If you think Stone Cold Steve Austin was more popular than Hulk Hogan gimme a hell yeah!

Me: HELL YEAH

[Gerard]

Realistically, is there any way to prove it one way or the other besides personal opinion?

[LK]

I would think it was Austin.

[Aussie Skier]

I'd say hogan.

Why? - because everyone, AND I MEAN EVERYONE (even my mother) knows Hulk Hogan.

But, for example, she certainly doesn't know Steve Austin.

[Funky Fly]

Austin was popular at a time when more people were watching than ever.

Hogan popular with a larger portion of the total audience at the time.

Draw your own conclusions.

[John la Rock]

Austin

well mainly because I started watching wrestling when Austin was doing his thing

[Bad Company]

HOGAN! :love:

[Gouda]

HOGAN. Did Austin ever have his own CARTOON? :shifty:

[Fox]

Hogan will always be the Babe Ruth of pro wrestling: the greatest of all time and ultimately "the man." Forever.

Austin is more like the Mark McGuire of pro wrestling: he garnered a lot of interest and brought about a huge following in wrestling that will probably never happen again. Much like the McGuire home-run race will probably never be as big as it was.

Draw your own conclusions. I say Hogan though.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, I'd have to go with Hogan. EVERYONE in the world knew who he was.

[Evolution]

Yeah, like Aussie_Skier said, everybody has heard of Hulk Hogan. Not everyone has heard of Austin.

[Loose Cannon]

You know, gonna go LC here. Tough choice though.

[McLegend]

LOL @ LC using his mod powers.

[SuperSlim]

Austin. Sure Austin didn't get a cartoon after him but he did get a street amed after him.

anyway Austin ruled.
