>>11485180The purpose of a wrestler is to put asses in the seats without hurting your opponent or hurting yourself with senseless moves - in that sense, Hogan put more asses in seats than anyone in history, over multiple decades, with different characters, was more recognisable than any wrestler in history, and created many of the most famous moments in wrestling history (the third man, slamming Andre, staredown with the Rock etc). The industry, Austin, Rock, this fucking board, none of it may have existed without Hogan.
Smarks just think its cool to shit on Hogan like it used to be cool to shit on Cena until complaints about Cena oversaturated. They can't stand that Hogan wasn't doing twenty near falls or top rope 720 star presses because he could get the same response by pointing his finger. And for all the smarks coom over Kenny Omega, Hogan's moustache is more recognizable than Omega to normies. You'd probably have to run through a good through normies to not hear "AEW? What's that?" but every single one of them would know who Hulk Hogan is.
Hogan is and always will be the GOAT, period. And if you don't understand why then you don't understand wrestling.
