According to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Hulk Hogan's been a f***ing liar who didn't give a f*** about the fans since I was seven years old and Heenan traded for the contract of King Kong Bundy from Jimmy Hart in order to put an end to Hulkamania. However, what a Bundy victory in the steel cage at Wrestlemania II hasn't done, a mix of time, space, place and happenstance have done to the belief that Hulk Hogan is a good, kind and honest man most concerned with the well-being and happiness of his "Hulkamaniacs." From kayfabe moments throughout his career that had shoot implications to moments as a shoot where Hulk Hogan's errors in judgement proved to have far-reaching implications, Hulk Hogan's sadly proved more often than not that he may actually be a carny a**hole who gives zero f***s about anyone but himself and anything other than his money. Thus, if this idea is true, the notion that Hogan's had a near four-decade career that didn't involve him completely falling on his face before now is amazing. From the New World Order to tragedies involving his family (and more), Hogan's definitely proven to be -- more than Roddy Piper and the Dungeon of Doom combined -- to be the biggest threat to Wrestlemania that there is. Here's ten instances when he's given less than a f*** about his fanbase and proven this notion true.
