Classic WWF: The Rock Meets Hollywood Hulk Hogan and nWo – No Way Out 2002 [Video]


The Rock and Hollywood Hulk Hogan in 2002

When The Rock came face-to-face with Hulk Hogan at No Way Out in 2002, it felt bigger than just another backstage moment—it was a collision of icons. Representing two different generations of pro wrestling, both men carried the weight of an era on their shoulders. The tension between them was immediate and undeniable.  Their picture together was worth more than a thousand words.

With WrestleMania X8 on the horizon, this encounter served as the spark that would ignite one of the most legendary matches in WWE history. The Rock’s sharp confidence met Hogan’s larger-than-life presence, setting the tone for a showdown that would transcend storylines and become a true passing-of-the-torch moment.

Before the WrestleMania X8 match in Toronto, and before the crowd chose its side, it started with this backstage promo and Hogan taking a photo with his son's "favorite wrestler."

Classic Raw Moment: Bret Hart Attacks Vince McMahon on July 21, 1997 [Videos]

Bret Hart and Vince McMahon stare at each other with intensity

On the July 21, 1997 episode of Raw Is War, tensions surrounding SummerSlam reached a boiling point when Bret Hart confronted Vince McMahon at the commentary table. Earlier in the night, Shawn Michaels had inserted himself into the WWF Championship picture by announcing he would serve as special guest referee for the upcoming SummerSlam showdown between Bret and The Undertaker—a decision that immediately raised questions about bias and fairness.

Furious over what he saw as blatant favoritism, Hart stormed ringside during a match and confronted McMahon directly. What followed was a rare and jarring moment for the era: Hart slapped McMahon across the face, and rather than retreat, McMahon stood his ground. The exchange blurred the lines between authority figure and on-screen character, hinting at a more confrontational and involved version of McMahon that fans had not yet fully seen.

In hindsight, this segment stands as an early glimpse of what would soon evolve into the infamous Mr. McMahon persona. As 1997 progressed—with controversy mounting and real-life tensions spilling into storylines—moments like this helped lay the groundwork for the volatile character who would later clash with Stone Cold Steve Austin and become central to the WWF’s rise during the Attitude Era.

A brief confrontation in the moment between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon—but one that quietly helped reshape the direction of the entire company.

Classic WWF: "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Bad News Brown in a Harlem Street Fight [Videos]






At a time when the World Wrestling Federation was riding a wave of late-1980s momentum, "Macho Man" Randy Savage brought his WWF World Heavyweight Championship into Canada against the unpredictable Bad News Brown. Held under Harlem Street Fight rules, this bout traded traditional structure for a more chaotic, hard-hitting atmosphere, allowing both competitors to lean into their brawling instincts.

Bad News Brown will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a member of the legacy wing in April 2026.
