“I probably only had three times all my career, which covered in the WWE for ten years where I went out on the floor. I wanted to be there and these were the most amazing 45 minutes of my career, watching the fans watched these two icons, and they changed the match because the fans wanted to cheer up.”

“So, it was such a unique time to see Khalka, which was physically not where he needed to be, and it was basically even for so long in the match. It was a charming night, and I still looked back at her as one of the highlights of my career.”

The match took place in Toronto at Skydome, where the two were the main attraction. The match was named “Icon vs. Icon” and it was the first performance of Hogan Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania ix in 1993.

The storyline at the time was rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin Against the new world order, consisted of Khogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. The rock summoned Hogan to the Wrestlemania match, and Hogan shook his hand in agreement.

However, the signature of the rock “bottom” came out instead of releasing Hogan, which led to hostility, which was created until the match appeared in March 2002 north of the border.

“That’s what it has always been a matter of struggle: extension to great moments. Starting to great spectacles and paying them off,” Koachman said. “Both until the mid -90s or end of the 90s, Hogan was really a guy above and outside anyone. When we got in 2000, everything started and was good and it was bad. To be able to make this match and your words are strange because I wanted to feel it. Time. “

The crowd was electric throughout the night, and some even thought it was one of the loudest crowds to combat all time, since these two traded blows are back and back for more than half an hour.

The coach also said that the rock kept Hogan in it for as long as they did. There was even some improvisation that had to be done in the middle of the match.

“I don’t know what the match would happen if the rock was in the moment. He had to give so much Hogan to make this match plausible,” he said. “Then what was so shocking, they worked on this match for weeks. They even created a ring at the hotel and we would rent it throughout the week. They worked on it for so many hours.

“Then to go to the ring of 80,000, or as there were many people, they happened to completely switch it because there are certain things you can do as a good guy, you can’t do like a bad guy and vice versa.

In the end, the rock came out the winner over Hogan, and Nash and Hall did not like Hogan, who showed respect for rock. Nash and Hall began to stray on Hogan, which at this point was effectively leaving NWO.

As a result, the rock came to the rescue of Hogan, and as a huge sign of respect, he asked Hogan to pose with him in the ring to welcome the crowd.

“For me, this is the pinnacle of what our business is,” Koachman said. “I fought three -four years. When I had to go for 10 or 12 minutes, it was a long time for me. These guys were holding the crowd in the palm of my hand, and it was the greatness of Khagan Hagan, and Khalk Hogan Wrestler.”
