I'd argue that, in the Mid South Region, he was one of the biggest names. He was quite popular, but again, the white rabbit was to blame. Same deal with Snuka, not to be denied. I'm saying that they both could have had promotions built around them, not unlike Hogan. They just chose the wrong drug (CO-CAINE, instead of Roids)

I could make the same argument with Jake, had he come out 10 years later, stayed off the blow, or was anywhere BUT in Hogan's shadow, he could have been the top face or heel.
