The Hulk would need several years to work up enough anger to cause Prime to even start straining a bit. Superman Prime is the strongest superman ever, making the planet juggler Pre-Crisis look like a chump. The Hulk has never had his upper strength limit quantified, but he needs time to work himself up to it. He usually starts (the stronger Green versions) at 100 ton strength.
Normal Superman would win the Hulk in an arm-wrestling match (again due to the fact that Supes has a higher base strength level, and although the Hulk might get stronger than normal Superman it takes some time and rage. An arm wrestling match doesn't have enough time to allow the Hulk to get to full speed).
Against Superman Prime the Hulk could be given enough prep time to make Batman envious, and he'd still lose (unless the prep time was inside a gamma generator for a couple thousand years, with something seriously annoying him like heck and causing his anger to seethe to unknown levels. Then he may be able to make Prime take note).
But having Prime sit down, and the Hulk sit opposite him,and they start to arm wrestle. .......Well, this would be one time the Hulk's healing factor would be a good thing - because he would have to regrow an entire arm (and shoulder).
Superman Prime by such a huge margin that the Hulk will have to revert back to Banner so as to get psychiatric assitance to soothe his injured pride. Some chiropractic consultation would also be necessary.
Prime wins - with ridiculous ease!

Yeah, they could show him Hostess (fruit pie, with oh so golden and delicious stuffing) articles for an couple thousand years. Prime would be crushed.

Hulk would take this easily...If one punch from prime didnt kill him before he even has time to realize he needs to get angry, or is even facing him.

People need to stop imagining the strength increase as a linear anger increase, over a period of time.
Secondly, if you are going to reference professional arm wrestling matches lasting less than a second, you'll note also that it's not about who is the stronger. Technique is the main factor.
Hulk's "calm" strength is above 100 tons, we don't know how much it is.
The strength increase is not a linear equation. His strength increase is not proportionate to his anger increase. All Hulk needed was a few insults to allow him to support 150 billion tons. Superman Prime may be initially stronger than Hulk, but all Hulk would need is a source of emotional distress before he outclasses Superman Prime's strength by a billion.
In any contest of pure strength, Hulk wins.

If I am correct, this is a contest of pure strength. His other powers have no effect. If the Abomination is raping Betty, (lol,) and Hulk is seeing it, he would slam (Prime) Superman's arm through the table. Any feat of strength Supeerman could do, Hulk has, or will surpass it (with the proper motivaton).
Sorry, I guess you did. I didn't think Betty would willingly make out with Abomination. But I guess it could happen. "Gamma Spawned Love Triangles," Issue #1. Now THAT'S something I'd buy.
It would take quite a bit of stress to match Superman Prime's strength, but I have no doubt Hulk could match or exceed it. If he's really pissed.
Maybe if the Hulk is wagering his soul on the match, or something like that. Maybe...
