10 Wrestlers Who Hulk Hogan Refused To Lose Against
5. Randy Orton
Throughout the career of Randy Orton, one of the main periods in his career that stands out is when he began to dub himself the Legend Killer. Disrespecting or taking out the likes of Jake Roberts, Ric Flair, Harley Race, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes and even Shawn Michaels, Summerslam 2006 saw Orton focus his sights on Hulk Hogan. The Hulkster agreed to do the match on the condition that the WWE gave a bit of love to daughter Brookes debut CD, and all was set for Hogan to help elevate the star of Randall Keith Orton. As the match got closer, Hogan would again play the creative control card and would defeat Orton at Summerslam. At the age of 53, suffering from bad knees and having wrestled just one match in the last year, Hulk Hogan would pin the 26 year old Randy Orton in the middle of the ring, 1-2-3, before then leaving the company for a while and essentially calling time on his WWE in-ring career.
