5 WWE Superstars and their major career mistakes

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan regretted using his finisher

While the majority of WWE finishers cause more damage to opponents than the Superstar who delivers the move, that was certainly not the case for Hulk Hogan.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in October 2019, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he wishes he did not use the leg drop as a finishing move throughout his 35-year career in the wrestling business

“Everyone says they wouldn’t change anything about their life. If I could change anything, it would be my finisher. I would never use the leg drop. I’d use the sleeper. All the back surgeries I’ve had are because of that damn leg drop. I had scoliosis, brother.”

Hogan confirmed to TMZ after his 10th back surgery in May 2020 that he has had 17 surgeries over the last decade, including on his knees and hips.

Despite the surgeries, The Hulkster still appears to have his heart set on competing in one last match in WWE.

The 67-year-old also said in his interview with the LA Times that he was planning to get in the best shape of his life ahead of a possible retirement match in WWE, with Vince McMahon being his preferred opponent.
