Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff (Jul 1986 – Mar 1987)

Paul Orndorff spent a year as Hulk Hogan's tag partner and closest friend in the ring, then piledrove him on live television because Hogan was too busy squatting weights to take his phone call. The payoff filled Toronto's Exhibition Stadium with a then-record wrestling crowd and ended, months later, with a steel cage restart so contested it helped invent a corrupt referee angle nobody had planned.

Hulk Hogan vs. Macho Man Randy Savage (Oct 1987 – Apr 1989)

The partnership between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage collapsed at WrestleMania V in one of the WWF's most carefully built storylines, driven by jealousy over Miss Elizabeth and the WWF Championship.
