14 Wrestlers With Winning Records Over Hulk Hogan
7. Antonio Inoki
André only had Hogan's number as the winningest US-based wrestler in the '80s because Hogan made it as the biggest draw almost at the exact same time as Andrés body gave out.
Then again, André might not have been too keen on doing the honour were he healthy.
It was a different story in the east. While the origins of Hulkamania can be traced to his time in NJPW - and the AWA, and through Rocky III, rendering the premise of the WrestleMania XIX match against Vince McMahon a little less credible than WWE had intended - in New Japan, Inoki was king. God. Literally, the creator.
He was the founder and the top star, enjoying a level of protection unlike anybody else. Inoki - and he was probably right to do it, owing to his extravagant popularity - made Triple H look like Bryan Danielson.
Inoki was so protected that one of his losses to Hogan, in the 1983 IWGP League, occurred by accident. Hogan struck Inoki with his NJPW finish, the Ax Bomber, and Inoki knocked himself out cold bumping to the outside. The ref was forced with no choice but to end it via stoppage.
Overall, though, Inoki's record over Hogan reads 6-1-3.
