Hogan went on to have a massive run, winning the title 5 times between 83-93, and became possibly the most popular of all time.

He later shifted to WCW with plenty more success.

Hogan popped up once again in the WWE in 2002, reforming the nWo with Hall and Nash.

Since, Hogan has had several appearances within WWE since, yet at the present the 2 arn't the greatest friends.

Hogan was inducted to the hall of fame in 2005
