10 Reasons why Hollywood Hogan was superior to Hulk Hogan

#9 His heel turn made for compelling drama

When Kevin Nash and Scott Hall started trumpeting about their 'third man,' speculation ran wild in the wrestling fandom about who it might be.

The most likely candidate was Lex Luger, who was known for turning on allies. In fact, WCW management had originally intended a heel turn for Luger but were worried it would be too predictable and fall flat with fans.

Close to the last minute, Hogan suddenly threw his hat in the ring, deciding it was time to turn heel. His attack on former ally Macho Man and alignment with the NWO drew so much ire from fans they littered the ring with rubbish. Monday Nitro became can't-miss TV, with everyone wanting to see just why and how Hogan had turned evil and how far he would sink to maintain his glory.
