Though Hulk Hogan was the heel in that storyline, the Canadian crowd cheered for the Hulkster more than The Rock. The match started with the two legends indulging in some trash talk and going back and forth with some punches. A few minutes later, The Rock applied the Sharpshooter on Hulk Hogan, but the referee was down and unable to see Hulk Hogan submit.
The Rock released Hogan and went down to get the referee, but Hogan hit a low blow and delivered a Rock Bottom to The Rock for a near-fall. The two then delivered their respective finishers on each other, but The Rock took over by delivering the Rock Bottom and a leg drop for a two count. After two more Rock Bottoms and a People's Elbow, The Rock pinned Hulk Hogan to win the match. After the match, the two shook hands to show respect to each other.
