13. The Megapowers Join Forces - WWF (1988)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDWalFmERhY Rare is the promo that exists where Hulk Hogan actually bites someone else's promo style, but here he is describing what it is to have "Macho Madness" join up with "Hulkamania" and he's talking about "the ionosphere." Yeahhh...now Hulk Hogan spoke of many completely insane things in his promos in the 1980s. But celestial bodies were strictly the realm of three people. Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior. Moreso, this one is awesome because on some level, Randy Savage is either burning up on the inside because Hogan's aping his work, or possibly super proud because when Hulk Hogan tries to sound like you at year four of his legendary nine-year WWF run, it's the ultimate co-sign.
