Icon vs. Icon

I will do my best to move on past my friend's harsh words regarding the iron man match. Today's match takes us back to 2002 at Wrestlemania 18. Perhaps the biggest showdown of past vs. present, the People's Champion The Rock took on the Immortal Hulk Hogan.

Technically, he was Hollywood Hogan for this match, but that was just lame. Even though AL was the biggest nWo fan doesn't mean it was right. AL is always cheering for the cheaters anyways (e.g., Edge). But let's not attack AL, he already has to jump in the nasty pond at Skyview after putting his 2nd shot on #4 across the road (see him for an explanation).

Back to the original topic, The Rock was in his prime, and the Hulkster was getting older. The fans were surprisingly backing Hogan, who put up a valiant fight. In the end, this epic battle ended with the Rock getting the 1-2-3 after an electrifying People's Elbow. But what a match! This instant classic can be only rivaled by the fight between Andrew House and Keaton Belcher over the honor of a world-class volleyball player. That fight has yet to produce a winner, but Belcher is chomping at the bit to get back into the ring with House. Or perhaps the epic Dotson vs. Greer "I Hate Kelly" match that took place in the Dressler Dungeon back in 1998 is a little more familiar. You get it, The Rock vs. Hogan was easily a top-5 'Mania match.


As you can see above, House lept out of his seat after The Rock scored the pin, whereas Shane Dansby was more of a Hogan fan, and I was torn. Regardless, we all went to Ru San's for some "cultured" sushi after the match concluded.

Will there be another Icon vs. Icon match at the 25th? Perhaps Hogan vs. Cena? Iron Shiek vs. MVP? Or House's dream match: J.B.L. vs. Repo Man. Whatever happens, the days are getting closer, and I am getting more excited. I hope you are too.

By the way, Terantula's dad was wondering if anybody had any spare "Battries." I'm not sure what those are, but if you have any please contact him at 1-800-BATTRY.

Eat your vitamins and say your prayers, brother,
