>>18611988>1988-1992. that's longer than Rock's and Austin's. longer than a lot of stars if you factor in prime too.the steroid trial and disagreement with vince about money caused his abrupt departure. vince welcomed him back in 96 but problems between warrior and vince caused him to leave again after only a few months. if not for all that and he had stayed he would have had a longer run at the top. vince even tried to get him to come back in 98 before he joined wcw. he was the only wrestler to pin hogan clean for the title. vince loved the warrior and if he had stayed would have celebrated him more throughout the years, during the 90s and 2000s, instead of doing hit pieces on him like the self-destruction dvd and people today would be acknowledging him as one of the most popular wrestlers of all time instead of a footnote
