5 Returns That Fizzled...

5. Hulk Hogan (1993)

Stop me if you€™ve heard this one before. Hulk Hogan returns from €œretirement€ in 1993 (ie, his failed movie career and ducking the steroid trials), now toting Jimmy Hart as his manager, and immediately wants the World title back, which kind of undermines the experiment of having Bret Hart on top of the promotion. Vince tells Bret that he€™ll get the title back at Summerslam (he was lying), and Hogan ends up walking out of Wrestlemania IX as the champion. Not coincidentally that€™s considered by far the worst Wrestlemania in history. Business dies with Hogan on top again, Hogan decides to get out before any further blame can be thrown his way, and he leaves the business until resurfacing in WCW in 1994. That at least went better for him, but I think we€™d all like to forget Hulk€™s ill-fated fourth WWF title run. But it wasn€™t to be his LAST run€
