1. The Ultimate Warrior - He beat Hulk Hogan in a clean victory at Wrestlemania VI to win the WWF Title and retain the Intercontinental Title. Was targeted for big things, but lost the belt to Sgt. Slaughter, went crazy and all but vanished but not before demanding more money from Vince hours before a PPV and no-showing events. Then eventually ended up in WCW and all he wanted to do was talk. Then he disappeared from the wrestling world and all he does now is whine on his website and goes to colleges making anti-gay comments.

Quite possibly the greatest match they ever had thanks to some serious coreography. A loss for Hogan, sure, but he ended up weaseling his way back anymay.

2. Sting - Beat Hogan for the WCW Title at Starrcade and relaunched his career as the "Dark Crow" Sting. Lost momentum and then the title to Savage. Started not wearing his cool trenchcoat to the ring after the Columbine massacre and lost more momentum, had a failed heel turn, and got wiped out of WCW by the then champ Scott Steiner, only to return on the last Nitro. Turned to God and refuses to work for WWE.

Yeah, Sting beat Hogan in the same sense that I can beat a three-legged dog dying of pneumonia. Hogan defeated him cleanly in a match that was ONE YEAR in the making where everyone was dying to see Sting beat the ever-loving snot out of Hogan. One Dusty finish later and you have the lamest title win this side of the Fingerpoke of Doom. Sting's later character booking can be blamed on the writers, not Sting himself.

3. Goldberg - Took the WCW title from Hogan on Nitro, and eventually lost it back to Nash. After the "fingerpoke of doom" match, lost a lot of momentum. Like Sting, had a failed heel turn, and several injuries wiped out a lot of his heat. And then had a very crappy run in the WWE.
|
Again, that's not the fault of the guy in question. Who had the right to end Goldberg's streak prematurely when he was busy making everyone rich?

4. Billy Kidman - After the back and forth verbal pot shots Kidman and Hogan gave each other for a while, Kidman turned heel and targeted Hogan in what was definitely the highlight of Kidman's boring character. After a few months of cheap shots, he finally had his career handed to him by Hogan. Kidman soon went back to being a babyface, and a dull one at that.
|
Losing to someone and putting them over are two different things. Not to mention Billy Kidman is a lame ass choice for a main event push. Hogan didn't do squat here.

5. The Rock - In one of the best angles in recent times, The Rock beat Hogan in a match that brought the house down. The Rock soon became a full-time movie star and retired from wrestling.
|
Hogan should've been blessed that the Rock was willing to do the work of 10 guys at WM 18 to make sure His Hulkness still looked watchable. Hogan should also take an example from the Rock with that whole retirement thing considering he's older.

6. Brock Lesnar - He had a huge build-up, was beating every wrestler left and right and put an end to Hogan's huge 2002 run and like so many others Hogan passed the torch to, he screwed up.
|
Hogan wanted a job in return from Brock so their was no altruism here either. Not to mention that Brock was bland with no passion for wrestling anyway.

Then you have Randy Orton. It's a good thing Hogan didn't lay out for Orton because look what happened to him.
|
And look what happened to Hogan. Hurt his knee getting up FROM HIS COUCH and doesn't even show up on a regular basis. What benefit does Hogan get from a win over a guy who's literally half his age with the gimmick of a legend killer? I don't like Orton, mind you but even I have to admit that was pretty retarded. Don't speak as if Hogan has the right to some sort of immunity because he doesn't.
