7. There's A Warrior In My Mirror!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78XbX5tVFeY Okay, so the Warrior could be a bit goofy at times. But you gotta give him credit for taking chances. The man took some serious storyline risks. Now, some of his promos and angles were so bizarre that they were awesome. At other times...well, they were something else. During Warrior's feud with Hogan in 1998, things got a little weird. Then they got very weird. First off, Warrior somehow learned how to teleport since we saw him last in the WWF. Good for him. But he also started to turn into Batman Jr. with his own Warrior signal and catchphrase "Tune in next week. Same Warrior time. Same Warrior channel." Well, that's not exactly what most fans probably had in mind for his return. But perhaps the most infamous moment of his WCW run was when Warrior somehow got behind Hogan's mirror and Eric Bischoff, who was right next to The Hulkster, couldn't see him. Hogan was freaking out, but Bischoff had no idea what he was talking about. He figured that all of Warrior's mind games were finally getting to The Hulkster. And I guess they were, but he also got to the announcers who could see him in the mirror, as well as the millions of people watching at home could too. For a wrestler who bled green ooze after having a curse put on him by Papa Shango, this still seemed like his career's most ridiculous moment. And one I'll never forget.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
