10 WWE Betrayals That Were Totally Justified

Hulk Hogan: the WWF's white knight who could do no wrong, and the musclebound dude who encouraged young children to do their homework, give thanks to God and buy his latest Hulkamania merch, damn it. Seriously though, Hogan was the king of all wrestling babyfaces during his original run, and he was always right.

Except when he wasn't and turned out to be a cheating, red and yellow liar.

Hulk's match with the beastly Sid Vicious at WrestleMania VIII had more to do with Hogan's treachery than Sid's wish to put Hogan down because of his babyface standing. In the 1992 Royal Rumble, a match that was for the vacant WWF Title, Hulk had been fairly eliminated by Sid. Then, as all goodies do, he pulled Justice out of the ring from the floor and cost him the chance to win.

That was Sid's main gripe, and he had every right to be upset. Hogan's jealous interjection after he'd been beaten fair and square stopped Sid from winning the big one. The aptly-named Justice had justification for his annoyance, and every reason to beat the hell out of Hulk.
