10 Wrestling Legends' Biggest Crimes Against Fashion

4. Hulk Hogan

The Rock
WWE

It's almost hard to just pick one of the unnatural disasters Hulk Hogan has adorned during his decades of decadence, which is why this entry called for a particularly deep cut.

Coming during the brief and largely uninteresting return of the New World Order in 1999, Hogan turned to his younger colleagues, taking all their best bits to formulate a brand new mid-life crisis look all of his own. With Scott Steiner's white shades, Konnan's plaid shirt atop an nWo tank top and a beanie hat designed for those 20-30 years his junior, 'The Hulkster' was a farcical mishmash clinging to just about anything he could to stay relevant.

Ironically, it would be his last heel look for quite a while. He'd abandon his dark veneer for a surprising return to his traditional red and yellow following a babyface turn that summer.
