14 Wrestlers With Winning Records Over Hulk Hogan

1. Bob Armstrong

The Mountie Hulk Hogan
WWE

Hulkamania was to many people the big bang of the North American pro wrestling history.

Entire swathes of history have been all but erased, such was Hulk Hogan's star power and the technicolour era he ushered in. Because wrestling as you know it practically began in parallel with Hogan - pay-per-view, lavish production values, home video - wrestling itself might as well have. Compounding that phenomenon, the rise of Hulkamania was a convenient start date for Vince McMahon and his revisionist history exercise, too: it was his first big hit.

(As with so much else, it wasn't actually his.)

When he was on the come-up as Sterling Golden - which, fittingly for a guy whose selling routine involved shaking liquid from his hair when moving his head from side-to-side, reads like a dog breed - Hogan wasn't yet the all-conquering hero, the man who always won lol.

To underscore that, he did a job down in Georgia for Bob Armstrong back in 1979.
