20 WWE Superstars And Their 80s Counterparts

John Cena and Hulk Hogan are undisputedly the biggest stars of their day.

For The Hulkster is was popping vitamins, training hard and saying plenty of prayers, whereas for Cena it’s about never giving up and hustle, loyalty and respect (we know that because it’s flashed up on some form of merchandise every few seconds that Cena is on our screens).

Both were and are clean cut, extreme babyfaces in the most spectacular way, are responsible for shilling a whole boatload of merch, and have both been Vince McMahon’s go-to guy when things have gotten ropey over the years.

Limited in the ring but vastly charismatic and engaging, Hogan and Cena are a promoter’s dream. Well, until Hulkamania took a massive hit after Hogan’s racial tirades and ill-informed life choices became public knowledge.

Luckily for Cena, the only offence he’s caused to most fans over the years involves either his violently-bright merchandise or the much-referenced ‘5 moves of doom’.
