10 Most Hated WWE Champions
5. Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan was inarguably the greatest WWE Champion of the 1980s, and a month-long nostalgia run in 2002 as a broken down tribute act to himself started well despite a predictably bitter end.
Lacking the drawing power of his pomp and the charm of his latter chapter though, his 1993 comeback didn't just rain on Bret Hart's parade - it p*ssed all over it. 'The Hitman' was headlining his first WrestleMania against devastating new heel Yokozuna shortly before midcarder-for-the-night Hogan stuck his Fu Manchu in. Dreaming up a longstanding friendship with Hart out of thin air after Yoko and Mr Fuji screwed Bret out of the title, 'The Hulkster' stormed the ring and took the title from the brand new Champion in just 22 seconds.
Topliners toppled, Hogan then f*cked off from the organisation completely, never once even appearing in front of a televised WWE crowd before returning the favour to the sumo star at June's King Of The Ring pay-per-view. He instead took a New Japan Pro Wrestling payday in which he referred to his belt as a 'toy' and a 'trinket' to any media outlet that'd listen.
