Was there anyone who, during one, continuous run interacted with both first-run WWF Hogan, and Rock, aside from Bret and ‘Taker? Like, Bret appeared at WMIX with Hulk and probably other times, and faced Rock on a ‘97 RAW, and ‘Taker had his well-known interactions with original run Hogan (SVS ‘91, Tuesday in Texas ‘91, etc.) and Rock (KotR ‘99, KotR 2000, Unforgiven 2000, won the tag straps with him, No Way Out 2002, and probably a thousand other things).
Anyone else? I think early Blue Blazer was around with Hogan but was never in the ring with him, same with Bulldog and Shawn (and Bulldog had three separate runs with WWF anyway).
Sid and Flair interacted with first-run Hogan and Rock, but the interactions weren’t within one continuous WWF run for either (and I’m not sure Sid ever interacted with Rock anyway).
And I know, ‘84-‘93 wasn’t technically Hogan’s very first WWF run, but I don’t see an issue with referring to it as such.
Anyway, did anyone in WWF history besides Bret and ‘Taker have one continuous run where they interacted with both first-run Hogan, and Rock?

Shawn was in the 1990 Rumble with Hogan, they were both in the Ring at the same time.
Possibly the Honkey Tonk Man. He was part of the company with both as was Mr Perfect

I wondered that about Perfect. Was he ever in the ring with The Rock? And was Honky? |

Perfect also did a lot of interviews in 1996. I can see him interviewing Rocky at some point, he must have Same with Honky, he was a commentator but he also appeared in a few Rumble matches. I’m pretty sure the 1998 Rumble had Honky in it and Rocky was too EDIT: Honky Tonk was in the 98 Rumble with Rocky but he left the company for a few years in between ‘91 and ‘95 |

I don't really grasp the question here....
Are you asking if anyone was a part of the WWE during 84-93 when Hogan was there, 96-04 when Rock was there, and then again for the 2002 Hogan era and the 2012 Rock era??

If I understand correctly, he’s looking for people that were there when Hogan had his first run through ‘93 and were still with the company in ‘96 when Rocky got there. And he’s looking for instances of these wrestlers sharing the ring |

Was he ever in the ring with The Rock? And was Honky? It was only for a brief time. Shawn entered at #26 and was eliminated by the Ultimate Warrior rather quickly, I think he only lasted 20 seconds, I don't think he and Hogan had any contact. On one of the unreleased matches DVDs the Rockers did come to Hogan's aid during a match in 1990, though I cannot remember which one. Mr. Perfect did return to the company in 2002, I know he was in the Royal Rumble with Austin, HHH, and Kurt Angle but I cannot remember if the Rock was in the match at that time. Big Boss Man would be another guy who had contact with both, he wrestled Hogan in 1988 and 1989 and wrestled/worked with the Rock in 1999. Davey Boy Smith as well, was in Royal Rumble 1991 with Hogan and worked a program with the Rock in 1999. I believe the British Bulldogs saved Hogan from a beat down in the mid 80s. Legion of Doom may be another one to look at, they wrestled Hogan (and Muta) over in Japan in the early 90s and feuded with the Nation of Domination too. Bret wrestled both. The Hart Foundation and Honky Tonk Man wrestled Hogan and Savage on occasion and he wrestled the Rock on Raw in 1997. Did Golga ever do anything with the Rock? If so then he would count since he wrestled Hogan in 1990 as the Earthquake and again in WCW as the Shark and Avalanche. Jake Roberts had some house matches with Hulk Hogan in 1987 and was on Hogan's Survivor Series team in 1989, he was also on the Rock's survivor Series team in 1996 (Rock's debut). Terry Funk wrestled Hogan on a Saturday Night's Main Event in 1986 (I believe), he was also in the Royal Rumble with the Rock in 1997 and 1998. The Rock wrestled the Sultan at WM13, in the Sultan's corner were the Iron Sheik and Bob Backlund, both of these guys worked with Hogan. The Rock faced XPac in 1998 and XPac was apart of the NWO with Hogan. The Big Show wrestled the Rock in WWF and wrestled Hogan in WCW as the Giant. |
