Hulk Hogan
Hogan was the face of professional wrestling in the 1980s and helped elevate the business to heights it had never seen before. He was so popular that the term "Hulkamania" was coined to describe the fanfare that surrounded the wrestler, who drew money like no other. He was a part of some of the biggest moments in WWE history, including his match Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3 and his match with The Rock at WrestleMania 18. Just when it looked like Hogan's best days were behind him, he turned heel and joined the NWO, helping WCW surpass the WWE.
