10 Most Memorable WWE Funeral Parlor Segments

2. Hulk Hogan (16 November 1991)

Can we take a moment to appreciate the sheer magnitude of star power on WWF's roster in 1991-92? No wonder so many cite the 1992 Royal Rumble as the best of all-time, the cast was LOADED.

If you were a young Hulkamaniac around this time, The Undertaker was public enemy number one and the top two entries are the reason why.

Goaded for months by Ric Flair and his 'Gravest Challenge' yet, the Hulkster agreed to defend the WWF Title against The Undertaker at Survivor Series and at last had his day in the Parlor. What Hogan wasn't planning on was Flair's arrival, hitting the stage to poke the bear in person for the first time on WWF TV. Naturally, the champion took the bait and 'The Nature Boy' flipped the switch-a "parlor trick", if you will-leading Hulk into an ambush.

'Taker emerged from the oft-used coffin on the set and laid waste to not just another hero, THE hero. Thankfully, Roddy Piper and Randy Savage left commentary to aid Hogan, but the psychological damage was done. As he clutched the broken crucifix in his palm, legions of Hulkamaniacs watched helplessly as the Immortal One pondered his mortality.
