Hogan was washed up at 18

It's fukk Hogan all day, but he's also one of the biggest stars in wrestling history, and in 2002 at that point, he was fresh off just returning to the WWE. Brock is in year 8 of his return. Brock is basically 2011 Hulk Hogan right now.

Brock at age 70 will prob still move around the ring better than Hogan :mjlol:

These days most matches happened already on weekly shows or random ppvs so the mania matches aren't really meaningful or marquee matchups. The ones they tried to do this year with taker vs aj and roman vs goldberg are a few years too late. theres not really any big match appeal unless you add wrestlers from other promotions and most of the wwe stars were already doing the indepedent scene early in their careers. all the potential marquee matchup guys are already in their late 30s or older and theres not really a young marquee guy to do the passing of the torch since they only elevated reigns and rollins and i think they've both already faced guys like brock and aj and cena. most of the roster is older guys so lets see how they treat the youth these next few years and see who steps up and gives us a marquee matchup potential.
Another reason why you say this is because WWE uses Surivor Series now as a "Brand vs Brand" ppv and thats where they use some of their dream match scenarios on ala Keith Lee vs Roman Reigns last year.

But to answer the original question. No one will recreate Rock vs Hogan. Thats truly once in a lifetime

But Cena vs Reigns should have been the 4th of the "passing the torch" matches

1st - Hogan vs Andre
2nd - Rock vs Hogan
3rd - Cena vs Rock
4th - Reigns vs Cena

They fukked up. This should've happened at Wrestlemania 34 when Reigns was coming off ending Undertaker the year before

Seeing as how we already had Rocky vs. Brock and Rocky vs. Cena...

Austin vs Cena in say.....2007-08 may have worked.

Austin vs. Reigns....

this is hard because the torch passer is Cena and he basically faced all the young boys already and so did Brock.

This best case for any dream matches down the line if AEW and/or MLW establish themselves as legit alternatives in the mainstream world. Then it can be Top WWE guy vs AEW guy or something like that.
