In 2002, after the demise of WCW and the end of many of the long standing guaranteed contracts, fans of both WWF and WCW were treated to many crossover matches that they thought they would never see. None bigger than the “Icon vs Icon” match, the guy who defined the classic Era, “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, vs the man who would go on to be one of the biggest household names in entertainment, The Rock. Let that sink in, Hulk Hogan vs The Rock. And it happened at Wrestlemania X8 This week on the Scottish Smarks, Chris and Tony practise social distancing and self isolation, as they have done for every other episode, but this time with a purpose. We weigh in with our thoughts on the Coronavirus Crisis, and then move on to the good stuff. Covering Mania X8, we discuss RVD’s early run, the addition of nu-metal stalwarts Salva and Drowning Pool to the card, one of the greatest promos ever put together by The Rock, and the art of re-invention. There’s also some chat around the pros and cons of Scott Hall, and was Steve Austin going stale in the spring of 02? All this and plenty more on this week’s episode.P.S - STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY OUT THERE FOLKS! Follow the advice where possible and use common sense to get through this.
