Last week The Rock posted a video on his Instagram talking about his famous “ICON vs ICON” WrestleMania match with the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan. He recalled Vince McMahon asking him his thoughts on bringing Hogan back to the WWE. Rock responded by asking McMahon how the locker room felt about it, Vince responded saying that he spoke with some locker room leaders an it was a mixed reaction. The Rock was all for it, and actually wanted a match with him.
The build to the match was “incredible” according to The Rock. He also talked a critical moment in the match where he decided to respond as a heel which he feels helped make the match one of the best matches in WrestleMania history.
