The Rock and Hulk Hogan stare one another down during their 'Icon vs. Icon' bout at WrestleMania X8.

The main event of WrestleMania X8 is - according to the history books - Triple H vs. Chris Jericho for the Undisputed Championship. In the minds of many, however, it is surely the dream match between The Rock and Hulk Hogan, a bout responsible for one of the most raucous crowd reactions in wrestling.

The Rock was a master in this match, subtly heeling it up when he realised that the crowd were firmly behind Hogan (despite his heelish nWo affiliation). The Brahma Bull would ultimately triumph, only to stand aside the Hulkster and fend off his Outsider buddies when they attempted a post-match run-in. This will forever go down as one of the most titanic clashes ever, and a match which exceeded the expectations of many from an in-ring point of view as well.
