1. Rowdy Roddy Piper (1984-1987, 1989-1996, 2003 & 2005)
WWE.comI think even Hulk Hogan would agree that there would be no Hulk Hogan without the Hot Rod, Roddy Piper. During his championship years, Piper was Hogans main nemesis, and together, the two carried the World Wrestling Federation to National prominence. And, it was with those larger-than-life personas, that wrestlings Dynamic Duo literally, almost double-handedly not just put WrestleMania on the map, but made it a household name for the next three decades to come. Piper and Hogan perhaps complimented each other better than any baby/heel had before . . . or since. One could only wonder, could the popularity of the business at the time have reached even higher levels had Piper beaten Hogan for the belt and it was the Hulkster doing the chasing for a while?Better yet, if that did indeed happen, would we have seen a heel version of the Hulkster 10 years prior to there ever being an NWO? Sadly, I guess well never know!
