WCW Nitro beat WWE Raw in the ratings for 83 weeks in a row with Hogan leading the way, but WWE ultimately beat out and purchased WCW, leading to Hogan's return to WWE in 2002.Įventually, Hogan made the move to TNA and was with the promotion from 2009 to '13 before returning to WWE in 2014 under a legends contract. He made the move to WCW in 1994 and helped change the business by turning heel and leading the New World Order (nWo) as Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

Hogan was the face of the Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection, played a pivotal role in the success of WrestleMania and wrestled in the main event of eight of the first nine WrestleManias. The 68-year-old Hogan is one of the most popular and recognizable figures in pro wrestling history thanks largely to what he accomplished in WWE in the 1980s and early 1990s.
