Sylvester Stallone and Vince McMahon were caught in a rare photo holding the most iconic entity in WWE

A wrestling fan account posted this rare picture which shows McMahon and Stallone holding the iconic 24-inch Pythons of Hulk Hogan. This photo was taken during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2005. WWE finally inducted Hulk Hogan into the prestigious Hall of Fame, after nearly 3 decades of work in the industry.

The pair first started to make a blaze in the industry back in the 1980s. When Hogan pinned The Iron Sheik for the WWE Championship, it led to the blowing up of Hulkamania. Add to that, the slam that was heard around the world in WrestleMania 3. It led to a massive outburst in the Hulkster’s mainstream popularity.

Even during the New Generation Era, Hogan held the WWE title for a few days. But his biggest moment after his WrestleMania 3 moment would come when he would shift companies and form the nWo in WCW. But even after doing the unthinkable, McMahon took back Hogan when the Hulkster wanted to return in the 2000s. All through these moments, Hogan had the support of his fans and his iconic 24-inch Pythons, something that he is still proud of to this day.
