>Hogan vs. Rock will probably go down like Hogan vs. Warrior in the same building 12 years ago. It was an epic battle and in the end, Hogan lost, passed the torch, and the guy he passed it to was all the worst for it. Warrior's drawing power declined after beating Hogan. Rock was left in a quandary, as fans actually wanted to boo him and he had to tease a heel turn the next night and go back, just to insure a babyface reaction. The other similarity in both matches is they must have been great live, but when you watch them on tape, they are something else.
>Athletically it was terrible. Psychologically it was great for getting Hogan over and his facials made the match. Hogan was prophetic. Rock came across as just another flavor of the month, like Warrior, Sting, Goldberg and now Rock. People Hogan put over in their epic matches, and in all cases except Rock, where the jury is out, people whose drawing power was never the same, because when it was over, Hogan was still the bigger star.
Lots of mistimed spots. Hogan made a lot of Rock's offense look bad by not going up for him. Some wrestlers thought it was Hogan's cleverness, others blamed it on his injury, but even bringing up the injury, it was noted that when it suited him, Hogan got up just fine. Super heat for most of the match. Hogan made Rock's spinebuster look weak by not going up.
>Rock whipped him with a belt as the crowd continued to boo him. Rock used the rock bottom and Hogan again made it look bad by not going up for it.
>Rock kicked out. Hogan did the foot to the face, which he missed badly, although that one he usually missed in his prime, then missed the legdrop.
>It was similar to Hogan-Warrior in Toronto from a storyline, but Hogan-Warrior had far less sloppiness and missed spots, but this match had more consistent action and less resting. H
