WWF Hall of Fame (2005)
Larger than life wrestling figure. When you think of Wrestling, you think of the immortal one, Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan got a run with WWF in the early 80's. The times were changing, and instead of hiring the classic mat wrestler, the WWF were looking for larger than life figures, and Hogan fitted that perfectly.
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.

Has accomplished much in a business now billed for giants. Mysterio started his more high profile part of his career in ECW before moving to WCW where he found some success in the cruiserweight division. His popularity grew in the WCW before the buyout.
Came to WWE with alot of fan fare and has accomplished more since. Winning the Heavyweight Title being the highlight.
