After riding a massive wave of success throughout the 1980s, Hulk Hogan was assumed by many to be a lifelong WWE performer. Hogan was so associated with the brand that the company's foremost competition, WCW, featured a character specifically meant to poke fun at The Hulkster: Randy Hogan. While not a spitting image of the megastar, Randy resembled Hulk enough to make the joke obvious, especially with the facial hair. While the real Hogan was still at the top of the card in WWE, Randy was an enhancement wrestler in WCW, with his sole job being to make other performers look good. Rather than continuing his Hogan gimmick, however, Randy wrestled there as Scott Colton (coincidentally the real name of future wrestler Colt Cabana).
