There is a no bigger moment in wrestling history than Hulk Hogan coming out on WCW and forming the nWo. It was against everything that the wrestling world stood for as their greatest hero started hating the audience. The amount of heat that Hogan was able to generate in his Hollywood era was unsurmountable as it put WWE behind WCW for the first time in history.

People were mad at Hogan and madly in love with his character as well. There was no one who could topple the veteran in WCW at the time as well. This led to some of the best moments in wrestling history. Seeing The Giant, known as The Big Show in WWE, would make his debut in the nWo. Both Razor Ramon and Diesel were big parts of the faction as well. Also, Hogan came face to face with WCW’s biggest babyfaces in the process.
One of the biggest moments was when Hogan went toe to toe against Sting. The biggest star outside of WWE, Sting was always the tipping point for wrestling fans in the 90s. His appeal and charisma led to people massively hating on Hogan, which led to this iconic moment.

And now, that iconic moment has led to fans unearthing the video from 25 years ago and laughing at it.
Fans laugh out loud at a memorable moment from the 90s involving Hulk Hogan
A fan account recently tweeted a video where an angry granny is trying to slap Hogan as he mocks her. And this got the full attention of everyone on wrestling Twitter.
Funny enough elderly women love pro wrestling. Retirement homes are filled with pro wrestling fans.

Wrestling was much more niche during the Golden age, so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
Angry grannies were a mainstay in wrestling ringsides for decades. I can't count how many older wrestling fans I've met that were turned on to wrestling by their grandmas(as I was)

Spread across wrestling history, prime among them was Mae Young, who got more than just a slap to the face.
Was this a work?

Well, some people are calling her the stunt grandma, so it has to be a work. There is no other explanation for an old lady to beat a wrestler.
She was very likely younger than Hogan.

People love to mock Hogan’s age as he has been in the wrestling industry forever, but he was only in his 40s in the video.
I'd love to Hogan vs. Angry Grandma from YouTube.

That’s a match waiting to happen any moment now.
Both the same age?
— goldenesschaf (@goldenesschaf) December 1, 2022
Well, Hogan was around his 40s in this video so that’s a no brainer.
Her punches are much better than Shane McMahons.

Referring to the horrendous match between Michaels and Hogan, this fan is surely correct.
