5 WWE Superstars who insulted Hall of Famers in real life

#3 Brock Lesnar vs Hulk Hogan

Although this incident actually happened inside a WWE ring, it was as real as it could be! On the road to Summerslam 2014, Hulk Hogan celebrated his birthday on an episode of Monday Night Raw, with several WWE legends and Hall of Famers alongside him. The party was soon crashed by Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar, who proceeded to shove Roddy Piper and get in Hulk Hogan's face. Brock then uttered those infamous words, "Party's over grandpa!".

Reportedly, Brock came up with the line himself and it wasn't a part of the script. Hogan was said to be furious after the incident and wasn't thrilled with Brock referring to him as grandpa. The Hall of Famer later gave a scathing statement, warning Brock Lesnar of serious consequences if he ever did the same again.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
