The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan are two unique idols in WWE history. While they have absolutely nothing in similar, they were worshipped by the same arenas over their long illustrious careers. Through decades of creative storylines, thrilling feuds and stupendous theatrics, both of these legends conquered glory.
Many would not recollect the rivalry between them as the squared circle has seen way more captivating battles that changed the flow of WWE. But The Hulkster and The Deadman have locked horns in a few raging segments when they crossed path sometimes.
Here’s a throwback to 2002 Judgement Day, where they both engaged in a rough trash talk, with especially Taker’s words make us wonder if he really meant every word.

Here, The Undertaker is responding to the Hulkster, saying, “Let me tell you what I’m gonna do. When Hulkamania runs wild on me, I’m gonna beat you down like the b***h you are.” Moreover, Taker won the match with a second chokeslam on Hogan, which eventually led to the entire appeal of The Hulkamania in WWE losing all its glitter.

A look back at the rivalry between The Undertaker and The Hulkster
Including the major feud in 2002, there was always a bad blood between Hulk Hogan and ‘The Phenom’. Even Taker’s first WWE Championship was by beating the 2-time Hall of Famer. Also, there was an incident in that match, where Hogan accused the young Undertaker for injuring him, by faking it.
‘The Deadman’ felt guilty for injuring a legend at first. Later, The Undertaker found out about it watching the match video. He still carries that memory through which he understood an important thing about the sly Hogan.
While some people would side with Hogan for the petty tricks he did to win, and his personality, Undertaker never sold it. Further, they had a motorcycle storyline as part of the 2002 match. Hogan stole Taker’s motorcycle, which was his trademark in the American Bada** gimmick. The Hulkamania could not get the vehicle to start and the segment got worse. Taker bursted out laughing when he told the story.

The 2002 match was not an astonishing one, as it only contained worn out moves and poorly sold choke slammers. It was, but, their last face-off, even though it feels like they should have feuded more. Currently, both are enjoying their retirement life, with sporadic public appearances as well.
