So...who exactly did he bury in the 80s during the initial boom period? Vince was gradually building Warrior in '87-89 so who else could've been a drawing top guy without Hogan?DiBiase? As heel champion it'd be fine but still doesn't scream "Face of a National Company"Savage? Perhaps he was just as larger than life and charismatic as HoganOutside of those two nobody realistically looked at Muraco, Hercules, Orndorff, or even Andre as the guy the carry the flag of the company
>>20425545In his entire career he only lost clean 14 times. I’m glad he’s dead and died a lonely death with no family around him due to street drug addiction, lies and depravity.
>>20425584How many times did other megastars like The Rock, Austin, Taker, or Cena lose clean during their time at the top?
>>20425545fuck this egomaniac for not putting over Paul Roma
>>20425545The goal was always to bring in a big monster to job to Hogan, there was no money in long heel runs with the way the business was. The only real burials int he 80s were bringing in territory guys like Adrian Adonis and making them gay comedy characters in the midcard.
>>20425625The rock tried to get hhh over multiple times and had no problem doing the job so that’s a terrible example. Maybe study cagematch and get back to me.
>>20425584reminder:the hulkster is a worldwide legend.your favorite wrestler isn't even acknowledged by the culture outside of reddit.lmaolet your seething be eternal
>>20425704Triple H was never going to be The Guy, he was the one with enough credibility to work with the Draws which happened to be Austin, Rock, Foley, & Undertaker, and being that isn't bad because it does include world title runs here and there to get the top guys something to pursue.Rock wasn't trying to get Trips over, Trips was doing his job correctly.
>>20425625Rock jobbed clean to Hurricane, Austin got over after jobbing clean to Bret. Only shitters like Hogan, Goldberg, and Cena needed to win all the time to stay over and even then all of them got stale and couldn’t draw eventually.
>>20425825>i-if you win you lose: the modern mark's approach to pro wrestling angles
>>20425825>Austin got over after jobbing clean to BretIncorrect, he was already getting over plenty in the buildup to WM13, it was that match that made McMahon confident that Austin was going to be his next star, that he found THE replacement for the expensive Bret and pain in the ass Shawn
>>20425545Smarks think losing is a burial. They are retarded and don't shower.
>>20425959Exactly, the monsters and heels who Hogan use to wrestle? Them being able to knock him down and hurt him actually made them look credible, that Hogan had to fight for victory
>>20425989there is an entire pantheon of hogan's rivals and protege's. and they all got their name from hogan.retard smarks don't understand the rub. just being on the same card as the hulkster was enough to make you a legend.
>>20425989Also don't forget, Hogan apparently really liked working with guys like Piper, Orndorff, and Bundy
>>20425743huh? my guy is The Rock. The biggest superstar wrestling ever created. 5 billy box office. I accept your concession.
Smarks have just been told to hate Hogan because they started watching in the Attitude era or later. So to them Hogan is a corny cartoon or if they go full smark he was a heckin' terrible wrestler and person for politicking and never putting anyone over (forget Austin literally doing that though)
>>20425545If Hogan was wrestling today, who if anyone would the Hulkster bury??? I’m just not seeing draws brother.
Bundy got fucked, but PPV was still new so I can't really blame anyone for it, especially Hulk. It's not like as the top babyface he had to politic to beat a heel on a big show. Big heels whose gimmick is that they're big, are house show mainevents. A heel with more character like Savage can survive a wrestlemania mainevent loss, but it's not like WWF had a ton of Savages lying around.
>>20426061>my guy is The Rockshut the fuck up stupid. you're too young to remember when the rock was an actual wrestler.and the fast and furious isn't wrestling.
>>20426236Bundy was smalltime. By far his biggest feud was with Hogan and his biggest match was at WrestleMania 2. Bundy even hurting Hogan was a rub. Bundy got a big payday, more fame, and more work later all from his run with the Hulkster. Hogan made Bundy a national name.
>>20425584>clean 14 timesMatches with interference, ref fuckery, hardcore matches, etc,. Are not clean. That Rock match at wm18 wasn't clean since there was ref fuckery.
>>20426381You mad the rock became a bigger star than hulk hogan and got more people over than hulk hogan? lol u need to get litty before i take you to the smackdown hotel. Also shut up, bitch!
>>20425545the holding down claims come from the 90s afaik
