#1 Hulk Hogan

It wouldnt shock anyone to see Hulk Hogans name topping the list. The Hulkster was one of the most popular figures during the 80s and early 90s, and broke barriers and transcended the wrestling business. Every kid around the world knew who Hulk Hogan was, and every kid became a fan of the immortal one. Although Hulk Hogan didnt receive high praises from the smart wrestling fans for his inability to put on great matches and taking things lightly, he was still the most famous professional wrestler in the then WWF till the time he left the company.

When Hogan and WCW were riding high, it was glory days again for Hogan, but when WCW started doing bad numbers and was sinking fast, Hogan quickly made an appearance on Jay Lenos show and announced that he was retiring from professional wrestling, although it turned out to be a publicity stunt. Hogan came out of retirement and won the WCW heavyweight title, but left WCW because of a dispute with Vince Russo. Hogan came out retirement to face Shawn Michaels and after making cameos now and again, he signed with TNA wrestling, and started taking all the limelight. In the end, Hogan did more damage than good for TNA, and eventually left the company. Hogan then signed a legends deal with the WWE and came back to the organization.
