The Rock Vs. Hulk Hogan [Part 1/3]

[redomega24]

Mixed reaction? LoL I never heard the call by J.R. until now... and there were maybe 3 or 4 peeps cheering for the Rock in the entire stadium... I'll never forget pregaming downtown and seeing people everywhere on the street pumping up for Hogan.... this was Hogan's curtain call regardless of what he did after... for people who didn't grow up with him in the 80's they'll never understand his impact and what he meant to people back then.

[MrJonnyl123]

lol at hogan at 8.42. he is such a shit wrestler its unreal and so overated. kent believe they cheered him over the rock

[ramlall210]

not hogan's theme or was it?

[ZombiieT]

@ramlall210 NWO theme

[dalecampbl8]

I cannot believe the # of people who like to go to these events

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

I must say. The winner for crowd reaction, goes to Hogan.

[66lyrics66]

@ISetYourFaceOnFire agreed

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

One of the biggest pops in WWE/WWF history. 

[PUTS31]

at 6:44 the guy on the bottom of the screen was really into it haha

[brosephgoebbels1]

people complaining about wrestling nowadays saying they cant wrestle... actually the matches are by far technically superior...however todays wwe is crap because there is absolutley no atmosphere in the arena and i suppose that has to do with there being no good characters worth getting emotionally invested in, but yes todays crowds are weak! as is the commentary

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

@brosephgoebbels1 I agree. This entertaining...but the wrestling is actually legitimate The crowd is dead quiet..all the time. The pop Taker got was ridiculous...in a bad way. Then again, it should be because you shouldn't be cheering. You should be silent, admiring the present that The Undertaker brings with him.

[rayatum15]

From 5:20-6:54 After hearing that crowd go almost completely "Hulkamania" I wonder what the Rock was thinking LOL. Hulkamania 4 Life.

[captainfancybumpenza]

THUMBS UP IF WATCING IN 2012

[jmclaug7]

I was at this. It was UN-FUCKING-REAL. Hulkamania was reborn at Wrestlemania 18! 

[gunit421]

@jmclaug7 i was there too

6th row ringside

still have my chair

[jmclaug7]

@gunit421 nice, I wasn't nearly as close as you, must have been awesome!

[Usama600]

add kane to that list

[AJDavis124]

u have to put shawn michaels in the category of best legends ever

[MrSnapRm]

Thumbs up if your a Hulkamaniac, I am!

[MrSnapRm]

The Nation vs The New World Order at Wrestlemania 28! My Dream Match!

[jaysonaschenbrenner]

Either Hulk isn't 6'7" or The Rock is taller than 6'5" because they were exactly eye level with each other.

[Martygse]

@jaysonaschenbrenner Hogan is 6'6, looks the inch or so taller during the staredown too

[Martygse]

@jaysonaschenbrenner Plus he has "settled down" a bit height wise

[jaysonaschenbrenner]

@Martygse I actually just read something the other day that said the Hulk was/is only 6'2" but wore built up boots. I guess 6'7" was just his billed height.

[Martygse]

@jaysonaschenbrenner Thats bullshit, clearly not near 6'2

[jaysonaschenbrenner]

@Martygse but if he's wearing boots that are built up in the heel it'll make him look taller.

[Martygse]

@jaysonaschenbrenner Possibly, but without them he's still his 6'6ish

[Martygse]

@jaysonaschenbrenner Rock has like the same boots too

[ISetYourFaceOnFire]

@Martygse He's 6 foot 3 after surgery.

[Martygse]

@ISetYourFaceOnFire Doubt it, where'd you hear that?

[rayatum15]

@jaysonaschenbrenner He was 6'7 as a young adult but wresting for 2 decades and doing the leg drop (hitting his tail bone) curved his spine. He went down to 6'4. He had surgery last year to straighten his spine, and is currently 6'5.

[LILTECH1218]

The Rock > Hulk Hogan

[mrquackadoodlemoo]

hulkamania still runs wild

[provenelk]

Theres an interview with Hogan about this match where he says that even him trying to kill the rock in the build up to the match couldnt stop all the fans, no matter what he did he was always the most popular.

hulkamania will never die

[204manpreet]

god, this clip always pumps me up when hogan throws the rock like a barbie doll!!

[pab75]

One of the best matches ever for Wrestlemania

[TheAkimasu]

i love rocks old music!

[DatGizzyLoc]

i wish this was austin vs hogan

[reTrashCycled]

10:12 + 10:05 + 10:28=30:45 show between 2 epic legendaries of wwe wooowooowooo!!

[TheFoxfang4]

Proudest moment as a Torontonian. Legendary crowd reaction. 

[pilgremage13]

Wasnt hogan ment to be heel then??

[Martygse]

@pilgremage13 Running trucks into ambulances, hell, look at the MATCH. Getting cheered against the companys top babyface choking him with a shoelace

[BoneThug223]

@pilgremage13 Toronto cheers for heels. Like New York or Chicago.

[TheBigGman101]

after bwe take on lex luger and the giant we going for the gold suckaa hulk hogan we comin for yo-IT DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU'RE GOING FOR

[urAHbusta]

hogan sucks the rock just kick his old ass in this match

[urAHbusta]

hogan sucks stone cold steve austin would whoop his ass anyday

[kakanutz1981]

rock really knows how to sell properly

[Absmanthegamer]

@SeanMBryans charisma 5:49 next time watch the match before you trol....., Farout so much fags these days

[edman714]

haha Hogan is a badass love how he is acting all cool and air guitaring ...love it. Best part is when Hogan pushes th eRock twice and starts flexin like only hogan can,gives me goose bumps lol

[bobshouse123]

No-one cares about anything except the first few momentous moments of this match.

[Absmanthegamer]

@Twistedavenged you will never get the crowd like this with rock vs cena cena will get booed badly, the rowed is extremely good

[Absmanthegamer]

Hulk hogan should of won, my top 3 fav wrestlers of all time 1. Hbk 2. Hulk hogan 3. The rock

[129metal]

This was better than the main event...

[voutenixz]

crowd doesn't get this loud anymore



[jpowers55]

@voutenixz did you not watch Night of Champions when Punk made his entrance? Got pretty loud that night.

[gunit421]

not louder than hogan

[KingFrankieD]

2002 hogan vs rocky 2012 rocky vs cena

[divyarajranjansingh]

hulk got more cheer

[CrystalFissure]

Holy shit @ the crowd! It's incredible!

[sheraz180]

the rock is shit

[mxcn316]

@ 9:59 with the "Angel 3:16" sign, that's me!!! I remember that like if it was yesterday...wrestling will never be like that again...

[Hitmonchan107]

@mxcn316 Bullshit that was me!

[traptintime12]

that lion analogy was a good idea, but couldn't be delivered in a worse fashion.

[MrRVDppv2002]

POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gunit421]

its quite pathetic that the wwf fucked with the sound to make it seem like some people were cheering for the rock

[freddy333ful]

The funny thing is the WWE is trying to do the same thing with Rock and Cena, and have Rock put over Cena. The problem is we respected Hogan and Rock during this....we dont respect Cena.

[xelement81]

i remember this like it was yesterday. i was such a big Rocky fan, the entire time watching this i felt like i didnt blink. what happened to wrestling.. i feel bad for kids today no stone cold, no rock, hardy boyz, hell even kurt angle.

[XxFade2123xX]

@xelement81 i know i wish i started watching wrestling earlier i started watching in 07 im so late rite when they changed the arens

[sonicthekid249]

Hogan was shocked by the crowd reaction

[kiwipikito]

how old was hogan here?

[tipsss]

@kiwipikito at least 48-49

[kiwipikito]

@tipsss thanks its just that he looked a lot more fit here than he did in his match with Shawn Michaels a few years back

[azuzaj1]

I love this, The crowd Boos Rock very much in the same manner than Cena gets boo'ed now. And when Wrestlmania hits next year it will be very much like this. With the crowd on the fence but backing the Legend. I cant wait for Rock to put "Boots to Asses" come next year..

[freddy333ful]

@azuzaj1 No, no not the same. We knew the Rock had talent and can work a match, Cena cant.

[azuzaj1]

@freddy333ful The air of the arena is the same. Cena has had some exciting matches, ofcourse he is no Rock but many get his persona confused with his actual in-ring ability, Fact Cena is just as good as hogan, if not better, But Hogan is a legend and changed the face of Wrestling forever with his persona so we give him more credit (deserved credit) But two leaders of different generations are going to have a mixed crowd regardless. Rock Win Lose or Draw, will pass the torch to Cena.

[freddy333ful]

@azuzaj1 I am not a Hogan guy, but Hogan always could work a match regardless of his limited moves. Cena is stiff, doesnt really sell well (Rock over sells at times) and has never carried a match that I have seen him in. Meaning when watching Flair, Shawn, Austin, even Punk, during the match even though the chance is low, they make you believe they might lose the match. Not the case with Cena, HHH, for the majority of Hogans career. His matches dont tell any story. Rock will lose at WM.

[azuzaj1]

@freddy333ful I can agree with that. He usually dose have to be carried for the majority of a match. But he has had some intense matches in the past, but that was before the Super Cena PG era.

[freddy333ful]

@azuzaj1 True about the Super Cena thing. The last match I actually enjoyed with him was vs. Big Show for the US title, although he was corny back then at least he was entertaining.

[azuzaj1]

@freddy333ful Took the words right out of my mouth...

[PINKKYLIELOUISE]

It's wrestlemainia it's hulk hogan no contest

[PorQuaProductions]

275 LBS? damn where does he put it!

[khairol708]

The Rock,Stone Cold,Hulk Hogan,Undertaker Best LEGENDS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pirate09King1]

@khairol708 your forgetting triple h and shawn michaels

[syedaziz786]

@khairol708 u left off GOLDBERG..!

[TheDeadlyArrow]

@khairol708 And HBK ofc..

[superbizko]

@khairol708 Shawn Michaels...

[youngelvisnightowls]

me being a lover of the rock.......but when hogan pushes him to the floor...the reaction of the crowd...the look in the rocks eyes he looks scared...i cant blame him...hulk hogan is a monster of a wrestler...but i still love the rock!!!!!!

[2pacinseattle]

@youngelvisnightowls

What do you mean he is scared?

He may feign scared but hes not, it is staged.

[youngdreadsify]

the wrestlers in wwe have no charisma none stand out and cena gimmick is so old you hate it wwe has fell off only reason wwe does good is cause dey advertise all they merchandise it damn sure aint because the shows are good

[TheFredster2114]

I got major chills just watching this, especially when they started booing The Rock.

Jeez.

[javiermeh]

best part  is 6:39 when hogan hulks up and crowd go NUTS!

[Twistedavenged]

10 years after this, they are trying to do the same thing with the rock and cena,cenas gonna have to work hard to have a legendary match maybe learn more than 5 moves? :\

[anthony19727]

the rock and hogan the same color

[gleb701]

hulk hogan stupid men, the rock super maaaaaaan!!!!!

[MrAwesome667]

Relying on veterans but with most of them gone they are stuck with people who are green as grass. (BTW if you don't get that you can't even talk about wwe because your probably 12 years old) but they are trying to go back to attitude but its gonna take a while. I think some of you are jus being picky personally. If you don't like wwe now and you watch it only for the cursing go TNA or ROH if you want sin cara style fighting. (:

[MrAwesome667]

People who are hating on wwe now shut up. Just shut up. Ok it's wwes fault you wanna bring back stone cold? With his permanent neck injury? Or full time undertaker? Who has permanent injuries in his neck knee and back? I think you people are putting the blame on the wrong people. Remeber wwf before SC or Rock or undetaker? It sucked ass because it's the same as today they need to build up superstars. I will admit it's partially their fault that it's been prolonged because they've always been re

[RobertoFlackTV]

Rock completely owned @ 5:43

[redomega24]

Two of the biggest sellers the business has ever known... you probably could put this in the top 3 best matches of all time from a business standpoint... not much comes close.

[TheUnreaI]

Fake hulk hogan entrance xD

[mazsivee]

the crowd alone makes this match great

[fubia711]

@GenAries11 Yea the WWE was on a respirator at this point, just hanging on as long as it could, but sadly it died shortly after this WM. I know that by WM 19 I was thinking wtf happened in this last year? By WM 21(the year that jackoff cena won the title) i said, "this is it, the WWE has died, i need to accept it, just accept it.... Why god why?! Bring back the Real wrestlers!" I miss HBK,The Rock,Stone Cold,Hogan,Edge,Trish,Lita... Fuck I still miss Bret and Owen.. It will never be good again

[redomega24]

@fubia711 Just a different era now man... back then it was men vs men now its pansy pc jersey shore wanna b's vs no charisma abercrombie model douches.

[alrightlol]

this is pretty much The Rock vs John Cena gonna happen in WM28 Most ppl r gonna boo Cena and cheer for the Rock.

[22narutorocks]

i love the sign your candy ass is next hogan

[manif3stacion]

it looks like they needed a bigger ring!

[SeanMBryans]

I disliked Hogan as a face and even moreso as a heel. The man had no ability in the ring at all . . . Lou Thesz said it best - He claimed his grandmother had a more effective legdrop - Who would know better then Mr. Thesz. A real legend. Hogan could be standing near a trash heap - And the heap would have more charisma.

[kitsterino]

@SeanMBryans 6:36 There Is The Charisma.

[stunningsteveaustin1]

jr:mix reaction here

crowd:HOGAN HOGAN!!

[ludasik06]

Hogan came out with so much swag... The best entrance he ever had

[dillydob1]

Lets see if Rock and Cena can follow this up, In Ring action will be much better in Cena/Rock I think but the crowd will be all Rock so it won't have the atmosphere that this had

[raidendwayne21]

i love the moment in 2:25 when the crowd chanting hogan when he was a heel and he looked suprise when tey chanting he s name

[packman498]

It's so rare to see a really good crowd these days. So many people are busy f'n with their phones whenever something cool happens that they neglect to experience/contribute to the moment. No one wants to see your 30 sec "reaction" video from row 57 f, why not just enjoy the damn show & mark out for your favorite guys once in a while? Crowd pops make good moments great and makes the whole event more fun for everyone...even if youre just watchin on tv.

[netsky51]

then: hogan is was our rock, and now cena is todays rock.

[sportman2536]

I watch 0:00 - 2:05 in 1934 ;)

[smithclifton86]

a good match

[eveque]

 Hogan Should of won this awesome match!

[stylesclash241]

the rock's theme song amazing 

[Ravsta007]

what kind of bullshit entrance music did they put with Hogan? I feel sick!

[LetsGoRW]

Was awesome to see a legend like Hogan to put the Rock over!

[777McLovin777]

Hogans tights and boots are fucking awesome

[mrtamnus1]

This looked really nice in black and white

[driverider]

What's with Hogan's entrance music, where's Hendrix???

[rickjay2011]

@driverider WWE probably didn't wanna pay royalties for using it... cheap asses. lol

[MaDaB1]

legendary thats all i have to say

[harlem9]

Greatest. Crowd. Of. All. Time.

[DirtyFillipino]

@sweeney2321 i would agree, but austin really does not deserve to be in a great match like this. the rock and hogan are true pro's and austin is a punk ass bitch!

[RAV52]

Only Hogan's crowds pop like this. As a heel or a face, when Hogan wrestled you always left the arena with ringing ears and no voice, with the knowledge that you had been in the presence of The Greatest.

[RAV52]

Hogan could get a monster pop inside a morgue... Jesus in wrestling boots.

[Nashlash]

March 17th 2002!!

What a date!What a match!!



[GenAries11]

Notice how this crowd is ALIVE and are on their feets the entire time...THis is when wrestling was wrestling...

[saywhatmane]

@GenAries11 totally agree dude. wrestling now is like watching a saop oprah too much drama and talking!! no wrestling

[stylesclash241]

@saywhatmane yeah thats why the initialism in WWE is now orphaned. in other words its no longer World Wrestling Entertainment. Its just WWE.

[marioRkoBreakerV2]

WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT A GENERIC SHIT DUBBED THEME SONG FOR HOGAN. CHEAP ASS WWE BASTARDS.

[chicorardot]

WHAT WE JUST SAW ITS GONNA BE THE SAME WRESTLEMANIA 28 WITH THE HULK HOGAN OF THE YEARS 2012 JOHN CENASHIT !!! I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE ROCK KICK HIS ASS AND GET RID OF THAT FRUTY PEBBLE COLOR GARBAGE FOR GOOD... THANK YOU ROCK

[Jeremy9314]

It's pretty funny how Hogan is darker than a man who's half black

[chicorardot]

@Jeremy9314 SUN OF FLORIDA DUDE OR BROTHER !!!...........  LLOOOLLLL

[Jeremy9314]

@chicorardot No one asked you fuck stain 

[chicorardot]

@Jeremy9314 you know what !!!...  suck my STRUDELS STUPID BITCH

[iamasoulja]

the rock is the best in my opinion he always entertains u whether its his interviews talking trash or in the ring you cant get tired of him he is a wrestling iconnnn

[nas12271]

Wrestlemania 18 The Rock vs Hulk Hogan and now ten years later....

Wrestlemania 28 The Rock vs John Cena If the Rock loses that match WWE mine as well just cancel the WWE cause ratings will drop

[jmd620]

clearly rock vs. cena is going for the hogan vs. rock idea, just with rock trading places with where he was here. it'll be frigging electric i will tell you that, especially since rock will be in his hometown of miami. if you thought chicago's treatment of cena was rough when he faced punk at money in the bank, miami's reception of cena at wrestlemania is going to probably be the loudest cena has ever been booed. i cannot wait.

[grownman455]

@jmd620 Yea the WWE has to be a little worried about .. Can you picture what the crowd is going to be like once the Rock puts Cena over in the Rocks hometown.. They might have to warm up the private jets and buses early haha. The fans are going to be highly pissed .. Most of the fans want to see Cena lose.. I'm going to see WM28 just to see how fast they pack everything up once they put Cena over because I think it's not going to be pretty in Miami haha..

[TheBlazeAG]

@AmericanDream19 Michael Buffer?

[QCDeViLMaN666QC]

what is this music ? is not nWo Theme

[TKManUTD1989]

@QCDeViLMaN666QC they usually change the music for the dvds

[Caesar516]

best crowd i ever witness:

1) hulk hogan vs the rock (wrestlemania 18)

2) rob van dam vs cena (ecw one night stand)

3) cm punk vs cena (money in the bank)

[bohammed08]

HULK HOGAN IS STILL RUNNIN WILD ON TNA

[MasterLiam]

I hope to god the crowd at Wrestlemania 28 is like this when Cena and The Rock go at it, hopeuflly they won't be like Cena/Miz.....completely dead

[torint64]

This taught wwe a lesson.You CANNOT bring the HUGEST star from a generation ago and have him be evil.It's just not possible.

[91gt306]

its funny how all these fans cheered hogan and booed rock, now these same people are probably regretting that now. because most fans now want rock back and hogan gone lol.

[sujaytumu]

the rock vs john cena wm 18 would be a great match of all time

[luke4rap]

Gotta be the shittest ring anouncer of all time:L

[JBurnah420]

a mixed reaction.... HA!

I don't think one person was cheering for The Rock

[lxtheasimxl]

@JBurnah420

lol u r an idiot...the rock > hogan

[Subliminallll]

This is one of the best matches of all time for the crowd alone, when Hogan Hulks up, and the crowd goes fuckin NUTS, gives me goosebumps every time. The Rock is my favourite of all time...but damn it was good to see Hogan re-igniting the magic. I can guarantee this is what would happen with Rock vs Cena, the fans will dump Cena straight away once they see Rock back in action.

[Kingoftheunknown100]

@Subliminallll they actually did that to cena when he went against hhh and worst at ecw 1 night stand hell at the press conference the fans were actually cheering for the miz over cena

[YogiBearFan1221]

@Subliminallll they've already dumped cena a while go brother

[decor271]

@Subliminallll if only you knew how accurate your predictions would turn out to be lol

[Subliminallll]

@decor271

Crazy huh!? Not long until we see it happen too haha

[Ghoshlad1989]

@Subliminallll there is one major difference between this and wm 28 though people loved rock and hogan and nostalgia turned the fans on hogans side however people hate cena so he would get booed anyway. im just glad its rock kickin his ass

[300MUSIC]

lol king @ 9:55 "that rocked the rock*

lawler said the same thing at wrestlemania 19 at 3:40
