Hey guys, did you enjoy WrestleMania? Can you still not get enough? Well, why not watch a match from Mania's storied past? This one is a big one, the first match that was billed as once-in-a-lifetime, actually. The Icon of the then-present, The Rock, was set to go up against Hulk Hogan, i.e. the franchise of the first nine years of the WrestleMania era. This match was famous for the oddly warm and positive reaction Hogan, decked out in his nWo black and white, received from the Toronto crowd, but it should be remembered for how Rocky deftly orchestrated the crowd to amplify that reaction and roll with the punches. Once upon a time, Rock wasn't a clueless actor with the cardio of an asthmatic shut in.
