  • you can tell shits sooo different....like the whole nWo persona of hall hogan and nash arent the same as they were in wcw....you can kinda tell hogan hated the entire idea of nWo in WWe

  • The last epic wrestlemania...now all the wrestlemanias are like a regular PPV.

  • I love when Howard Finkel announce "representing the NWO", man i have goosebumps.

  • How in the world was this not the main event?

    There was no way possible that Triple H-Jericho would be able to follow this.

  • @TheBryanSaraShow Lol ikr jericho and triple h topping the greatest match of all time is ridiculous

  • when hogan still got it..

  • fuck hulk hogan the cunt

  • on the Hulk Hogan Anthology DVD, they used different music for this entrance for some reason.

  • nwo 4 life

  • fuck the rock aka (cock)

  • I propose that WWE produces a "Rise & Fall of the NWO" DVD documentary.

  • @mitalca35

    Five hour commentary from Vigril.

  • Oh god imagine Cena doing his entrance when he's 50.... :S

  • Toronto=The great Wrestlmania crowd of all time.

  • Hogans entrance is SO FUCKING EPIC!

    Hogan could have killed someone that night and still got big pops. He was heel and Rock was the biggest face. But the fans were all behind Hogan.

  • lol "perhaps the future of this industry"

  • oh fuck.. in my memory he came into the ring with voodo child blaring off the speakers :) well second best thing anyways ;)

  • only hulk hogan and cm punk can get this huge of a pop when they are a heel. even though they did so much bad stuff before that.

  • @therocksmackdown1 What cm punk? pssh the rock got pops even was he was heel 1998, 1999, 2003. Punk got pops once he started feuding with cena and threatened to leave the company before that no one was cheering for punk when he was the leader of the SES or nexus

  • @marie90 Exaclty. CM punk is a nobody. He shoots on The Rock, he hates The Rock. Search on youtube: CM Punk shoots on The Rock.

  • @Vforvendetta555 I know i've seen the video and the one were he goes on the news and says he doesnt like the rock, he's just doing all this to get attention, which is pretty desperate if you ask me, I mean is the self proclaimed "best in the world" really feeling that insecure about himself that he needs to talk down on a legend to come off as big how pathetic.

  • Comment removed

  • Hogan, AT THIS TIME, would of been cheered anywhere, including the States

  • Amazing. Fans respected the returning veteran over the mega-star that they're tired of. It happened 10 years ago, & it will happen at WM 28.

  • @ChicagoMadeBill99 This is a little different. People loved Hogan, but a lot of people liked The Rock as well. Today, people love Rock, but NO ONE likes Cena.

  • HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN HOGAN

  • Crowd was 90% Hogan.....but they tried to make it seem like it was 50-50

  • I Was there it was electrifying hollywoods entrance the biggest icon in wrestling ever

  • @fadethetrade WWE didn't have rights to the NWO theme when they put out the DVD's with this match so they altered it a little.

  • which music was it? I saw other videos and the music was slower and a little different.

  • we all know hogan's a trailblazer, charismatic and a legend in his own right but going up against the rock in his prime, his candy ass will definitely get whoop by the great one.

  • @ogie ANd you forgot,created the entertainment this sport needed back in 1980.He was a first to put wrestling in the living rooms of all the industrialized nations in the world.the rock still had a babysitter for nights when hogans good friend,rocks father,rocky johnson,went out with hulk!! Hulk is a legand,the rock is a link in the chain and so is austin.Attitude era only lasted 6 yrs.

  • 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • In Hulk Hogan's book, he mentions that when he came out from the back and the NWO music is blarring... he even got goosebumps.... because the crowd was SO LOUD. nWo for Life

  • Hulk Hogan, NWO theme, The Rock, Howard Finkel announcing, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on commentary...

    doesn't get any better than this!

  • Love the way when he completely rips the shirt off, the music stops and the colour returns to the screen.

  • NWO Hollywood Hulk Hogan 4 44 444 4 Life!

  • @DCMAC12 And the lower championship like the European championship ones were big matches. But on your last point, isnt it better that they hit it perfectly? or do u have a reason? just asking.

  • @DCMAC12

    That's because it was Hogan vs Rock. Remember HBK vs Undertaker?

  • @DCMAC12 Remember that this was the PPV that Booker T and Edge feuded over shampoo? Remember that this was the PPV with lackluster build and a world title match that buried Chris Jericho for several years after thus? Nostalgia is fun; WWF 2002 less so...

  • @misterwishart Remember when I said the old WWF was perfect all the time? Yeah, me neither. Obviously they didn't churn out gems every single night. It's still leaps and bounds better than modern WWE.

  • @DCMAC12 Except it wasn't. This Wrestlemania sucked ass and 2002 as a whole was godawful. 2003 wasn't much better, modern WWE at least has a bunch of really talented wrestlers, even if the booking and creative kinda sucks. Orton/Christian alone makes 2011 better than those previous years

  • @misterwishart You're kidding right? CM Punk/Orton are the only talented wrestlers they have. But back in the WWF they'd be so so. Christian was nothing in the WWF, and now he's main eventing when he's almost washed up. Shows how good the WWE is now.

  • @DCMAC12 What kind of logic is that? That's like me going back and saying "Wow, look at Rock at WM13. He sucks ass. He's main eventing now? Attitude Era must have sucked balls" Christian was indeed nothing. Except, you know, one half of the greatest tag teams of all time. And if you watch him now compared to 2002 (i.e DDP/Christian from this very PPV) you'll see he's improved massively, hence WHY he is main eventing right now.

    Plus, you're saying Punk and Orton; Daniel Bryan & Ziggler say hi.

  • @misterwishart Daniel Bryan? WHAT? The guy can't hold his smile back for one second. Good wrestler, but crappy entertainer.

  • goosebumps watching this. the nwo was the best thing to happen to wrestling

  • this was the shit...listen the cround...wrestlemania 27 sucked...the croud has chanting boring!!!!

  • I Respect Hogan Just For The NWO Era Thats The Best Thing He Ever Done And He Knows It

  • This crowd single-handedly turned Hogan face going forward. Amazing.

  • Lol Hogan Doesnt Noe The Word retired!

  • Listen to these Hogan pops! Rock was toast before they ever fought.

  • i love the kings reference to babe ruth vs barry bonds hahaha pre steriod era

  • You gotta love how the fans just throw everything off,,,,,Hogan was the heel and was cheered the entire match and the rock was boo'd

  • @MrCHITOWN247 haha the rock was cheered too

  • RIP nWo

  • I love his Voodoo Child entrance but this was still epic.

  • the day the nWo died for reals

  • This isn't even the music he came out to...

  • Greatest MOMENT in wrestling

  • I used to like austin alot but after his fued with scott hall his popularity went down not just for me but I am sure for alot of people, his ego was too big for his boots, to not want to job to scott hall at wm, pathetic, scott hall best bad guy ever, scott hall hogan nash helped make proffessional what it was before this pg era cena crap, people like the nwo the undertaker and the rock hhh hbk are unique and once in a life time superstars, they all > cena

  • @lethal22 It's the fact Austin fans don't want to admit (and I'm a huge Austin fan), but you're right, he was getting quite stale in early 2002, but many have swept it under the rug and deny it when it's brought up. He needed that time off from the walkout to come back fresh in early '03

  • It should have been Austin vs Hogan

  • Youngarnold I don't think u are a die hard wrestling fan. Rock did walk out that whore. It's not about pay all the time. Most people who are in wrestling do it cause they love it. And if you aren't that much involved then u should not be brought up as a star as rock was turned into. And if u have a problem wresting 300+ days stay the fuck away from it the first place.

  • 280 pounds my fucking ass

  • wtf now hogan is in tna ??

  • SkyDome was not the greatest place for Hogan. He lost to the Ultimate Warrior in the SkyDome too.

  • @Tyrone2184 It depends how you look at it. Yes it was a great place for Hogan, because he gave The Ultimate Warrior what he himself received 6 years earlier. He passed the torch. And it wasn't a great place because he passed the torch to the wrong person.

  • @fatguyinlittlecoat86 I was speaking purely in scripted terms, but I see your point completely. Yeah Warrior wasn't nearly as big of a draw as Hogan was at the time. However I will always cheer on new acts in the main event and attempts at giving other wrestlers a chance to carry the ball.

  • that theme is the best

  • FUCK THIS CROWD!!!

    ROCKY for Life.

    The Rock isnt an overrated Piece of crap who cant wrestle!

  • @hhh4evur he did walk out on the fans who made him though, and to be a tooth fairy no less

  • @hbk4eva1

    The Rock "walked out"? Let's see here? Would you rather crisscross the country night after night away from family getting thrown around a wrestling ring for 280+ days a year, or would you take a bunch more money and star in movies?

    You're an idiot if you think The Rock "walked away"

  • @youngArnold29 forgive my idiocy for a moment, but are you saying the rock DIDNT walk away? So, are you suggesting he's still involved in wrestling? Of course he walked away. That last bit makes no sense.

    And I would rather wrestle 300 days a year. Why? Because I love wrestling. If youre a wrestler, one would assume you love wrestling also. You have to be passionate about what youre doing, and for the rock to bitchslap the fans who made him, for a bigger pay day, proves he's just a whore

  • @youngArnold29

    you just answered your own question....he walked away b/c he didn't want to be on the road 300 days a year and get paid less than half of what he's making now but that proves exactly why he walked out

  • @hhh4evur

    The Rock is garbage. A mediocre actor zero talent.

  • Hogan should had won the match damn it!!!! fans were chanting for him the whole match

  • am i the only one who thinks that the fink is the best ring announcer of all time !

  • @big1975leo no you're not alone

  • @big1975leo - I totally agree! Best ring announcer EVER!

  • @big1975leo Yes The Fink is the Best Ring Announcer of all time. I agree with you 100% with that :).

  • This shoulda been the last match. I heard so many people left right after this match.

  • Listen to the ovation *____*

  • fuck the immortal hulk hogan HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN IS THE FUCKIN MAN

  • Hogan should've won this match.The Rock is a sell-out...

  • hogan for president!

    great times! :D

  • [nWo]

  • i hate this canada fans they booed the rock canada sucks canadians have no class that why they kiss the peoples ass

  • Yo why the hell did i hate the nWo when i was a lil boi??? i love this shit now!!

  • I prefer Heel Hogan. I was never a fan of face Hogan. This entrance best entrance ever. The fans in Skydome loved Hogan.

  • intros back in the day destoy the new intros. theres no emotion or feelin anymore. its all fast, no great story modes. i miss this. wrestling is dead my friends =( after the greats retire it is done

  • Coolest entrance ever!!!!!!

  • Hogan is the most overrated wrestler ever. I'm probably going to get hated on, but it's true. Could he work the crowd? Yes. Could he work in the ring? For the most part of his career, no. He was good in Japan, but apart from that...

  • @ARobb5 I don't think fans like you will ever grasp the concept of professional wrestling fully..yes it is nice to watch guys like Benoit, Eddie, Angle, and others but Hogan was a great storyteller in the ring, even though he couldn't pull of great moves. That's what matters most. It's not always just about what moves you can do.

  • @BigFlats01 I understand that. But I'm a pure wrestling fan. I do appreciate a good storyteller - and I admit, Hogan is one of the best - but a wrestling match can't be great unless it has great wrestling. That's why guys like Eddie, Benoit, Angle etc are involved in some of the greatest matches of all time.

    As a pure wrestler, he's overrated. As an entertainer, he's definitely top 3, no doubt about it.

  • F-F-F-FOR LIFE FOR LIFE

  • I am like everyone else is a big nWo fan 4 Life

  • yea and that time he is HHH to but i dont remeber the maening of game HHH

  • They should've played his "Voodoo Chile" nWo theme.

  • I DONT REALLY LIKE HOGAN NOW. BUT DAMN THIS MAY BE THE BEST ENTRANCE IN WM HISTORY!

  • HollyWood Hogan Is my nigga NEW NEW NEW NEW wORLD oRDER

  • This match is a CLASSIC.

  • Heel Hogan> Face Hogan. Face Hogan is just too much BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER. TNA needs heel Hogan

  • i grew up with hogan as a heel so to me he will always be the ultimate heel!! nwo 4life!!!!! p.s tna turn him heel again soon plz.

  • this match was one of the best wrestlemanias ever

  • Is this an original footage where the WWE didn't censor the cheers? Man they're really loud.

  • throughout the entire entrance, the camera could only focus on one anti hogan poster, because 90% were for hollywood and nWo

    shows who the skydome worshiped. never before was a face, been booed at the grandest stage in favor of the heel

  • this was hogans last hurrah the match he had with rock was fantastic no doubt but hogan really needs to learn hes done and step aside now, the fans are sick f hulkamania and all that keeps happening is it gets shoved down our throats, i respect everything hogan has done for wrestling but i really am finding it hard to like the guy when he still acts like hes the biggest thing today and refusing to push the younger guys over his buddies who havent been over in 15 years and will never get over

  • @TheSilverPhoenix100

    hollywood is just 2 sweet. he will always be the man

  • thats understandable as this is the only wrestlemania to feature the nwo!!

  • I would have never thought back then that The Rock would be retired 2 years later, and Hogan would still be active in 2010. Its funny how life goes sometimes.

  • i agreed............

  • it's all about... THE MONEEEEEEYYYYY!

  • man life is not about money its life

  • @johndoh4 yeah its kinda sad in a way, not that Hogan is still active because i love Hogan, but its sad that The Rock left wrestling so young. epically to make movies like race to witch mountain and tooth-fairy.

  • Hogan was great in 2002.

  • ahhh he shoulda used voodoo chile.

  • I think hogan had tha loudest ovation than scott hall with tha nwo theme

  • True that. The entire nwo was majorly over in the WWF. Hall and Hogan had huge pops at wrestlemania 18. Don't let the video fool you, it was a major pop for Hogan and Hall, so much so that WWE brass quieted the crowd reaction on the DVD release of wrestlemania X8.

  • This is true. They actually 100% did quiet the crowd reactions in the DVD release of the event.

    Typical BS WWE move.

  • i taped it that night on dvd,, you couldn't hear JR/KING talk at all, in person at manix18 which i was at, biggest roar every

    toronto is hogan country,, WM28 in rogers centre, maybe hogan does mania a 3rd time in toronto?

  • 4-4-4 LIFE!!

    4 LIFE!!

  • whats so great about having sound??

  • Dear lord what an ovation!

  • hogan was the only wrestler at WM18 that was a part of WM6 at skydome in toronto!!!!!!

  • Actully Edge,Christian,&DDP were also there

  • @masterswagful not as wrestlers though, edge christian and ddp were young

  • john cena needs to make the big heel turn like hogan did into some big stable.... then maybe i'll like him

  • @mae2759 exactly

  • He's not big enough to have the same impact as Hogan.

  • @mae2759 i think so too

  • hogan was right the rock was just the flavor of the month.

  • The Rock was smart about getting out of the business. Too many wrestlers have died young, I miss him but I don't blame him. Don't you see how broken down Hogan is?

  • i totally agree

  • @ThaRatedRSuperstar Hogan is 60 years old dude give him a break. hall nash and hogan flair are all legends and should make tna pretty good

  • @coasteys have you seen tna lately its like 14 mins of wheelchair 6 of any real wrestling and 100 mins of retared backstage crap tna sucks now more than ever

  • nwo hogan is much cooler than the old hulk hogan

  • @MrLos8 they're both f'ing awesome

  • @MrLos8

    cooler? yes

    better? no

  • @MrLos8 Hollywood Hogan brotha! nWo 4-LIFE, nWo was the best faction ever!

  • Austin didnt want to wrestle Hogan. He knew Hogan would eat up the crowd and play mind games

  • that will never happen

    either refuses to lose

    hogan dropped for rock, but never for austin or bret hart

  • PROBABLY THE COOLEST ENTRANCE EVER!!!!

    HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN 4-4-4-4-liiife!

  • everyone here is fuckin stupid, this was wrestlemania 18 in toronto and hogan n hall had da same them song dat nite

  • @roberto312 no dumbass. Hall came out to different music

  • same music dumb shit.

  • BRING BACK HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!

  • You can hear booes as well for hogan at the beggining...this crowd was also more of a neutral crowd because rock also got a big pop and when he got the pin alot of poeple went berserk so the crowd was more like 50-50.

  • LOL, you sound like Jim Ross in this video clip ("mixed reaction"). The crowd was about 90-10 in favor of Hogan, and I think I am being generous. Yes, the Rock got cheered in the finish, but that's about it. It wasn't even close.

  • I was actually there so I can tell from seeing live and in color. 90-10? Even you didn't believe that, anyone can tell its anywere around 40-60 or 50-50 by just watching the vid...since I was there that night it was very and I mean very close for both guys...but don't take it so seriously kid...its just a crowd reaction we're talking about here...

  • I have watched the match on TV a lot of times and Hogan is getting monster cheers while Rock is getting anywhere from moderate cheers to audible booing (even a "Rocky sucks" chant at one point). You're right they cheered the ending, but outside of that i don't see how anyone can say it was 50-50. I think Hogan/Warrior from 1990 was 50-50. Hogan/Rock was not even close, IMO. My buddy was there live and he normally hates Hogan but cheered him because everyone else did (his words, not mine).

  • Nah, I'm not taking it seriously at all. It is just a crowd reaction. I just disagree, that's all. Based on what they showed on TV and from those I have heard who were there live, the crowd reaction was largely in favor of Hulk. I mean 90-10 was an exaggeration, but I think 50-50 is incorrect as well.

  • have to agree with vladiator, its not anywere near 90-10, and from someone who was there I can tell you it was about 50 for rock and 50 for austin. Maybe a little more for hogan since it was like a homecoming for him.

  • The pop he got over the Rock was rightfully deserved. I like the Rock, but Hogan back in the WWE, back in wrestlemania, was just too enormous.

  • Lets clear this shit up right now:

    *This is the original entrance.

    *Hogan DID come out to the nWo theme at WMX8, theme is called "Rockhouse"

    *On all DVDs they dubbed it over with a generic rock song called "Garbage Bullshit, Who Would Ever Dub This Over The Iconic nWo Theme" theme

  • Just Vince McMahon trying to butcher the nWo in favor of DX, which if it weren;t for the nWo, there would be no DX. nWo 4 LIFE

  • NWO = BIGGER THAN THE INDUSTRY

  • This is official nWo theme WWE version called poison with static at the start and if actually fans who commenting on this knew that they wouldn have to ask. WWE losts rights to use frank shelleys nWo theme because they never paid for em out right wcw did this a lot including bookers and harlem heat theme wcw leased out the music for shows etc for small fee after all bisch spent money like nobodys business but wwe purchased it for invasion because booker wanted it.

  • is this a wwe version of nwo entrance it sounds slightly difrent plus hogans entrance was dif to the rest of the nwo he had hendrix playing the first half of his song

  • I never got why they broguth the nWO to WWE? Thats a WCW thing, just didnt make sense.

  • how come on this same night scott hall came out to a different theme?

  • he didnt

  • yea he did

  • no he didnt

  • I saw this show on the Wrestlemania anthology set and it does have a different song. I do not know if the original song was played live and later edited or what happened but I was disappointed to hear in my dvd a song that wasnt the original stuff.

  • no he didn't

  • Actually he did man. Check for wmx8 videos here on youtube or rent the Wrestlemania Anthology version of this show. Youll hear a different tune.

  • He came out to the nWo theme but it was edited on the DVD.
