WRESTLEMANIA, Year 3

Here we go. It's good to see the former WCW stars getting big matches.

Match 6. The Rock vs. Hollywood Hogan
You know I couldn't resist having this match. Icon vs. Icon. How will Hogan do without Nash or Hall at his side? Hogan threw Rock into the corner and connected with a huge big boot. Rock locked Hogan in a Boston crab. Rock went for a Rock Bottom, but Hogan broke free. Hogan then busted him open with a back elbow. He finished Rock with a scoop slam and leg drop.
