6. Hulk Hogan's Random Babyface Turn Near The End Of WCW
By August 1999, WCW was a total mess. Somehow, whenever wrestling promotions in peril turn to Hulk Hogan for help, he feels that pairing himself with Jimmy Hart, donning the red and yellow and becoming World Champion is the best solution. Somehow, in the space of five days, "red and yellow" Hogan returned to WCW, popped a rise in Nitro's declining ratings, conquered Kevin Nash and amazingly enough, was gone by October 1999. Hogan then returned to WCW in February 2000 with Jimmy Hart, and then proceeded to beat Lex Luger and Ric Flair. Of course, by March 2000, WCW devolved into the Millionaire's Club versus New Blood feud, and red and yellow Hogan's random 1999 return became a memory to likely best be forgotten. "Red and yellow" babyface Hogan in WCW in 1999 and 2000 was the best creative idea Hulk Hogan had? Terrible, terrible, terrible.
