10 Wrestling Moments Made Better With Hulk Hogan Erased
5. Hulk Hogan Being "Banished Forever" From WWE After Being Outed As Mr. America
Hulk Hogan's 2003 frustrations with WWE creative that resulted in the dismissal of Hogan in the midst of his run as Mr. America could've erased everything that Hogan did with WWE after 2003, including his 2005 Hall of Fame induction that has been rescinded during the current scandal. Vince as a heel Mr. McMahon really ramping up the tirade in 2003 by ripping up Hulkamania shirts, trashing pictures of he and Hogan together during the 80s, maybe even banning the use of his name (which would've made sense given the WWE's cease and desist from Marvel Comics during the era) and playing "Real American," too. In erasing Hogan visually and maybe getting some business out of it, a moment was missed.
