>Hogan's peak in the 80s is untouchable for a pure babyface>Surfer Sting, the pure babyface 88-95 is in a company playing second fiddle >Tweener Crow Sting is massively over ... while hogan is having the greatest heel run in wrestling historySting at his most over owes his popularity to a great idea from Scott Hall and a great heel run from the purest babyface in history. He let his run fizzle and die because he, in his own words, was in awe of Hogan and deferential to him. There is a story where he explains going to a convention representing WCW with Hogan representing WWF. He was in awe of his charisma, his popularity and the WWF production.
>He could have been more over if he'd just won clean at starcade 97But he didn't politic right. That's a big part of wrestling and something he never excelled at. That's why he got beat in WWE by Rollins and HHH, why he let himself kill his character in the Wolfpac, why he stayed in TNA forever, he doesnt see himself as a wrestling God, which he is, and isn't a self mark, at least on the level of greats.
>In a just world he's the greatest face of all time holding the belt from starcade 97 till at least 98, but we live in carney world and the stinger is too normal for the cartoon life of a pro wrestler.
