#3 Six-time WWE Champion Hulk Hogan
One of the biggest stars in professional wrestling history, Hulk Hogan was WWE's top babyface in the '80s as the company enjoyed one of the most prosperous eras in its history. Hogan crossed over into the mainstream and captivated fans all over the United States.
He then went to WCW and turned heel, joining the Outsiders and forming the nWo. The storyline was so strong that the New World Order became the most profitable stable in history and ushered in another boom period. At one point, Nitro trumped RAW in the ratings for 83 consecutive weeks.
Once WCW was acquired by WWE, Hogan - then 48 years of age - returned to the promotion where he first became an icon. He faced The Rock in a clash for the ages at WrestleMania 18. The two legends put on a classic that was arguably the best match of Hogan's career.
At the following year's WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan wrestled Vince McMahon in a Street Fight which managed to exceed expectations.
