Austin couldn't draw a dime in '98. He just finally lucked out with that cool anti-authority angle.That's all.Your revisionist propaganda won't change shit. Now, to properly say how it actually went here's the deal. Hogan was a big star(bigger than Austin ever was) but he wasn't some Vince puppet .He was a self made star. Later,Rock did the same and took ae to new heights. Austin was the only one from the 3 that was heavily related to Mcmahon. Those 2 eventually departed from wrestling and were bigger celebrities and that's the only reason Mcmahon said Austin was the biggest star. It's because he wants the biggest star to be remembered related to him and his company.Austin remaining with wwf was the sole reason Vince chose him. Therefore he can say, "look the biggest star ever was alongside me and my company and far bigger than those 2 leavers". It's to feed his endless ego. That's all. But he knew both Hogan and Rock were far bigger than Austin, and had Rock stayed with wwf Vince would have turned to him. Enough with bullcrap myths about Austin when there were better wrestlers who deserved recognition.
