10 Best Hulk Hogan Matches Ever

When Hogan inducted Savage into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015, he lauded his old "frienemy" for having the ability to bring the people he worked with up to his level of intensity. Throughout their shared WWE run, it's rare to find a Hogan-Savage match that doesn't deliver. If Hulk is to be believed, a lot of credit for the success of those matches goes to the gifted Savage.

Indeed, their WrestleMania 5 clash for Savage's championship was quite intense, due in part to the angle in which Savage accused now-former friend Hogan of "having lust" for Miss Elizabeth. Savage's paranoid psychosis and Hogan's adamant anger made for a fierce outing, standing out in an era where even big matches came with lighter-toned stories.

Hogan gamely keeps pace with the rapid-fire Savage throughout the title bout. In one memorable visual, he emphatically slammed "The Macho Man" over the top rope, which sent Atlantic City into a frenzy and had Jesse Ventura apoplectic. Even larger-than-life Hogan could thrive in storylines that veered toward deeply-personal.
