5. Hulkamaniacs: Edge and Hulk Hogan win Tag Titles
It’s not very often in life that people get to play alongside their sports idols, let alone win a championship with them, but for life-long fan turned WWE Superstar, Edge, it was a dream come true.
Like so, so many children growing up during the “golden era of pro wrestling,” Edge loved Hulk Hogan. So much so that he and best friend/fellow WWE Superstar Christian were able to score floor tickets to catch the Hulkster go head-to-head with Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI in Toronto. By chance, the cameras caught the young “Rated-R Superstar” and his ecstatic reaction to Hogan’s entrance.
Years later, Edge would get to realize his boyhood dream when on (American) Independence Day 2002, he and his childhood hero would pull out a shock victory to win the Tag Team titles. A giddy Edge couldn’t help but melt back into a kid right before our eyes. In doing so, we were given two iconic images, to prove for all time, that dreams really can come true.
