9 Wrestlers Who Came Back From The Dead

9. The Giant

In the fall of 1995, just under a year before he dodged litter during his industry-shaking heel turn at Bash at the Beach, Hulk Hogan was already low-key experimenting with a pivot to the dark side. At October's Halloween Havoc, the Hulkster emerged for his championship clash in a cool all black ensemble, 'tache ludicrously absent, and with evil under his belt. After all, he'd killed a man earlier in the night.

His opponent, no less. As a motoring matinee to their main event clash, Hogan and the Dungeon of Doom's latest denizen, The Giant, ridiculously commandeered monster trucks as they took turns slowly ramming one another on the roof of Detroit's Cobo Hall. Once the fannying about had concluded, the drivers got into an unsporting scrap, which ended with The Giant tragically falling off the roof to his death.

The pathos is priceless, as a contrite Hogan (although happy to maim his opponent with a 10,000 lb vehicle) shows visible distress watching his paycheque crash into the Detroit River. He needn't have worried; whilst apologising to fans for the "terrible accident", the future Big Show walked out absolutely right as rain. He wasn't even wet! Now that's how you style out death.
