7. Can't stand Hogan: Honky Tonk Man
Why he can't stand Hogan: It's kind of unclear. To be fair, Honky Tonk Man seems to hate pretty much everybody he ever worked with in the wrestling business.
He's got his long sideburns, his hair slicked back, and he's coming to your town in a pink Cadillac...but don't expect him to offer Hulk Hogan a ride in that trademark, iconic vehicle.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
The Honky Tonk Man was once, believe it or not, considered a heart throb in the world of pro wrestling. Along with Moondog Spot he was one half of the Blonde Bombers (his trademark black hair is a dye job.) The tag team had great championship and critical success until they disbanded.
Vince McMahon hired Honky Tonk Man and decided that he resembled the 'old' Elvis Presley. Since in the 1980s nostalgia by baby boomers had driven Elvis mania to an all-time high, Vince decided Wayne Ferris would portray an Elvis impersonator. Initially, he was meant to be a babyface, but the crowd didn't respond well. After a clever 'vote of confidence' angle, Honky Tonk Man turned heel, though he continued to insist the fans were solidly behind him.
Honky Tonk Man is considered the greatest Intercontinental champion of all time, and Hogan is largely responsible for his being so. When Butch Reed no showed an event, and Jake Roberts was injured, Vince and the Hulkster were struggling to find someone to take the belt of Ricky Steamboat, who wanted to take time off for his son's birth. Supposedly, Honky Tonk Man was just walking by when Hogan pointed him out and said "Hey, Vince, what about HIM?"
You'd think that such a vote of confidence and career boost would have endeared Honky Tonk Man to Hogan. You'd be wrong. Honky Tonk Man is famous for the vulgar and vitriolic rhetoric he directs at former co-workers, and Hogan is no exception. At least Hogan has a lot of company in Honky Tonk Man's doghouse.
