Quality post right there and I agree.

I voted Hogan, though my heart wanted to say Austin becuase of the era I grew up in. But Hogan continues to prove it. He shows up in TNA and all of a suddent they're topping their previous ratings mark week in and week out.

Also, he has constantly found a way to have a heavy impact on the last 4 decades of wrestling in three different companies; WWF in the 80's, WCW in the 90's, back to the E in the early part of the decade, and now in TNA in 2010.
