10 Times Hulk Hogan Was The Worst Babyface Ever

6. Attempted Murder - Halloween Havoc 1995

Back at 1995's Halloween Havoc PPV, Hulk Hogan was still nearly nine months away from turning heel and forming the New World Order with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. But despite still being a babyface at Halloween Havoc, that didn't stop Hogan from carrying out what was tantamount to attempted murder.

On that October '95 night, Hogan was involved in a bizarre rooftop-set Monster Truck contest against the recently arrived Giant. While Hulk's muscle car would come out victorious over Paul Wight's jacked-up truck, the fallout of this battle saw the two stars engulf in the sort of cheesy shenanigans that only pre-nWo WCW could do.

As Hulk and The Giant struggled towards the roof edge of Detroit's Cobo Hall, Hogan got the better of his opponent. And by better, that meant that he did just enough to see the future Big Show wildly flapping his arms as he fell several floors to his death.

Only The Giant didn't, for he returned later in the night to challenge for Hogan's WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Regardless of The Giant making it to the main event in one piece - with not even a scratch, might I add - that still doesn't mean that über babyface Hulk Hogan inadvertently nearly killed a man.
