10 Most Hated People Behind The Scenes In Wrestling

How do you make a list like this without including The Hulkster? You can try very, very hard to come up with excuses for him. It's hard being the top guy with a permanent bullseye on your back, the wrestlers just below you get jealous, not being a total d*ck is hard, etc.

But, at the end of the day, Hogan earned most of the heat he got backstage.

Not only did he refuse to give up the spotlight to other main event performers (The Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage), but he metaphorically castrated up-and-coming talent like Bret Hart even as The Hulkster was on his way out of the company.

When he jumped ship to WCW, his politicking only became more pronounced. His run-ins with Vince Russo are well-documented, as is his influence over Eric Bischoff.

The Ultimate Warrior just barely buried the hatchet with Hogan before he passed away, while Randy Savage may or may not have harbored hard feelings until the end. The Iron Sheik still believes Hogan is a "f*cking jabroni" who would be nothing without his help, and needs to acknowledge that fact.

Scott Steiner made death threats toward him. Bret Hart once said Hogan "doesn't give a damn about anyone else" and was actually happy over the fallout of his racist rant. Shawn Michaels infamously tanked their "dream match" in 2005 because of behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

If Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels hate you, that's not a good sign...
