Above the fray.
As an old school wrestling fan......from the Bob Backlund era....hurts me to say that for as big as Hulkamania was......that Stone Cold Steve Austin became an even more popular draw and name.

I'm doing the MJ too legit to quit hand sign as I type this by the way

Hulkamania. If you were a kid in the 80's like me you know that Hulk was EVERYWHERE. Lunchboxes, cartoons, cereal boxes, movies, etc. He was that cac.


No disrespect to Stone Goat but Hulk was :wow:


When he did this ..

No lie we all marked the fukk out:wow: We all thought it was impossible as kids.:wow:



When he was getting his ass whopped and the end was near... That bald blonde cac would pop a senzu bean and power back up again.



Point and you:ufdup: Then hit you with the big boot and then the leg drop and it was :rip:

Hulk Hogan did more juicing. He was carry more muscle than he needed to.

Rocky 3 was way before hulkamanja. Hogan was still in AWA while filming this.

Hulks popularity is the reason wrestling is even still mentioned, Stone Cold made wrestling kool for the Modern ages...Both pushes the Culture forward tho

This. Hogan is pop culture. He is Disney, coca cola, MJ, ETC.

Stone Goat changed wrestling and made it cool though.

Both made their impacts.

Hulkkk Hogan by a mile. Rasslin' popularity exploded when he was with WWE as it was a national promotion compared to before the WWE, wrestling was regional.

:mjlol:....if you really think stone cold was bigger and more popular than the hulk you are literally out of touch with reality or you are young....
Sold more merch better ratings more ppv buys this is well known in wrestling circles lol. He basically saved the wwe from going under along with the rock of course.
