Not sure what you wanted me to say though. He became the biggest star in the industry on promos, mannerisms, Hulking up, punches, bodyslam, leg drop. He didn't have to have a physically demanding in-ring style to succeed for the bombastic audiences the WWF had in the '80s. Being a larger than life character was more important than being a skilled in-ring technician.

Matsuda would've never recommended him to WWF in the first place if he couldn't work a lick. In an alternate universe where Vince or US promotions "didn't see anything" in Hogan or whatever, dude has a next level legendary gaijin run in Japan.
