10 Most Shocking WrestleMania Turns
4. Hulk Hogan (WrestleMania X8)
A turn many within the company predicted but few imagined would occur with such veracity, Hulk Hogan's 2002 return to the 'Show of Shows' in Toronto made for one of the all time great WrestleMania moments.
It was clear within minutes that the crowd were simply far too enamoured with 'The Hulkster' to allow his match with The Rock to follow the intended formula, and highlighted the robust professionalism of 'The Great One' to carefully adjust his act in line with the response.
Suddenly, all of Rock's babyface comebacks became cynical knocks at the perma-tanned icon's facade. Every back-rake and eye-poke from Hulk was a smart tactic from the old legend fighting from underneath and even in defeat, Hogan looked a battle-warn warrior who'd lost a narrow war. More pathos was to come, with Rock helping 'Hollywood' fend off an attack from his former nWo comrades Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to abruptly sever the group just a month in to their WWE run.
With the turn officially marked, the Toronto fans could see out the emotionally exhausting encounter gleefully cheering both industry icons as they took to the stage together in celebration.
