Definitely.

Rock might be far more athletic than Hulk Hogan, and he may have had technically better matches than Hogan, but no one can touch the Hulkster when it comes to telling a story in the ring. Hogan was the reason that Mania X-8 was so amazing. He just "gets it" when it comes to cultivating the "big match atmosphere."

I have watched Rock/Hogan at least a dozen or more times, and it's always enjoyable, because something about it just screams "iconic." Even though I know exactly what will happen, I love watching that god damn match. It just has a "feel" to it, unlike any other match I think I've ever seen, save perhaps RVD/Cena and MITB 2011.

I've tried to re-watch Rock/Cena 1 and 2 several times, and usually end up falling asleep or turning it off. It lacks everything that made Rock/Hogan so special.
