Hulk Hogan and WWE

He won the WWE Championship in 1984 and held it for four years, the longest active reign in WWE history. He would then go on to claim the WWE championship six times during his career. Eight of the first nine WrestleManias were headlined by Hulk Hogan.

He had noteworthy feuds and bouts with Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, and Roddy Piper, among others. Hogan departed WWE after all of his success and was pivotal in presenting Vince and the WWE with the only true opposition they’ve ever had.

He joined WCW and established the NWO with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in the most dramatic heel turn in wrestling history.

Hogan would become a six-time World Champion in WCW, giving him a total of 12 World Championships. Hulk Hogan’s impact on professional wrestling is unparalleled.
