- A parallel can be made from him to another famous Yoko, Yoko Ono. While many argue that she helped destroy Beatlemania, it has been argued that Yokozuna helped to destroy Hulkamania.

Although Hogan would join World Championship Wrestling and continue wrestling for several years, his popularity with the fans really declined after leaving WWE.
