The WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has achieved immense success in his first run with the company. But when Hulk Hogan returned from the WCW, he was way past his prime years.

But despite that, Hulk Hogan had epic matches when he came back to the WWE. One of the most underrated feuds, when Hulk Hogan returned to the company, was with The Legend Killer. The Legend Killer was at the prime of his WWE career, and he challenged Hulk Hogan.

WWE Hall of Famer in 2006 locked horns with 14-time WWE Champion Randy Orton. ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton called out Hulk Hogan when he disrespected Hogan’s 18-year-old daughter.

The Viper was invited to Ryan Satin’s ‘Out of Character’ podcast, and the host asked him what’s the most glorious he had ever hit.

“Hitting Hogan with that RKO in the match was pretty bada**. And I know that was at a point in his career where he was not necessarily want to take those kinds of bumps. So, the fact that he [Hulk Hogan] bumped for me on that, I thought, was pretty cool. I think he held the top rope and kind of wrote it down,” Orton said.
