7. Hulk Hogan’s 2002 Return
In 2002, the WWE ran with the storyline of incorporating the nWo into the league. It proved to be a bit of a dull affair actually, but the nostalgia factor was certainly there. Hogan was announced as a member and the audience reacted appropriately. The next night was a different story however.
Hogan made a solo return, and the crowd went wild. It was clear from the get go that he would be billed as a WWE villain from this point forward, but he was still so popular that he had a hard time making the fans dislike him. It all culminated in a clash of two of the most popular wrestlers of all time. The Rock walked out to huge applause and challenged the Hulkster to the next WrestleMania match.
