are you wasting your time here!

@@bdot187um because RU-vid put it in my home part I guess but you must be a liar too

@@JayB4rmOkc you can easily click on (not interested) & he won't show up again on your feed & oh mr.holier than thou here...like you never lied before ha!

​@@JayB4rmOkcThen just put not interested, it's that simple

What?

No he’s not

Stop hatin kid!

We got a truther over here
