#2 The Rock vs Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania 18)

Ic
Icon vs Icon

There are dream matches and then there is this. The Rock and Hulk Hogan are not just two of the biggest stars in wrestling history, but two of the biggest stars in world history. And when these two icons came face to face at the grandest stages of them all, it was magic.

Now, by this point Hulk Hogan was years past his prime. But the 70,000 fans at the Toronto Skydome collectively decided that it was 1985, and Hulkamania was back just like that, brother.

The fans hung onto every movement of Hogan, and ate up everything that was served to them by their childhood hero. The Rock read the crowd perfectly and let the spotlight shine on the Hulkster.

By the time The Rock got the pinfall win, wrestling history had been made. It is ridiculous to think that the WWE did not have this match as the main event, but at the end of the day - in The Rock's immortal words: "It doesn't matter". This match will live on forever.
