10 Biggest Megalomaniacs In WWE History

5. Hulk Hogan

You know something brother, Hulk Hogan isn’t just the biggest Hulkamaniac in the wrestling world, dude, he’s also one of the biggest megalomaniacs of all-time as well. His ego is the size of a thousand Andre the Giants, and his thirst for power was bigger than the Mega Powers colliding. He could have beat the entire WWF roster in 1989 at the same time, and it still likely wouldn’t have been enough for him.

It makes sense for a wrestler to want to protect their spot on the card, but there comes a point when you need to place your own desires to the side and do what’s best for the business. Hogan has proved time and time again that he has been completely unwilling to do that. He is the ultimate politician, a man who is only interested in promoting the Hogan brand.

He's created a vacuum around himself over his career, and while he’s achieved incredible success, very few have been to thrive in his presence, as he has proved to be rather paranoid and protective of his spot. It’s fitting that his reality show was called Hogan Knows Best, as he seemed to believe he always knew best, though everything he seemed to know of involved himself.

Countless careers were damaged because of his unwillingness to cooperate or put someone over. You could make a fair claim that if Hogan had simply worked with younger talent in WCW in meaningful ways, the company could have had a better chance at survival. He even pushed for a match at WrestleMania after he turned 60. In his mind, he probably felt he deserved to Big Boot and leg drop the WWE Title away from the whoever held it.

Whenever he does return to the company, you can be assured that he’ll push for one more title run, no matter how absurd it sounds to everyone else. He could be 100 years old and still think that Hulkamania is as big as ever.
