3. “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan joined WCW in 1994 and turned the wrestling world upside down. He won the World Heavyweight Championship from Ric Flair in his very first match. As expected, Hogan became one of the most popular competitors.

When Hogan joined Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to form The nWo, he revolutionized sports entertainment, and took WCW to previously unseen heights. Along the way, Hogan adopted his villainous “Hollywood” persona, and ran with it toward becoming a six-time WCW Champion.
