in 96 when wrestling was in the shitter it was Hogans heel turn and the formation of the NWO which lit it back on fire.
which was before Austin exploded

JR is in denial

really?

It's this. I wasn't even a Hogan fan, found him to be corny, but to deny what he did for pro wrestling is straight up retarded. Did he "save" wrestling? Depends on what that means. Vince's vision and Hogan's popularity is 100% responsible for the explosion of pro wrestling's growth from the territory days

Dialectal materialism teaches us that if Hogan never existed, wrestling would have taken a similar path anyway

Hogan helped make wrestling super mainstream but Vince is the one who saved wrestling, multiple times at that

WELL HOGAN 3:16 SAYS OTHERWISE BROTHER

JR is on the vince sr's camp that hogand didn't have a wresler body, but he made up for it.

>>18360795
It wouldn't, Vince and Hogan are why wrestling is as it is now, Flair and Dusty didnt have the manpower Vince had to do what he did.

>>18360795
Meh. I'm more inclined to believe it would have stayed territorial-like until most ended up following the same path that happened, one by one they went tits up.

No way the explosion of popularity, that for all intents and purposes they've been riding since the height of 30+ million watching Hulk/Andre on the Main Event happens.


I am a believer in time being wheel and we end up repeating over and over again. 20/30 years from now, I wouldn't be surprised if a governing body like the NWA is the main player again.

NWO would have fizzled without Hogan.

It fizzled with him, WCW's win streak started with the Outsiders before Hogan joined

Because he only likes 8-star matches between Bing Bong and Ning Nong at a sumo hall for a bag of ramen and a respectful bow
