I know a lot of you will think that I'm full of crap about these 2 that I will mention, but anyway here goes.
1.)The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan @ WMX8--the crowd was evenly split in their enthusiasm for BOTH superstars and I think that gave them both the energy they needed to wrestle one of the greater WM matches in the past 3-5 years...and even after, I think, 2 or 3 rock bottoms by The Rock, Hogan still wouldn't give up. For a guy his age to have the ring presence/endurance in this kind of match is simply amazing. And win Rock finally did win the match, Hogan still had the good charisma and sportsmanship to shake hands with Rock. But the best part about all of this, IMO was the following night on RAW (3/18/02 ep., IIRC), where Rock had Hogan come out and the crowd was all into it and everything, until nWo showed up and then Rock told Hogan why didn't he just rip up the nWo shirt he had on and let them know what he really thought of them? So he does and basically, I think this strengthened the real-life friendship of Hogan/Rock.
2.) The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin @ WMXIX--I may be thinking more of another great moment here but if I am I'm at least willing to admit it. This was one of the very few matches I have ever gotten to see where Rock was playing a heel. And I just absolutely loved when Rock put on Austin's vest and gave him the rock bottom and a stunner in it (wearing it) and overall it was a pretty decent match that could've been better and I know a lot of people will disagree with me on the outcome but I loved how Rock won the match with The People's Elbow. GR8 stuff!
