I agree to a point, but WAS should be the key word, people are sick of seeing him now, yes he has done a lot for the business, but now people want to move on, and Hogan doesn't seem to understand this. I personally prefer Ric Flair over Hogan. Flair was the Ultimate Heel when he wanted to be.
As for best wrestler, thats easy......Flair. Hogan has always been a terrible wrestler, he got so popular on Charisma, Booking, and the hours he put in, he was never the technical genius, most of his matches consisted of the same thing over and over.
-Hulk gets beaten (or busted open)
-Hulk points at opponent
-Hulk.....Hulks up
-Hulk throws some punches (opponent usually booked to oversell them)
-Hulk does a Scoop Slam
-Hulk does a Leg Drop & Pins for the win.
Hardly Bret Hart material, most of you guys here could do better.
It's the way he was booked, sold and put over that got him where he was. We had Hogan shoved down our throat in the 90s especially, most people bought it, they are trying the same thing now with Cena.
