10 WWE Wrestlers Vince McMahon Loves (But The Internet Hates)

10. Hulk Hogan

Ask anyone in the world who isn't a wrestling fan to name a wrestler and they're almost certain to say Hulk Hogan. That's how big Hogan managed to get in the '80s. His rise to the top of the business came at the same time as the business became mainstream entertainment, and the two simply cannot be separated.

It's for this reason that, despite their personal differences and open animosity towards each other, that Vince McMahon will forgive Hogan all his trespasses and keep bringing him back for yet another payday and another cheap bump to the ratings by appealing to nostalgia.

All of this, of course, comes at the expense of the up and coming stars of the future. Even if Hogan will never be booked against them, he's taking their spot on the card. And that suits him just fine. Holding down those who could conceivably rise to the same heights as him is something that Terry Bollea is no stranger to, after all. It's one of the reasons that even those who recognise his contributions to the business despise the way the Real American handled himself backstage.

But what ya gonna do?
