There ain't no goddamn 10 moments in pro wrestling that is bigger than the Rock vs Hogan dream match. Its bigger than Sting vs Hogan from 97, Warrior vs Hogan, and Flair vs Hogan from Bash at the Beach 94.
Just watched Hoegan/Warrior at WMVI. Blassic
- Thread starter OH SOHH TRILL
- Start date
LOL You can only say that if you were'nt around to see each each and every one of these matches in the 90s and 2000's
Hogan-Rock didn't go on last because there was nothing real at stake and it was one retirement act vs a soon-to-be part-timer.
the Toronto audience even booed Rock because knew the pass-the-torch booking was lame.
The natural match that would have made sense was Hogan v Austin.
Neither can compare to Hogan's longevity.
And Rock never quite matched Austin's peak. Part of the blame for that is on Vince for jobbing Rock to Hunter et al repeatedly, including the unforgivable Mania 2000.

Rock in 2000 outdrew Austin's peak years and in 99, even though he was heel half the year, outdrew Austin. Come back to reality. They can boo the Rock anytime but they paid BIG MONEY to boo his ass out.
Do you know how huge the Rock was, kid? They named their video game line and TV show after him. Wake up.

Hogan/rock should’ve been the last match more triple h fukk shyt 
I was looking at some mid-90’s WWF PPVs and I saw Warrior getting a push then. I have no recollection of this at all.I must’ve been too into Nitro.
He beat HHH in a squash match. He challenged Goldust for the IC belt and Goldust ran away and got DQ’ed. Then he jumped in to save HBK and Ahmed Johnson from Owen, Bulldog and Vader.
I swear I don’t remember any of this shyt. I thought he left in the early 90’s and wasn’t seen again til WCW in the late 90’s.
They brought him back when the company was struggling financially, because they thought he would ignite business. But he was only around for three or four months. He got fired for skipping house shows and complaining about money. The only reason he agreed to come back in the first place was to use the WWE to promote his comic book that he had coming out.
The most memorable part of his run was him burying HHH at Mania...

Also worth noting Hoegan couldn't do the clean job here, just like with Macho. Had to work in the whole leg injury so it looked like it wasn't a fair fight in the end and even tried to get Warrior some heat with it.

that's traditionally how big faces were protected in loses in the 70s and 80s. Always a built in excuse and whoever beat them NEVER won just because they were the better wrestler.Dusty Bake Activate
Fukk your corny debates
It wasn’t worse than the 91 Survivor Series when Undertaker beat him for the belt by tombstoning him on a chair Flair put in the ring, and this orange drama queen took up 10 minutes of valuable air time on a PPV faking unconsciousness and getting removed on a stretcher just to show there’s no way he could’ve been pinned unless he was out cold and injured.Also worth noting Hoegan couldn't do the clean job here, just like with Macho.

Earlier in the match he also no-sold a clean tombstone. He got tombstoned and just popped right back up.
