Jerry Lawler recently did an interview with The Miami Herald talking about his favorite WrestleMania match to commentate.

"One match that I really enjoyed calling was The Rock against Hulk Hogan [WrestleMania 18 in 2002 in Toronto]. That was a match you thought you'd never see. I'd put that like a match between Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. It was just something you thought would never happen, and it was a great match. As far as I'm concerned, of the matches I've seen, it was probably Hulk Hogan's best match ever, and The Rock was fabulous in it. So I thought that match was great."

Everything around the match was pretty cool but I don't think wrestling wise it was anything great, Stone Cold vs Hulk Hogan probably would've been better.

Didn't need to be the best wrestling match ever, and Lawler wasn't saying it was the best wrestling match if that's what you were getting at, just his favourite to call.

I doubt this report.

Ever notice how excited he used to get for the Divas matches?

Would it be better wrestling wise? Eh, I don't know about that. Austin was so limited at this point and Hogan wasn't a technical wizard either. Hogan/Austin would have been good from a business standpoint, but I can't see it being better than Rock/Hogan which may not have been the greatest match technically, but the raw emotion that match produced makes it one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time

Lawler's next match is against the underage girl he banged in 95.
