I agree with Jericho because at that time in 2002, what bigger match could’ve headlined a WrestleMania besides Rock vs Hogan? And despite Jericho being Undisputed Champion at the time, they basically made him Stephanie McMahon’s proxy for her feud with Triple H.

Chris may be the most underappreciated mega star in wrestling history. He's gotten his flowers no doubt but he deserves a ton more in my opinion.. The term living legend is thrown around so much it's nearly meaningless nowadays but Y2J truly is a living legend.

I think it was DDP who said this many years ago, that Toronto crowds were known to favour heels, and Toronto was known to absolutely love Hulk Hogan. It's tough to imagine Vince being ignorant to this, but I guess he was just stubborn on maintaining the tradition of keeping the title match last. Kind of ironic because 10 years earlier they did the right thing and had Hogan vs Sid as the main event for WM8.

Chris is forgetting Hogan didnt have the best track record regarding his matches in WCW they were usually terrible, very short and ended with a run-in, McMahon was probably worried Hogan would under perform so putting the match in an attraction spot was the best thing

Off The Record was a Canadian show. Saying Hogan-Rock should had main evented over HHH-Jericho, I guess, would have been seen as a slight to a main event that featured a Canadian (Jericho) in a Wrestlemania that was in Canada.

Me, my dad, and my brother watched that Wrestlemania (as we did all PPV’s and Wrestlemania’s), and we were just going WILD during Rock vs Hogan! And I’ll tell you what… I don’t remember who went on after that match or even before. Not a single match outside of that even mattered. I had to be reminded that it was HHH vs Jericho in the “main event.”

In hindsight hogan v Rock should been the main event but at that time it was always the title match that main event. The company needed a match like that to show them that it doesn't always need to be the title match to be the main event

I personally agree that they couldn't follow Hogan and Rock, but I fully agree Van Vliet that the match between Jericho and HHH was a great one that I think is a main event worthy, it just didn't get the loudest ovations nor the fan praise.

Chris the goat

Chris tells quite the different story in his pre match interview with Michael Landsberg on OTR

This seems to be a HHH thing we're every time he's in the main event the much before his steals the show

Agree with everything Chris said here 100 percent. I was fortunate to be attend the event live and it was bonkers for Rock -Hogan, the crowd was spent. It was a disservice to both Chis and Hunter to put them on last.

Wrestlemania 18 is in my top 3 of best wrestlemanias of all time but wrestlemania 17 is the best WM in history for me

At the end of the day, the main event is the match your audience wants to see most, the match that gets them interested in the event itself. Rock vs. Hogan was that match and even WWE knew it. Just go look at the WM18 poster and you'll see one match advertised.

I was there. I don't even remember the last two matches afterwards. Hahaha.

Lol, not a Cornette guy. I’ve actually never listened to his podcast or whatever. Jericho is an interesting case. Obviously he is past his prime but he still does have value. And I guess AEW has been getting that value, but I just have not liked his work there. I haven’t enjoyed any of the stables he’s fronted. I don’t find his matches to be very good. And yes, as a person, he’s done some questionable things, but I can totally separate the man from the character. Hell, I’ve always been an ultimate warrior fan and he was a tier one garbage person.

People don't realize that Chris is a true icon above many of our favorites... I bought aew in London ppv just to witness him. And I enjoyed everything it was my first time watching aew and my GMA and mom watched we all enjoyed it HEAVILY. Mjf vs Cole was perfect, cm punk vs Joe was fun, Jericho and osprey was my match of the year. I hope one day he gets to go to Canada and I hope wwe and aew collide. It would be very difficult to do but why not allow a taker v sting.. Cena vs omega , Rollins vs mjf , roman vs hangman page . Something similar to that

It doesn’t matter whatchu think!

I understand VKM mindset that the Undisputed Championship is the most Important match on the card because it's about the current state of WWF... meanwhile Hogan vs Rock IS TRULY ONCE IN A LIFETIME with nWo going to shit afterwards.

I'm on the fence with this. On one hand you want a match the caliber of Rock vs Hogan to close the show. However, the title match should go on last as the focus at the close of the show should be on the championship. It kind of pisses on all the wrestlers that main evented before for the championship to not have the title close the show. So, I can see both sides.

@@madnomad3861 I know right. He was the perfect villain and at times a good face. I don't personally think the main event needs to always be the final match as I do believe you can have a few main event levels matches on 1 Mania. But to argue Triple H didn't help sell any Mania is very revisionist history and kinda filled with people who just don't like the dude. I mean WM2000 had it been Rock vs HHH was one of the biggest feuds ever. WM20 Is considered by some to be the greatest match of all time, WM21 Is considered by many to be one of the best storylines of all time. WM22 Triple H was cheered so much they turned him face. WM28 I feel broke it's record not just because of Rock vs Cena but because of Triple H vs Undertaker in Hell in a Cell.

@@dominiclowe3640 how do you know that? He's been in the main event of 7 different wrestlemanias and every one had a big buyrate. It's not a coincidence

I mean this same company put Undertaker vs. Undertaker over Bret vs. Owen in a cage for the world title. So.

That match arrangement made no sense
