@gstar235 I agree. From a wrestling standpoint Hulk Hogan cannot touch 90% of the guys that are currently in the WWE HOF.

@oldschool6804 I havent seen it but Im not going to doubt it. Still needed Vince to make it what it was. You are 100 percent right about that last part even stole his mustache.

[MrPotatoesLatkie]

@gstar235 Nah. Vince knew it was Hulk Hogan because he had him come from the AWA. Hogan was the guy because he had the size and, the charisma. He was king in an era where size and, muscles meant everything to the mainstream type of fan. He was larger than life. Some were more chiseled, or were bigger, but lacked that "it" thing Hogan had.
