Arguably the biggest name on this list, Hulk Hogan has been involved in several high profile feuds throughout his career in the spotlight. Whether it was Bret Hart and Randy Savage or Linda Hogan and Bubba The Love Sponge, Hogan has been the premier drama queen but his magnetism to the dirt seems to have stemmed from his problems with Vince McMahon. A combination of Hogan's lies about his anabolic steroid use, his growing ego, and a refusal to cater to McMahon's wishes lead to a rift between the two money-makers beginning in 1990. Insisting on receiving his full $1 million payment for work on No Holds Barred, Hogan was asked by Vince to forego some of that money once it became clear the movie would bomb. Obviously, Hulk's refusal didn't please Vince. Later, Hogan would refuse to put Vince's new star, Bret Hart, over in the ring and instead, left the company in 1993. In 1994, Hogan testified against Vince McMahon in an infamous trial that will be discussed shortly, but Hogan's testimony did little to help the prosecution. Around the same time, Hulk defected to WCW which eventually allowed the rival wrestling company to eclipse McMahon's in the ratings and had the father of sports-entertainment on the ropes. It took years for the two to truly bury the hatchet and do business again, but, like other talents before and after him, Hogan would have another fallout with the Chairman and leave for competitor TNA. Although that choice was ultimately forgiven as well, Hogan's poor decisions and questionable lifestyle choices have lead to the Hulkster being currently ostracized by WWE.
