Taker and Hogan starred in a Hollywood movie together
The same year, Taker and Hogan starred in a movie called Suburban Commando. The story was about an interstellar hero whose ship is damaged after a fight and he must hide on Earth till it can recharge. He rents a room at a suburban middle-aged family guy’s home and the two team up to fight bounty hunters.
The film also starred Christopher Lloyd, most famous for his role of Doc Brown in Back to the Future. Hogan was the protagonist of the movie, while Taker featured in a very limited capacity. In spite of that, Hogan found that movie important enough to mention in his tweet.
The rivalry resumed in 2002
Undertaker and Hogan crossed paths once again in 2002. This time, Hogan was the Undisputed Champion. He captured the title after beating Triple H at Backlash 2002. Hogan had returned to WWE that year after a stint at WCW, where he joined the New World Order.
