Speaking of emotional attachment. Another one of my most favourite moments ever was Rock vs Hogan at Wrestlemania 18.
This was in Toronto and my friends and I went to get tickets but it was sold out almost immediately. Boy were we pissed. Fine we'll watch it on PPV. I knew the Hogan vs Rock match would be great but I don't think anyone expected what was about to happen. I'm still kicking myself for not being there live. This match had the greatest atmosphere ever. Hulk Hogan was an icon and this was his first match back in Toronto after many many years. He was going up against the number 1 face at the time the rock. As much as the fans loved the rock, this was going to be a very bad night for rocky as everyone was anticipating the return of a legend.
At this time in my life I was already very into the business, so I knew who was winning. This however did not stop me from being totally drained watching this match. I was literally screaming off the top of my lungs for rock to stay down when Hogan drop the legdrop of doom. "Don't kick out you somambitch!!! Don't kick out~~~~!!!!" LOL I've never been so emotionally drained watching any wrestling match and felt my heart sank. It was unbelievable, had I been there live I would've lost my voice. This match made me remember why I loved wrestling so much. This was the greatest atmoshere ever.
