Well.. Hogan had a good run with Andre in the WWWF in the late 70s/early 80s. Then he was the AWA's biggest draw in the early 80s, even though they refused to put the belt on him. Then he had a huuuuuuuge run in the WWF through the 1980s and was still a draw in the early 90s. In the mid 90s, he led WCW to record breaking success on PPV, and later as part of the nWo had another great three year run as the frontman of the hottest act in wrestling. And to this day he is still brought in as a special attraction for occasional PPVs, showing WWE still has faith in him to add buys to a show.

By my reckoning, that's close to three decades as a big draw, and two seperate huge money runs.... Austin doesn't come close.

Austin 1998-1999 probably made more money for the WWF than Hogan ever made in one year, however.
