There was also Rey Mysterio who also had the "unfathomably small guy beats monster" schtik, which people somehow loved. Hogan was that. If you mean "currently" then no, he'd probably be IC level at best because of his lack of charisma. I'll still feel very nostalgic and sad when he dies I’ll feel the same as the late, great Iron Sheik would were he still among the living 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Good to see Rhea back but in kayfabe terms are we meant to believe that Rhea and Dom haven’t seen or spoken to each directly for 3 months and she has just been sat at home watching the woman that injured her make moves on her bloke every Monday? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulks gimmick would have gone stale much quicker in todays era in my opinion Hogans heel turn saved his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The least troubling of them is that he likes to poo on people's heads. Allegedly As I’m not into wrestling I’ve only just heard about this. What a freak. Has he been charged yet?

Horrible in the ring (leg drop as finishing move? ) and not even especially good on the mic. It’s disgusting that he became both the face of rasslin’ and so damn famous/wealthy.

Jonesy7211 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Hogan is the biggest wrestling "politicker" (if that's even a word) of all time. The only reason he joined the NWO was because he saw how popular they were, the story is that his spot in the NWO was going to Sting until he pushed for it. IMHO he's jumping on Trump's bandwagon because of how popular he is after the assassination attempt. He's a proven liar too, he'll say anything to make himself the centre of the story. His initial popularity came at a time when America became more nationalistic and aggressive under Reagan, and Vince McMahon recognised he needed an all American hero. He was pushed because of his cartoonish look. In reality he was a steroid junkie with the biggest bald spot known to sports. Of course the kids loved him, just like they loved Mr. T, Arnie, Indiana Jones etc. He was Americana come to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as kid... man I loved him The youth of a few years ago will feel the same when they get to their 30s about John Cena Hogan also was the most heel wrestler about but still fans loved him. He did the heel antics in nearly all his feuds like Savage, Sid and Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
