No Hogan mania x8???? That's definitely over Austin 19

I've always preferred the WM19 match over WM18 against Hogan and WM17 against Austin, just due to the character work Rock was putting in in that match as well as the callbacks to previous matches and the back to back to back Rock bottoms to end it. Also it was the perfect sendoff for Austin too.

For a legend of his stature, he has one of the WOAT WrestleMania records.

Cause he's a transcending GOAT there's not too many people that in their peak popularity can take Ls from Al Snow, Bossman, X-Pac, and the Hurricane and come out unscathed. Meanwhile, there's other GOATS that "don't feud with anyone beneath [them]"
