5 greatest WWE Superstar and announcer pairings in WWE history

#2 Hulk Hogan - Gene Okerlund

When Hulk Hogan became the American Hero in mid 80’s, defeating The Iron Sheik to capture the WWE Championship, no one would’ve envisioned the heights Hogan and WWE would reach in the next decade.

As "The Hulkster" became the giant slayer, there was one man that added to the legend of Hulk Hogan, Gene Okerlund.

Okerlund was one of the most experienced and talented backstage personalities, and complemented Hogan’s charisma with his verbal prowess. Hogan’s “You know something, Mean Gene?!” phrase became iconic, with Okerlund being the perfect foil to accentuate Hogan’s charisma.
