10 Biggest First Time Ever WWE Matches
1. Hulk Hogan Vs. The Rock - WrestleMania X8
He may have been erased from the history of World Wrestling Entertainment, but Hulk Hogan is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars wrestling has ever created. Is he the biggest? I'm not too sure, but if a Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling was created without him then that would be an inaccurate Mount Rushmore.
Another face on that big chiselled rock would be, well, The Rock. Rocky Maivia may have been second to Stone Cold Steve Austin in the WWF pecking order but he may very well be the biggest mainstream name the business has ever produced, an argument accentuated by his position as the highest-paid actor in Hollywood today.
If you take the two biggest mainstream names in the history of the industry and put them against each other one-on-one on the biggest stage of them all in front of a molten hot crowd, you're going to top whatever list the match features on.
This is exactly what happened at WrestleMania X8 in Toronto, as The Rock and 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan faced off for the very first time. It was a true goosebump-inducing moment that lives long in the memory, racism scandal or not. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan is the biggest first time match in wrestling history, and it'll take something truly special to change that .
