10 Wrestlers The Fans Did A Complete 180 On

10. Hulk Hogan

The scale of Hulk Hogan's fall from grace is staggering when you consider the career he had.

Here was a man who managed to become the most popular wrestler in the world across three separate decades (Hulkamania in the eighties; NWO leader in the nineties; and the immediate aftermath of his legendary WrestleMania encounter with The Rock in 2002). Now, he can't even show up in his home state without getting mercilessly booed out of the arena.

Really, you could almost feel sorry for him. But then you remember he:

 - Snitched on an attempt to form a wrestlers' union.

 - Deliberately screwed up the end of Starrcade '97, starting the "That doesn't work for me, brother" meme.

 - Stole Bret Hart's thunder at WrestleMania IX, then refused to drop the belt to him.

 - Tried to gaslight a rookie Undertaker

 - And, most importantly of all, his vitrolic, racist tirade - for which he has still shown no genuine remorse.

Given all that, it's no wonder fans have chosen to echo the sentiments of the late Iron Shiek and (metaphorically) declared, "F**K THE HULK HOGAN!"
