10 Most Infamous WWE Royal Rumble Controversies
3. Hulk Hogan Has A Tantrum (1992)
Hulkamani-waaaaaaaaaaa!
That's what Hogan should've been called when he was reportedly throwing quite the temper tantrum backstage at the 1992 Rumble. At least, Sid claims he was, and who are mere mortals to argue with the 'Man Who Rules The World'.
Seriously though, Sid claimed on Sean Mooney's 'Prime Time' show that Hulk screamed at Vince McMahon backstage after the Rumble match had concluded. Hogan was apparently upset at the way things had been handled, and at Sid for his part in things. That outburst from the biggest star in the biz caused Sid to tell Vince that he couldn't be in a company "where grown men act like women".
Of course, Sid would stick around long enough to work Hogan at WrestleMania VIII. He swears to this day that Hulk threw quite the hissy fit at the Rumble - meanwhile, Ric Flair was probs cutting his legendary, "...with a tear in my eye" promo at the same time.
