#3 His acting career
Vince McMahon has always been obsessed with ‘crossover appeal’. He has always wanted his biggest stars to make it big in Hollywood or in some other venture, to prove that he had the know-how to make a genuine star. While some former WWE Champions have indeed managed to achieve success in feature films (Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson, Batista), others have not. Case in point: Hulk Hogan’s acting career.
While no one can deny that Hogan could cut a promo and rile up any wrestling audience, his screen acting skills left a lot to be desired. Hogan’s acting career has been disappointing, with him appearing in only a few films that were truly successful. The greatest film to feature Hogan in any way was Rocky III, but he wasn’t the lead actor in that film, but a supporting one. Films in which Hogan was the star, like Suburban Commando, Mr Nanny and No Holds Barred, were all commercial and critical flops.
Few of these films did much to elevate Hogan’s reputation among non-wrestling fans, and in some ways damaged his reputation among actual wrestling fans by exposing his flaws in an environment in which he wasn’t in his element. Clearly, Hogan should’ve stayed in the squared circle.
