The man behind the immense growth of WWE had massive support from one wrestler. This wrestler is none other than his babyface champion and golden boy, Hulk Hogan. With his 24-inch Python arms and his massive Hulkamania fans, the two led the wrestling world in a different direction. Their pairing was one of the most important things that revolutionized the way we look at wrestling today.

The fact that McMahon was able to build Hogan into this big star says a lot about how great of a promoter he was at his peak. But this does not take away from the amazing work Hogan has done over the years.

While we all know that the two have had their differences in the past, they have always been good friends. They have let a lot of things under the bridge like the nWo or the TNA challenge to WWE and now both legends relax in their retirement phase.

Hulk Hogan once shared a rare photo with his boss in the ’80s

Back in 2019, Hogan shared a rare photo on Twitter showing the Hulkster and his boss training in a gym. The photo looks like it might have been clicked in the ’80s as that was the time when hogan’s popularity was sky high and no one could come close to his pedestal. Another thing to notice here is that McMahon looks nothing like what he would in a few years during the Attitude Era.

It is said that Vince McMahon only did two things before he retired from his position as CEO and chairman. One was to manage everything around and concerning WWE and the other was to spend time in his gym. The man was so taken by big strong men that he achieved that state in the ’90s. Seeing McMahon then would’ve been identical to seeing a wrestler.

Hogan and McMahon would exchange blows at one moment as well when they wrestled at WrestleMania 19. The match was bloody, but it signified the hurdles and troubles both had to face to come to this juncture. While McMahon has had his time in the limelight more times than we can count, we would love to see Hogan make a return for one last match.
