5 times Hulk Hogan's insecurities were bad for business

#2 Shawn Michaels at Summerslam 2005

Shawn Michaels oversold every move in that match in rebellion to Hogan's refusal to put him over

As a WWE legend, it’s always best to know when your time is up. John Cena is a perfect example -- he’s undoubtedly the best of his generation but he knew that without him putting over other superstars, his legacy would be tainted.

That’s why it was sad to see Hulk Hogan come back in the early noughties and run rough-shot over so many more talented wrestlers.

In 2005, in a match billed between two legends, Hulk Hogan went toe to toe with the show-stopper, Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid was easily the younger of the two, lest we forget, he was the one who carried the company in the 90s when Hogan left.

Unlike Hogan, Michaels was not on his last legs at the time, but for some reason, Hogan outright refused to follow Vince’s original plan. The plan was to have a best of three series between the two, with Michaels eventually going over.

Instead, Hogan went over clean in one match because he wanted to. Thanks, Hulkster.
