The Rock vs Hulk Hogan, “Icon vs. Icon”. An attendance record-shattering 68,237 fans jam-packed Toronto’s storied SkyDome to bear witness the absolute best from two generations. When the two stood face-to-face and the electricity from the crowd and the flashes of camera light illuminated the space all around them, it was quite evident that one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history was about to take place. The classic staredown, the look to the crowd. The throng of people were behind both stars, but mostly Hulk Hogan. The first lock up. Hogan shoves Rock down. The crowd cheers heartily for the villain.
