10 of the most controversial wrestlers of all time

#10 Hulk Hogan

Hogan's affair with his friend Bubba the Love Sponge's wife became all too public thanks to an internet leak.

Hulk Hogan is without a shadow of a doubt the biggest star in pro wrestling history. The Rock's movies make more money, Ric Flair has won more championships, and John Cena is a household name, but Hogan is the star who truly helped elevate the sport from small arenas into huge mega events like Wrestlemania.

That being said, he has been in several controversial situations over the years. His most recent foray into tabloid stardom had to do with a leaked tape of himself having an amorous adventure with a friend's wife, which wound up all over the internet.

While the Hulkster seemed to come out on top, winning a billion dollar settlement against website Gawker, it was some of the things he said on the tape that landed him in hot water with the court of public opinion, and his fellow wrestlers. Hogan uttered the dreaded 'N word', and got on the bad side of the New Day in the process.

Hogan had been suspended from the WWE Hall of Fame due to the comments, though he has been recently reinstated. It just goes to show that not even the biggest wrestling star of all time can escape controversy.
