Both were dream matches. Both where sell outs and attracted about the same amount of audience (though Hogan/Rock did slightly more).
Austin/Rock - the two guys that made the Attitude Era.
Hogan/Rock - Past vs Present
It's a hard pick, but I think I will go with Hogan/Rock. That match was so unique! Austin/Rock was the same type as Hogan/Andre, Hogan/Warrior, and Hard/HBK (between two lead guys of the generation). Hogan/Rock was a timeless classic.
After watching both, the Hogan/Rock crowd was far more into the match than the Austin/Rock crowd.
Hogan/Rock on this one!

Rock Austin was so much better in ring wise, and better promo wise, and better build up wise. And WM17 alltogether was better then WM18.
But both matches were great! I just love the Austin/Rock WM Triligoy, one of my favotire Feuds ever.

As far as 'bigger' is concerned, I don't think it's a contest really. Hogan/Rock, easily.

Great question while over all as good as the Hogan vs Rock match was Rock vs Austin at WM17 was perhaps the greatest main event in WM history in my personal oppinion the only other WM main event that came close to being this dramatic I am talking about in ring entertainment not "what it meant to wrestling" is Hogan vs Savage from Wm5.
Perhaps a better question would have been would Hogan vs Austin have been bigger than Rock vs Hogan?

I felt like the Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock match was the biggest. Two great superstars one from the past and one as the future.

No question about it, Hogan vs. The Rock @ 'Mania X8 was bigger.

Hogan vs. Rock was a bigger match, but any match from the Austin vs. Rock series is much better, in my opinion.

TBH Hogan/Rock was a crap match IMO, and I wasn't at all hyped for it, I was more interested in Austin/Hall

Hogan/Rock was one of the biggest matches in recent history and was an incredible match, both inside the ring and outside (the crowd).
Austin/Rock was a memorable feud that resulted in awesome matches between the two especially the WrestleMania trilogy.
Austin/Rock was one of the biggest feuds during and after the Attitude era, but Hogan/Rock was one of the biggest fights in wrestling.

When talkinb about Rock vs Austin there excellent bout at Backlash 99 always seems to get lost on the shuffle. I highly recomend if you have not seen it you check it out.

Austin/Rock is arguably the best feud ever. They made most of the attitude era, which was my favorite era in wrestling, so that's what I picked.

Hogan/Rock was a huge match that will always be remembered as one of our era's most-iconic matches.
Austin/Rock, though, was all about the feud, not just one big match.

Rock vs. Hogan because it had never happened before and was basically the biggest dream match of all time. We'd seen Rock vs. Austin many times before. I like the Rock vs. Austin rivalry better though.

The finished to the Rock/Austin matches hurt them a bit. You can't argue with that special feeling you get from watching the crowd turn on Rock and cheer Hogan.
