Hulk Hogan turned marketing into the essence of his wrestling. All great phenomena of pro wrestling, from Gorgeous George to the Dusty Rhodes, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena (just like Coca Cola and Barbie before them); however, Hogan turned that into an art of its own. With Hogan the science of marketing becomes wrestling; wrestling and marketing become one.
Hogan was a protagonist of his times, although a poor wrestler: to say that Hogan is a wrestler is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Hogan embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with professional wrestling.
