Who was the more popular wrestler:Hulk Hogan during the prime Hulkamania days or.....
 

Stone Cold Steve Austin during the Attitude era or Loose Cannon during the "Denied" era

Austin by more than you'd think

i second that

I third that.

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

Me: HELL YEAH

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

I would think it was Austin.

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.

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.

Austin

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

HOGAN! :love:

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

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.

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

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

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

LOL @ LC using his mod powers.

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

anyway Austin ruled.
