10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (May 24)
3. Hulk Hogan's Nightmare
Even 'The Hulkster' wakes up in a pool of his own sweat after a rather nasty nightmare.
Hulk posted the details of his bad dream on Twitter, and it involved none other than The Rock. In Hogan's subconscious, Rocky replaced him as the leader of the nWo. It was "the worst nightmare I've ever had", said Hulk, jokingly of course.
According to Hogan's dream, 'The Great One' became the New World Order's new focal point when he "stole" that spot from Hulk and rubbed it in his face. Had WWE's nWo reprise in 2002 not been dead from the start, then this could have been a fun storyline to liven things up and give Hogan an excuse to turn babyface.
It wasn't to be. Instead, the mere thought of it caused Hulk to wake up panicking that his nightmares had become reality. It's alright, Hulk. Nobody could have done a better job than you did back in 1996 as the figurehead of the new renegade group.
