Imagine if Hogan in the mid 80's to the early 90's had the benefit of the following.....

Monday Night RAW live every Monday Night.
Smackdown for 2 hours Every Thursday Night
Monthly Pay Per Views
The Internet (Both from a visibility standpoint and as an avenue to sell merchandise)

Hogan was the bigger star anyways but if he had the things listed above, Austin wouldn't even be in the conversation. It's actually not even a fair comparison.
I also think that is why Austin's run on top was much shorter than Hogan's. He had to actually wrestle and put on good matches every night as opposed to a shitfest with some poses thrown in.
