14 Wrestlers With Winning Records Over Hulk Hogan

14. The Wall

WCW was finished, one could argue, in January of 1999. It was objectively done even as early as April; neither Hercules nor Jesus Christ could bring it back from the dead, and if they somehow managed that, Vince Russo would have senselessly killed it again in October purely for the swerve.

By March of 2000, the promotion was comfortably the worst thing to exist, possibly in any medium ever. You can go back and watch 2000 WCW for some brief schadenfreude escapism, but it's simply so horrific that the effect is like that of drinking something brutally strong much too quickly. It is so potently bad that it makes you feel physically awful.

You can only handle a bit, and that bit is Hulk Hogan pointing out the Wall from a distance of several hundred metres on Nitro.

The Wall stood on top of the Sheraton hotel, and was meant to ominously convey to Hogan that there was a choke slam in his future. The problem is that Wall was only visible through a close-up camera shot; only the TV viewer could logically see him, as was illustrated when the director zoomed out. It is no exaggeration to state that Wall was so tiny, from Hogan's perspective, that he resembled a star in the night sky. Which was ironic; as a Monster of the Week, he was anything but.

Wall and Hogan actually wrestled later that night, and in their only singles meeting, the lime green Power Plant grad went over by disqualification.
