>>18310276>>18310278Comparing how over he was in AWA to the Hulkamania post-Vince over is like trying to compare Seth Rollins to 1998 Austin. Disingenuous. I'm sure he sold out a lot of territory shows and shared a ring with somebody over in Japan, but that's orthogonal to the point here.
Hogan, in WWF, was 100% manufactured. That doesn't mean he'd be a jobber, but they could have put that same muscle behind a lot of other guys and gotten a similar result. He wasn't in that spot because he was the best wrestler or the best body or the best talker, because he wasn't any of that.
