Top 10 Moments of The nWo

#4 Icon vs Icon

In what initially seemed like a match people thought they'd never see actually went down at WrestleMania X8, when two of the biggest icons in Professional Wrestling history went toe-to-toe with each other at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Prior to Hollywood Hogan's return to the WWE in 2002, The Hulkster had already established himself as one of the biggest superstars in the Professional Wrestling industry and with the backup of The New World Order, Hogan was a man possessed.

Similarly, The Rock, who on the other hand, transitioned from one of WWE's promising mid-carders' and eventually established himself as the company's top superstar alongside 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.

At WrestleMania X8, The Rock finally stepped foot into the ring for the very first time against Hulk Hogan and as expected, the two men went on to put together an absolute instant classic with The People's Champion coming out on top as the victor.
