#4: Hulk Hogan- WrestleMania 18

Hulk Hogan is probably the most famous wrestler of all time. He is the first name that springs to the minds of most people when you mention the sport, and as a result of this, he is always going to be popular wherever he goes.
When Hulk Hogan returned to the WWE after his run in WCW in 2002, the powers that be tried to replicate the NWO's success from WCW in the WWE. This, of course, involved Hogan playing the heel leader of the group.

The only problem for the WWE was that the fans were insistent on cheering Hogan, no matter what he did.
This all culminated at WrestleMania X8, when Hogan went one on one with The Rock is a cross-generational dream-match. Despite The Rock being the face, and Hogan being the heel, the fans made it clear that they were supporting Hogan, and The Rock received boos everytime he took control of the bout.
This led to the WWE deciding to turn Hogan face after the match. After being defeated by The Rock, Hogan was attacked by his NWO team-mates, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. The Rock then ran down to the ring to help out his opponent, and The Rock and Hogan laid waste to Nash and Hall, sending the crowd into a frenzy in the process.
