After the Great One and the Immortal One rocked the Skydome at 'Mania X8, a rematch was seemingly inevitable. 

WWE booked the sequel for No Way Out 2003, with Hogan back in the fold after a little vacation and The Rock doing some of his best work as the heel with one foot firmly in Hollywood. 

It was apparent early on that the two superstars wouldn't be able to duplicate the brilliance of their first encounter. 

The Brahma Bull was entertaining in his attempts to poke fun at his opponent, but the meat of the match was weak, and Hogan looked significantly more knackered than he had done the year prior. 

This also didn't have a fraction of the crowd response that the first match had, and those in Montreal that night were left with a bitter taste in their mouths when WWE booked a finish that riffed on the Montreal Screwjob (after basically telling them to get over Survivor Series '97 for the whole of the show that preceded it). 

The Rock tried, bless him, putting in quite the shift and attempting to get the match over on sheer willpower alone, but it was an uphill battle and lightning didn't strike twice.
