The Rock's eyes twitch involuntarily, his babyface status and his cool lost. Hulk Hogan delights in a face turn politicked over a matter of seconds. The match is recalibrated, becoming even better seamlessly. Icon Vs. Icon becomes Iconic in a genuine 'Mania moment engineered by two magicians that is fascinating in both its inner political machinations and external, eternal fiction.

Fascinating and fantastic, this will never, ever grow old. Like its star, the match is immortal.
