10 best back-stabbings in WWE history

There is always a plan B

#8 Andre the Giant turns on Hulk Hogan

How could you Andre?

Andre the Giant was a popular wrestler among fans. Who couldn’t love a man that stood over seven feet tall and played a gentle giant-like character, who meant no harm. He had an incredible undefeated streak and was a top babyface in the company. That certainly wasn’t the case after a shocking betrayal of friend Hulk Hogan.

Andre was working with a long-time enemy, Bobby Heenan, who convinced him that Hogan wasn’t as good of a friend as he thought. Hogan begged Andre to listen to him, but the Giant challenged him for his World Heavyweight Championship match, where he attacked him, ripping Hogans t-shirt off and breaking his necklace.

This set the stage for arguably the most iconic feud in history and also to their massive WrestleMania 3 main event.
