The WWE Universe is buzzing just days away from WrestleMania 41. Superstars are hoping to put on the best matches of their careers, and officials are banking on a packed Allegiant Stadium. With the 41st annual Showcase of the Immortals approaching, the Stamford-based promotion has caused an uproar with a new declaration on The Rock and Hulk Hogan.
WrestleMania X8 was billed as The Absolute Best Ever and The One & Only, with The Rock vs. Hollywood Hogan billed as Icon vs. Icon. The 18th annual WrestleMania PPV was held on March 17, 2002, at the SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in front of more than 68,000 fans, with nearly 900,000 watching at home. The first-ever Rock-Hogan contest went on at 10th, and was the main attraction of the 12-match card, but not the main event as Triple H dethroned Chris Jericho to become the Undisputed Champion.
