3. Sting (nWo era)

This one is tough since I don't remember liking a lot of Hogan's feuds. They always seemed anti-climactic since you knew who would come out on top eventually.
1. Randy Savage
2. Andre the Giant
3. The Twin Towers
4. Dungeon of Doom
5. Sting
I didn't ever get a chance to follow the Orndorff or Piper feuds from the beginning. I need to find some tapes and do that soon.

1. Andre the Giant -- Of course you would book Hogan to win, but maybe Andre doesn't feel like jobbing? Plus just the sheer spectacle of it.
2. Roddy Piper -- Yes, of course Hogan would win, but you never knew if he would actually pin Piper. And I don't think he did until WCW.
3. Paul Orndorff -- Made lots of money, from my understanding. I've never seen any of it.
4. Sting -- What a strange feud. No contact, then disappointing matches. Still, definitely a big, big feud.
5. Randy Savage -- On again, off again. Really, REALLY would have been better had Savage one-upped Hogan once in awhile.

1 -- Randy Savage --- just because I always loved rooting for Savage over Hogan, yeah Savage could have won more, but Hogan was the #1 guy at the time, so it made business sense
2 -- Ric Flair -- never got off the ground in WWF, but they did well for a bit in WCW ... could have been bigger tho
3 -- Roddy Piper --- I admit I didn't see much of this feud, but what I have seen and read about was great
4 -- WCW --- yes it was nWo v. WCW but it was a great storyline, a great heel turn and reinvigorated Hogan's career
5 -- Shawn Michaels --- again, I am a bigger HBK fan than a Hogan fan, but the initial superkick from Shawn was priceless ...
honorable mentions:
The Rock --- that WM match was good, the fans were into it and WWE did a great job of making it a major moment in each man's career
Sting --- this is more of a what I would have liked to see than what happened ... it would have been great if when Hogan was brought into WCW at first to have the face of the WWF face off against the face of WCW in all their glory instead of having them as allies against Flair and the Dungeon of Doom ... give them the WM 17 treatment early and really, really sell it big Hogan v. Sting ... mega face v. mega face ... and somehow convince Hogan to put Sting over, now that would have been big, big money

I've been reading someone recapping the early WCW Nitros from the beginning. There were clear seeds for a Hogan/Savage vs Sting/Luger match at Starrcade '95 but it of course never happened.
