#2 Hulk Hogan
In the early 80s, Vince McMahon handpicked Terry Bollea as the Superstar who would be the face of the company for the next several years. In 1984, Hogan won his first WWE World title by defeating The Iron Sheik in MSG.
Immediately after Hogan's victory, Gorilla Monsoon uttered the iconic line, "Hulkamania is here!" Hogan soon began telling his fans to train, eat their vitamins, and say their prayers. His ring gear saw a massive overhaul as well, as he began donning a red and yellow garb.
Hogan went on to get involved in the first nine WrestleMania main events. He left WWE in the early 90s and jumped ship to WCW. In 1996, Hogan revitalized his career by turning heel and forming the nWo with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
Soon after WCW's purchase in 2001, Hogan made his way to WWE. After a short stint as the leader of the nWo, Hogan embraced his Real American persona again. Many fans argue that Hulk Hogan is Vince McMahon's greatest creation, but the following name makes a strong case for itself.
