15 Best Wrestling Comebacks

#8 Hulk Hogan - 2002

Hulk Still Ruled

With Hulk Hogan riding so high in WCW in the 90's, I don't think anyone ever really thought he may ever return to WWE, that is until his controversial exit from WCW in 2000. Hogan briefly negotiated with WWE about a return in time for WrestleMania X-7 in 2001, but they reached an impasse.

When Kevin Nash pitched to his old buddy Triple H about a nWo reunion in early 2002, Hogan immediately jumped on board.

Despite returning as a heel, fans loved seeing the Hulkster back and WWE was forced to turn him face.

Hogan would have one of the most memorable matches of all-time with The Rock at WrestleMania X8 and even more incredibly, would defeat Triple H at Backlash to win the WWE Championship for the 6th time.

Hogan would also become a Tag Team Champion for the first time in his illustrious career when he and Edge defeated Billy & Chuck on the 4th of July.

Hogan would then take six months off WWE TV before returning in early 2003 for a rematch with The Rock and an excellent showdown with Vince McMahon at WrestleMania XIX.

And while the less said about the Mr. America character, the better, regardless of that, Hulk Hogan had an incredible comeback before his exit in June 2003.
