10. Dennis Rodman
Being Hulk Hogan’s friend in modern times could be considered a mildly controversial move, but when your other celebrity best friend is Kim Jong-Un, the controversy probably doesn’t irk you too deeply.
Dennis Rodman is a rather unique figure in pop culture, one who would befriend just about anyone, and his union with The Hulkster started sometime around 1990. Their acquaintanceship blossomed into a lifelong friendship in the late 90s, when Hogan introduced Rodman to the world of wrestling as a member of the new World order.
Most of Hogan’s friends would agree he helped out their wrestling careers, although Rodman takes it a step further by having practically only ever appeared on-screen with Hogan or their mutual friend Randy Savage.
Of course, WCW was simply happy to have Rodman’s mainstream star on board, and Hogan was definitely benefiting from the Rodman’s fame, too, which is likely why he kept him around. Hogan and The Worm would keep wrestling together years later on Hogan’s reality show Celebrity Wrestling, a contest that Rodman won.
