Unfortunately, it isn't accurate. At the very least, it is biased and has major ommissions of serious elements.
I have read books on it, and followed this shit for years. This portrayal doesn't pain a full picture, and is obviously working in favor of Hogan.
Austin beats Hogan easily in this department. By miles.
Also, listing meaningful jobs doesn't have any bearing, since Hogan stayed in his top spot for 20 years, while Austin only was for 5 years, IF THAT. More accurately it would be about 3 or 4. Perhaps even less if you don't count lenghty injury time.
Hogan did everything in his power at whatever cost to hold on to over the course of three decades in two promotions.
He knew when his time was up, and got worse about his ego.
Austin knew his time was up, and bowed out.
You cleverly danced around that major factor.

This pretty much ends the conversation. Austin had almost as many clean jobs in 1/4 the time it took Hogan to get there. And on top of that most of them came during his last WWF run. It really is a rediculous argument.
Lot's of respect for ya Heyman, but your argument is bogus.
