Oh, idk about all that. I'm sure men, women & children back in '88 were gathered around on Friday nights like, "Yall wanna go see that new Terry Bollea joint?!" :gladbron:


Only people still in denial over this are 80s kids who (understandbly) struggle to let their childhood nostalgia go.

wrestling popularity wise, rock is not close to hogan lol
they even booed the rock during their match lol

as a worldwide celebrity, its hard to judge because times are so different now. its like asking who's more popular? tyson or floyd mayweather. you cant really lose with either one.

but hulks popularity was insane
Toronto is Hoe Kogan's 2nd hometown. You think that would've flew in the 305?

Rock is a mega movie star no doubt about it but from a wrestling stand point only Hogan was bigger, His prime years were insane.

The Rock somewhat reached Hogan's heights back when he was the top dog, even had Hogan in a match which pretty much solidified his pinnacle as the most popular wrestler. It's a toss up with Stone Cold, Hogan & Rock. You can also add Sting, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart & Ultimate Warrior in that list.
