Legalese may be behind WWE's decision to ignore some of their past performers' WrestleMania contributions, but this next one has more to do with public perception.

Hulk Hogan was infamously removed from all things WWE after derogatory racial comments he made were leaked in 2015 as part of a sex tape. Try as they might, WWE was unable to scrub Hogan from the history of WrestleMania with moments like him slamming Andre, the Ultimate Challenge, or his match against The Rock all woven deep into the fabric of their annual spectacular. Hulk's latest WrestleMania Moment from 2015, however, is a different story.

At WrestleMania 31, moments after Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and X-Pac hit the ring as D-Generation X during the Triple H vs. Sting match, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Hollywood Hogan (the nWo) followed suit. Shawn Michaels soon joined the party and capped off an epic showdown between two legendary groups.

For years, fans had wondered what it would look like to see the nWo square off against DX. Though it was short-lived and didn't provide a true payoff, there's no doubt that this Lost WrestleMania Moment was one of 31's most memorable for many longtime wrestling fans.
