7 Wrestlers Who Were Blatant Knock-Offs

7. WCW Had A Hulk Hogan-Like Jobber Named Randy Hogan

In the late '80s, WCW decided to fight back against the WWF's iconic megastar Hulk Hogan in the pettiest, most impotent way possible: with a knock-off version that looked like your weird uncle cosplaying as the WWF Champion. And, also like your weird uncle, he was named Randy.

If you tried to make Hulk Hogan in create-a-wrestler mode but kept a bunch of default settings, you'd end up with Randy Hogan. He had the bald head, the bleached hair on the sides, and the blond Fu Manchu, but everything else about him was... off. He was shorter than Hulk and lacked his signature tan, with a complexion that could best be described as Silly Putty.

None of this was important, of course - Randy Hogan was seemingly only on the roster so WCW management could watch "Hogan" job out to their top stars like Vader and Sting.

Randymania would continue to run mild over WCW until 1994, shortly before The Hulkster himself finally signed with the promotion. Sadly, this meant that we never got to see Hogan vs. Hogan headline Starrcade in a match that would've surely drawn hundreds of dollars for WCW.
