2. Hulkamania
One of Vince McMahon's unquestionably greatest creations is Hulkamania, the wave of fandom for Hulk Hogan that swept the world in the 1980s through to the 90s, exacerbated considerably by Hogan's stature as an all-American hero, facing off against foreign invaders such as The Iron Sheik and Sergeant Slaughter. Essentially a live-action equivalent of a comic book hero like Captain America, Hogan had the charisma and look to become arguably the most popular wrestler in history, selling merchandise and WWF tickets by the bucket-load. While his fame has never been as pronounced as it was in that boom period, he's always going to be a marquee figure until the day he dies, and a movie about his life would certainly make for fascinating viewing. Like McMahon, though, who the Hell would you even consider casting in a role that distinctive?
