Rock vs Hogan at Wretlemania 18, two of the most overrated performers in the business. People remember the dueling crowd chants more than the actual match itself.
I don't remember ANY dueling crowds, just the crowd vs The Rock. The crowd wasn't divided, they knew exactly who they wanted to see killed that night: Dwane fuckin' Johnson. The were united under the greatest intangible force in professional wrestling history: Hulkamania. The 6th man of our great sport.
No, they are not great in ring scientists, no, they don't have the most versatile move sets, but Hulk Hogan always admitted it. His power, came from the Hulkamaniacs. It was an intangible force known only as Hulkamania, though no one could explain quite what it was, what it did, or how it worked..... Wrestlemania X8 proved it's unrelenting existence.
Hulkamania was real, Hulkamania was surging through that entire crowd at levels not seen since the 80's... and Hulkamania was running wild, after years of remaining in hibernation.
Hulk Hogan is not a professional wrestler, I'll admit it. He's got three punches, a boot and a leg drop.
Hulk Hogan is the man, Hulk Hogan is an immortal figure of Americana, and Hulk Hogan is god, because he does absolutely nothing, and gets EVERYTHING in return. His finger wave is more powerful than a thousand codebreakers.
Cupping that ear > Sharpshooter. Just ask the buyrates.
note: No, I don't believe Hogan is better than Bret in any way, just playing devil's advocate.
