Berniewood Hogan
IT'S BERNIE SANDERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
6'8", 320 pounds, blonde, willing to swing with Vince and Linda. And probably Trips and Steph.
He'd be the champ in three months.
Is Hulk Hogan the Michael jordan, Wayne Gretzky of wrestling?

Yall are straight buggin. Rock is more popular today. Yes. Made more money iverall. But Yall must be new. Wwf was popular waaaaay before austin. Everyone was watching in 80s into 90s. And nwo made wrestling hot again. Not austin.
But when you say “whos the best ball player all time lebron or jordan” noone says “well obviously lebron. His nike contract more” or “jim brown isbthe best football player cuz he had a career after football”
Higan headlined every major wrestling event for like 20-25 years. Both rock and austin had a 5 year run on top.
Their stans keep bringing up money cuz its only way it makes sense to them. Never mind higan and crew ran 100x more a year with half the promotional tools basically spending millions to take iver the territories television; 1-4 ppvs a year when half the country still didnt even have cable vs 1998 abilities.
Apples and oranges.
Wm 3 will always be the defining match. Not austin rock 1 or 2 or 3
Hulks run starting in 83 - 88 = steve austin.

This, and I can't stand Hogan the person or the wrestler...
But yeah... any of this talk about Zeus made Hogan, or Flair was bigger than Hogan, etc... that's feelings and personal opinion, nothing to do with fact.
The fact that dude turned out to be a bigot definitely erases any respect I had for him, but yeah... if you only saw Hogan in 1997 and on, and only saw his other shyt in hindsight, you're probably underrating how big he was.
If we are looking to directly compare someone to MJ/Gretzky they have to essentially be the most skilled to ever do their craft. The issue is in breaking down what defines skill in rasslin? Is it just working quality matches and great promos? Is it being a draw? If all is considered it is probably st0rmfr0nt Steve or Flair...
Yes. Stop all the b.s. Jordan changed the game for every athlete to get that money. Gretzky did as well but to a lesser extent. They made it so guys were getting millions and not hundred thousand dollar salaries. Hogan did the same..he revolutionized the game and payscale the way no other did in pro wrestling before him. Regardless if others have come who were bigger, Hulk was the first wrestling star of Cable television. That can never be duplicated.
