4. Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, "Macho Man" Randy Savage Baywatch (1995)
God created the Heavens, he created the Earth! He created all the Hulkamaniacs! Then, he created a set of 24-inch pythons, brother! Sorry, '80s nostalgia moment. Hulk Hogan and professional wrestling dominated the '90s. When Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Vader and Kevin Sullivan appeared on Baywatch it showed just how huge wrestling was. Back in the day, if a wrestler showed up on TV or in a movie, ratings and ticket sales would go through the ceiling, you would hear about it in school, work, magazines, and everywhere else. It is still like that to an extent but not on the same level and you have to think that TV episodes such as this were the cause. The opening of this Baywatch/WCW crossover involves wrestling personalities in a jet-ski calamity (I say calamity, Hulk actually gets brained by a flying vehicle, something which would no doubt kill any ordinary non-moustachioed man) being saved by our favourite well-proportioned lifeguard Pamela Anderson. The rest of the episode involves some shoddy plot about shady developers that only professional wrestler can stop...or something like that. Needless to say, shirtless hilarity ensued.
