10 WWE Superstars That Would've Thrived In The Hulkamania Era

10. Big E

His near 300 lb frame and impressive powerlifting career, combined with an undeniable charisma, would've surely landed Big E a favorable spot working for WWE 25 years ago. In 2017, as part of the most over group in all of professional wrestling, E's WWE career has been nothing to spit on, especially since forming The New Day with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

Big E's post-New Day career, though, is not an easy one to envision nor predict.

Had E been wrestling in the mid-80s, an upper-midcard (or higher) heel run would've been a strong possibility. It's easy to picture Big E squaring off against the likes of Tito Santana or Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the middle of the card, before making his way up to The Ultimate Warrior or Hulk Hogan if he demonstrated enough aggression as a heel. He'd also have made a powerful tag team partner similar to The Hart Foundation's Jim Neidhart.

Whether or not he's able to break into the main event as a solo competitor remains to be seen. I, for one, would love to see it but had E been born a few decades earlier, chances are we already would have seen it.
