You saying a lot of people like/love him is the reason you choose to like him more is so fucking sheepish it makes me wonder how you breath without someone else there to show you how.
Now, I have no problem what-so-ever if you happen to like Hogan. That's great. I 100% disagree, but that doesn't change the fact that you are a fan of his and in this business we all get to love and hate whoever we want and for whatever reasons. But that's where my problem came up. Had you just voted for Hogan, it would have been fine, but since you voted for him and than gave your reasoning behind it as he is a great draw...that makes no sense. It was an opinion question. Not a question of who was better with sales, overness, charisma, or even in ring talent per-say...it was asking who you hated more. And if you reasoning for hating someone less (or even liking him) is based on how OTHER people view/treat/react to him, than you are a mindless sheep.
There, I have said my peace...

You attacked him for voting for Khali before he said anything about Hogan's drawing ability, therefore invalidating that argument.
Obviously, there are factors to liking a wrestler other than their drawing power. Better Than You stated clearly that his favorite wrestler is CM Punk, so it's not like he chooses who he likes purely on drawing power. However, my argument, and what I take BTY's point as is that, while drawing power is not everything, it can't be dismissed. Even if you don't like guys like Hogan, they play a big role in ensuring that guys like Benoit, Jericho, Punk, ect. have a timeslot for you to watch them on television every week. Nobody's saying that Hogan's drawing ability should make him everyone's favorite wrestler, but voting him the most hated wrestler is a rejection of the fact that professional wrestling is a business. Even if you don't like Hogan, an appreciation of how he's paved the way for so many other people should at least prevent him from being your most hated wrestler.
