Has to be Hogan. Dude drew TERAdimes during the '80s as the greatest babyface of all time and then AGAIN during the Attitude era as maybe the greatest heel of all time.

Hogan. Even zoomers that didn't grow up with him know that he's synonymous with pro wrestling.

It's not a matter of opinion, just data.
Adjusted for inflation, it's Bruno because of longevity.
Best year ever it's Stone Cold.
Best 2 year run, Hulk Hogan, done twice. once as heel once as babyface.

It's not as simple as that. Bruno sold tickets sure, but did they even have any merchandise for him back then? I'd wager that Hogan, Austin and even Cena made more money for the 'E through toys and t-shirts than Bruno raked in at the garden.

It’s Hogan bro
He was dimes in the 80s
Dimes in the 90s
the biggest and most popular undisputed champion of the 00’s when WWE bought wcw.
It’s a cold hard fact of life
Hulk Hogan IS Professional Wrestling

96-98 were the best financial years for professional wrestling, in pure drawing power.
Hogan was the main focus for those years.

Austin was the biggest during his peak, but it wasn't very long. Hogan wins by longevity.

Some of these options are retarded. If AJ was a draw, it'd still be TNA.

Hypothetically, Kevin Nash could draw a billion Africans with his anus. So there's that to consider.

One thing we can all agree on: it's not the Stinker. Turner tried everything to make Stink their ace practically from the moment they bought it in 88. And he stank up the main event scene for the next decade plus because of it.

Can't argue with stats brother. Hogan is the greatest to ever do it just off the fact that he ushered in TWO different golden age periods. No one will ever be able to replicate that kind of feat, ever.

Say what you want, but without Nash there wouldn't have been a spiking of the industry in 1996 onwards, no Austin, WWF was looking like it was going out of buisiness, WCW would have ticked along and probably been liquidated by AOL-Time Warner in 2001 anyway, and wrestling now would probably be small regional organizations with Japan as the big money location.
