Imagine one of his signature moves wasn’t the body slam but rather a combination of shameless spanking and humping on a helpless opponent, which he delivered to Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III - would that moment ever become as big as it is? Let's take Hulk Hogan, for example, who is by far the most well-known wrestling name there has ever been and likely ever will be. Whether intentional or not, these moves are hard to take seriously when it comes to crunch time in an important pay-per-view match with millions of people all across the world tuning in.
