The immortal one, Hulk Hogan, carried the WWF on his shoulders throughout the 1980s during the infancy and boom of PPV. He headlined Wrestlemania after Wrestlemania until leaving the World Wrestling Federation. His jump to WCW and later heel turn set the stage for historic period. The nWo would never have reached it's pinnacle without Hollywood Hulk Hogan just as Vince McMahon could not have built his 1980's empire without Hulk Hogan. To his fans he's not just "The Real American", he's the living embodiment of professional wrestling.
