"He beat André the Giant with that move!" is an all-time great call.

[nabinkhadka]

Perfect example of how crowd involvement can make the match legendary. Kudos to Rock and Hogan for improvising the match accordingly

Hogan : I'm the heel.
The Crowd : That doesn't work for me brother.

[ballingaming]

The fact hulk has known rock since he was a child had to be a surreal moment

[dorbei]

This match is an absolute masterclass in wrestling psychology. Hogan and Rock basically fulfill an unscripted double turn without actually straying from the script. Genius!

[eunicron]

I was there. Hogan got the loudest reaction I've ever heard at any kind of live event. Unreal.

[erikmunoz]

Jim Ross literally put over Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan and The Rock with his “He beat Andre the Giant with that move” call! I never not get goosebumps!

[latravisgriffin]

Rock really got 2 top 5 matches and both came in back to back years

Finally, The Rock and Hulk Hogan match at WrestleMania X8 has come back to YouTube.... This time with the entrances!!!

[TheMagicianBee]

Hogan’s ’hulk up’ in this match is a top 5 Wrestlemania moment for me along with Hogan slamming Andre and Austin bleeding in the sharpshooter.

Hogan said it himself in an interview, that The Rock called an audible in this match and changed some things up once they realized the crowd favored Hogan. He also said his body wasn't in good shape at the time and The Rock made sure to take care of him.

The Rock selling the leg drop like a cartoon character getting squashed by a fridge was amazing

[youregonnapay]

Hulk Hogan was the only wrestler who can do nothing in the ring for 10 minutes and the crowd will be on their feet.

I remember this match so vividly not only because it was so memorable, but also because WrestleMania X8 happened the day I got back from military deployment after 9/11. I literally arrived back into the day room of my dormitory, noticed the television was on right in the middle of Hogan's entrance. And as someone who grew up watching wrestling during the golden era, it was a surreal moment to have a flashback to my childhood after returning back from being deployed during war time. Will never forget it!

"HE BEAT ANDRE THE GIANT WITH THAT MOVE!!!!" - Best Call of all Also, it's not about wrestling, its about emotion. It's about story. It's about the involvement the fans have with the characters. This is the perfect explanation of fan involvement in a match.

[paranoidewok]

Graduation present was tickets to this. To be in the crowd as an 18 yr old hulkmaniac was amazing. This guy was my hero.

[jasonandrews]

The definition of aura. The most wrestlemania a match has ever been

[randomtrainerx.]

The transition from "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan to "Real American" Hulk Hogan throughout this match was so electrifying. The fans were so behind him from bell to bell.

[faisalkhayaam]

The fact that the rock has 2 top 5 wrestlemania matches is just another reason why he is the great one.

[youregonnapay]

This encapsulates everything that is professional wrestling. Truly the Greatest sports entertainment match ever nothing can top the excitement of this match.
