Michael Jordan’s Former Teammate Dennis Rodman Put His NBA Career at Risk to Help Hulk Hogan Make an Unforgettable Wrestling Moment

In the ’80s and ’90s, Hulk Hogan was the hottest commodity to come out of WWE. This meant that his footprint in the pop culture of that time was imminent. During his time at the top, many celebrities and guest stars shared the ring with the Hulkster. Not to boast about Hogan, but the man shared the ring with 5 different celebs at different periods of time in WWE alone.

He had a spot with a good friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joe Manganiello in 2014 to promote their movie. At a different time, Snoop Dogg dropped in and imitated the Hulkster with Hogan beside him in the middle of the ring.

But the most iconic of these has to be Mr. T. The man who made WrestleMania 1 happen alongside Hogan. But one who gets overshadowed is Muhammad Ali, who raised the winners at that night. And it’s not just Hulk Hogan that is a celebrity magnet because Big Show also brought many to the wrestling ring.

NBA All-Star’s appearance in WCW with Hulk Hogan could’ve cost his career

But even after leaving WWE and joining the competition WCW, the fame of the Hulkster remained still. In WCW, he had a match at the Bash of the Beach pay-per-view with no one but NBA All-Star Dennis Rodman. But one that cost Rodman something that Hogan can never bring back and a lot of heat from his own fans.

To meet with Hulk Hogan, Rodman had to skip practice during NBA Finals. Not only would Michael Jordan, the legend himself, would rip into Rodman, but his fans would turn on him as well. It was very unprofessional and insincere to leave practice at such a crucial point for his team. But one thing that fortunately didn’t happen is Rodman’s career-derailing.

But nothing happened with Rodman’s career. And fans witnessed the best celebrity tag team match in WCW. For Rodman, things turned out in the best possible situation, but that doesn’t happen with everyone.
